   gogatsby replied to gogatsby's topic in NP Students

   One of the nurses who used to work with me (she moved) is in the program and liked it. I got her final recommendation before applying. While certainly not a walk in the park, we both like to travel and she said it's great to be online because you c...

   gogatsby replied to PhillyQuaker's topic in Pennsylvania

   For those of you doing accelerated programs, for what it's worth: While I didn't go to Drexel, I went to Rush University (in Chicago) and did their 12 month accelerated second degree program (which they no longer have...I was in their last class!). ...

14. Clock OUT and IN for lunch in a NICU???

    gogatsby replied to Jerico's topic in Activism

    After we work for six hours, we automatically have a half hour deducted from our pay. They skip the clocking in and out by just doing it for us...how convenient. I'm lucky to sit down for ten minutes to eat dinner, let alone actually leave the floo...
