    We have to seperate all our belongings, no sweaters or hats or watches...etc....but never had to wash our hands. However, that is brilliant and a very creative way to keep cheaters from ruining the...

    I think with the other places available (such as SPC) ...TO PAY 14K for what Galen gives you versus 5K (maybe) from SPC is a smarter move. Just my take on
  6. Need RN salary information in NH

    Holy cow, can I assume maybe this is in Exeter? For some reason I could see that happening there and frankly, I believe Dover gave raises not too long ago, but I definitely could be wrong. I'm...
  7. Not really. I applied at PTEC last fall and got in within a week. It's all a matter of WHEN YOU apply. Additionally, their program is maybe 3k total. Do you want to pay the extra 11k instead of...

    Byrd- First off, breath deep. You will get a ton of information from all the schools...things to keep in mind....A) Which schools are "accredited" and have credits that will transfer should you...
