    Rose_Queen replied to arichards488's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to the above, also keep an open mind in nursing school. I went in thinking I wanted to work in peds or L&D. Guess which two were my least favorite experiences... I have worked in the...

    Experience before Travel Nursing?

    Rose_Queen replied to spasta's topic in General Nursing
