  1. Changing jobs after maternity leave??

    ukstudent replied to babynurse06's topic in General Nursing

  2. new grads in icu

    ukstudent replied to firehawkrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can see where the OP is going. If the new grads never take on the sickest then they will never learn how to do it, even when seasoned. Maybe when one comes to the unit a new grad could take the...

  3. Want to Leave the USA for the UK...

    ukstudent replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

  7. Is It Too Early To Attend Job Fair?

    ukstudent replied to land64shark's topic in Nursing Career

  9. ANY DC or MD Excessior Students?

    ukstudent replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. ANY DC or MD Excessior Students?

    ukstudent replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You cannot become a Dr. through EC. You can get an RN license if you are already an LPN or EMS. However, Md does not recognize it, if you do not already have an RN license. If you think there is...
