    Top Paying Hospital In the OKC Area?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to new2okrn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Out of curiosity, does having a BSN make a difference when it comes to pay? I have 5 yrs experience and am looking for a job. If low to mid 20's is what I can expect to make I might just keep staying...

    Questions about Army Civilian Nurse

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Kurious RN's topic in Government, Military

    Good luck! The resumes that you have to submit are quite different than a "regular" resume. Let me know if you'd like some tips. If it isn't written a certain way it may never get seen by a hiring...

    Thank you RussA! If we move to Cannon it will be in November, I don't plan to start looking for a job until we are somewhat settled. Maybe there will be an opening in L&D at that time. If not,...
