   How soon should I begin to contact agencies before I start traveling? example: Do I start talking to recruiters 3 months ahead of time? I don't want them to "bug" to long before I'm ready to start. :)

   Lindsay42 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   South University does NOT require clinicals. That's not the reason I chose them, but it's a huge perk!

5. RN to BSN online

10. Yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    Lindsay42 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in New Nurse

    I didn't get yelled at last week, but I was talked down to. I was told by a seasoned nurse that it is never ok to be belittled. If something gets out of hand with a doc she told me to say, "I do not disrepect you and you will not disrepect me." Ma...
