    JoycMarr replied to Pakie27's topic in Arizona Nursing

  4. I finally got a job offer!

    JoycMarr replied to kikif0910's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've seen rooms posted on Craigslist, I would just be very careful, and probably would see if there's someone at the hospital who will let you crash (maybe someone who works an opposite shift as you)...

  5. Foreign Nurse need help to get a job in AZ!!

    JoycMarr replied to Pakie27's topic in Arizona Nursing

    JoycMarr replied to SheilaORN's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. Need advice in NE Arkansas please

  10. PCT or CNA what's better to start out persuing?

    JoycMarr replied to 2bnursewithnopurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would choose the CNA route, because PCT is really just a job description that usually requires you to be a CNA first, or be eligible to test for it. The PCT job description will vary from place to...

    JoycMarr replied to sample24's topic in Arizona Nursing

  12. This Economy Is Affecting Nurses

    JoycMarr replied to keigei's topic in General Nursing

  16. Travel Nursing..HELP!

    JoycMarr replied to readyforsuccess99's topic in Alabama Nursing

  17. Impossible to find a job in this area

    JoycMarr replied to AnnaC's topic in Virginia Nursing
