    How long did it take for you to hear back from Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program ?

    Cinqly replied to nurse901's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing-FNP Program

    Cinqly replied to ms_sheesh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't speak for Frontier, but having had previous degrees in music I can say there will always be someone who cares about the "name". In music it was Juilliard, Eastman, Indiana, etc. I'm sure it's...

    Nursing Tech Positions

    Cinqly replied to jennshort568's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I will second that. At the hospitals I know (Methodist, St. Francis, Med) you cannot get benefits as a nurse tech. It is a PRN position, and thus not eligable for full- or part-time benefits. If you...

    Cinqly replied to LBS2008's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The WIA grant was the best kept "secret" in our nursing school! We applied through the TN Career Center. There was a cap on how much money we could get, but I'm not sure if it was because of our area...
