  2. Tips on Talking with Nurse Recruiters?

  7. What's typical while in Nursing school?

  8. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

  10. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    sassiebaz-- it's an 18 month program. clinicals times/days per week are all different per semester. you pretty much need to be available when they say jump. however, the clinical sites have been...

  17. T-shirt Slogans

    as an answer to all those who wonder how we can do the job we do: sick kids would still be sick, even if i wasn't there to see it. at least if i'm there as their nurse, i'm able to make a difference...
  18. Posters that are not nurses

    i just sat down and read each of the comments in this thread. for a non-"venting" thread, in general, this feels to me like a pseudo-bash on newbies and students. in a perfect world, those with the...
  19. New grad in Pedi - then later go into adult?

    pediatrics is a whole different animal (and specialty). i think most people have a true love/hate relationship with working with sick children. that aside, have you considered trying an extern...
