  4. Do-it-yerself clinicals

    epg_pei replied to epg_pei's topic in General Students

    epg_pei replied to MichaelSSSS's topic in General Nursing

    epg_pei replied to DebUK's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.bls.gov/k12/html/sci_004.htm It's not exhaustive, but it's not bad for an in-a-nutshell description. I actually wish there was a very detailed yet easily understood description of what...

    epg_pei replied to Mika8's topic in International Nursing

  20. Would this CD for sale be useful to a new student, or not?

    epg_pei replied to foqus's topic in General Nursing

  24. Nurses earning over $100K in Ontario

    epg_pei replied to epg_pei's topic in International Nursing

    Mmm, been there done that in another life. They used to limit us to 6x10hrs a week. Good thing too. Working that many hours for an extended period is not good for the happy factor.
