2. At my wits end......

   FullTimeTraveler replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

   Continue with nursing, no question. First, it is one of the highest projected job needs for the future. When you have a family, security matters. If you have a kid, think of how well nursing fits with that. You can work three days a week (12s) and ma...

6. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

   FullTimeTraveler replied to Sheri257's topic in ADN/BSN

   I disagree completely. There is already a distinction between LVN/LPNs, RNs, and NPs, all with there own teir of responsibilities. The problem is, there is a division among RNs b/c of the ADN vs BSN, and honestly, there is a difference. I meet ind...

7. Looking for a great PACU in Santa Clara/San Jose area

   FullTimeTraveler replied to nungum's topic in PACU

   Sorry, I wish I could help. I asked b/c if you were open to move to anywhere, I've worked in various hospitals all over Cali in the PACU. However, unfortunately, none in San Jose which it seems is where you need to be. Good luck.
