  2. How would i go about becoming a nurse in Australia if i live in the U.S.?

    Laurendd replied to marissa09's topic in International Nursing

    I should have phrased it differently, apologies for any misinformation. The USA does not like for a person of American Citizenship taking the oath of another country and will not recognize it as such....

    Laurendd replied to marissa09's topic in International Nursing

    So I took my test today, 75 questions (I had a feeling it would shut off at 75, i don't know why). Last time I had all 265. This time I feel better because when I sat down to do the test I felt like I...

  20. What did you do for work during school?

    Laurendd replied to Giant Panda's topic in General Nursing

    I waited tables for the first three years then got a call center job in my last year. I really wish I'd had the call center job all along, I loved it, the hours were great and I made really good money...

    Laurendd replied to OrionQuiltsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Aveeno is non-greasy as well. I used to use some Avon lotion called silicone glove when I was in Australia. The hospitals there had lotion dispensers next to the soap which was the best in winter. Now...
