    nurse2033 replied to aminoacid9's topic in Government, Military

    I was at COT two years ago. There is a lot of PT, in the mornings, and you will take two PT tests. The people who were not fit were miserable. The only thing you can really do to prepare, is to...

    New RN - asked by former faculty to consider tutoring

    nurse2033 replied to TU RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Actually, because you are so close to school, you might be a lot more appropriate to tutor than a nurse 15 years out of school. Speciality practice (which most of us are in) deprives you of a lot of...

    nurse2033 replied to alyssatgeorge's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
