  3. where to go to school

    lynnintn replied to tshadwick's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    lynnintn replied to Daisy2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Daisy, I am a Vandy grad, and worked there for a few years; it is an excellent place to learn, but also a very intense environment. I worked PICU and Neuro ICU, but also did a few shifts on the famous...

  10. Pharmaceutical Sales

    lynnintn replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I once pursued this and got a few phone interviews; Berlex likes to hire nurses; most of the other companies don't; go to Medzilla which has a job board and informative forums @ pharm. sales
