  6. There are quite a few hospitals that have a loan payback as part of their offer. I believe the state of Florida is what funds it (in order to recruit nurses), so it should be available no matter...

    Nclex 1 1/2 week to go

    Nasty clinical instructors

    I had an instructor like that - screamed at me for not giving a bed bath to a patient that had been shot between the eyes & did not even want to be touched, much less have a bed bath - not to...

    My class had a pinning last Dec 16th. We weren't sure what to expect. The reheasal took forever - you would have thought our school never held a pinning ceremony before. A lot of us were...
