4. Howard County General Hospital PCT Training Position

   FutureNurseSaga replied to renee_cal's topic in Maryland

   I have looked into that program but I was thinking that 1-year contract was a way for the hospital to guarantee that they aren't wasting their money training a person who will leave them in a couple weeks. The program is also for nursing students (ac...

6. Is it possible to take 4 classes in summer 2009?

8. Pre-nursing student, PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE

   FutureNurseSaga replied to Central 268's topic in General Nursing

   As long as those credits are transferable... What if you change your mind down the road and realize you just wasted thousands of dollars on credits that won't transfer anywhere... now that would suck. If it is like you say it is and the spot is 100%...
