   Nips replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

   My hospital makes physicians, PAs, RNFAs, and CRNAs pay a fee each year(about $500.00) that covers all their meals, drinks and snacks. Although they don't stand in line to pay, they still have to pay...

2. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

   Nips replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I agree with the other two posts. I faced a similar situation. No one wanted to hire a new grad unless they had their BSN. I took the first and only job offered to me and began working on my BSN. I...

   Nips replied to sugah-dumplin's topic in Florida Nursing

7. MDC 4th Semester LEADERSHIP

   Nips replied to SouthernAsh's topic in Florida Nursing

   I did the nursing program online (I was in the Bridge Program) last year but I think that Leadership is the same for all. You can expect to be more on your own. You will still have a preceptor, but...
