6. Resume question

   Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Thanks, hiddencatRN. I guess that means my school info has to go too (shame, 'cause it looks good). At least NOT having school and clinical stuff there means my resume doesn't absolutely scream...

    Scooter321 replied to yenid0327's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, I'm working at at a pedi center for kids with severe neurological injury. It's actually the place you will do your pedi rotation if you go the LPN or RN route at MWCC. It's tough, but I really...
