    quezen replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    quezen replied to QueenElisaRocks's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  8. Frustrated and considering a career change

    quezen replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

  9. Frustrated and considering a career change

    quezen replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

  14. Everest Nursing school issues

    quezen replied to Motoxer28's topic in Florida Nursing

    What is a 'Daytime TV College'? What does it mean to 'push the lay person to RN in 10 shifts'? Just wondering. The poster above does have a point. There are a lot of colleges in the US that charge 40...

    quezen replied to Motoxer28's topic in Florida Nursing

  20. ACLS Class

    quezen replied to nightingale's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't mind driving a bit "ProAction" in El Paso has classes about every quarter. They are easy to deal with and, like a previous poster said, quick to get you in and get you out.

  21. Texas is the case study for system implosion

    quezen replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare
