  4. Any tips on how to become faculty?

    There are lots of schools now that hire remote nursing faculty that are classified as PRN positions and you don't have to relocate. There was a job recently posted on LinkedIn for an ATI nurse...

  10. Is anyone here loving nursing school?

    I am loving it, but of course, it isn't perfect. I enjoy taking care of patients and learning how the body works-it just fascinates me. But then again, I don't get to see my friends or fiance as much....

  19. What is a TYPICAL day as a CNA like?
