    I will finish an accelerated BSN program in May, 2005. Once I graduate (school in Florida), I would like to move back to my home state (PA). Would any hospitals take on a GN from another state? What...

  6. Hiring GN in Another State?

    KristinWW replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I would need to move between school years so my kids don't have to switch schools mid-year. Therefore, I'd need to move immediately upon graduation, or wait another year. We are VERY unhappy here...

  12. Just to say Hi

    KristinWW replied to bettyboop's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know any British RNs but I do know many British employees from the large companies here. They seem to be very happy here and we love to tease each other because the cultures are different...

  13. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    KristinWW replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    There is a big teaching hospital here from which I was told by six nursing students to stay away. The reason? The Phillipino nurses would tear the nursing students to shreds and implied only...

    KristinWW replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I used to tan (please, no flames) when I lived up North and I loved it! The whole aura of the sun-n-fun, music, light, and relaxation picked me up on the coldest and snowiest of days! I absolutely...

  18. who are these people?

    KristinWW replied to KLS's topic in General Nursing

  23. I've decided to be a nurse... HELP!

    KristinWW replied to cuz_i_can's topic in General Nursing

    I don't wish to discourage, but I counseled many high school grads with careers du jour, only to wake up much sadder and wiser with empty pockets :) Have you pursued career counseling? It's free...

    KristinWW replied to tjello's topic in General Students
