    Scrubmouse RN replied to krstxn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not in the market for a job yet, but I don't want to work more than 10 miles from where I live; which equals to about 30-45 min commute time (traffic here is abysmal). Getting stuck in traffic is...

  4. Study groups... To be or not to be?

    Scrubmouse RN replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Students

    Scrubmouse RN replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

  12. NLN Entrance Exam

    Scrubmouse RN replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Students

  13. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Scrubmouse RN replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

  20. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    Scrubmouse RN replied to sstephens04's topic in General Students

  21. CLC students?

    Scrubmouse RN replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois Nursing
