  8. Are You Where You Thought You'd Be?

    adpiRN replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Nursing

    I guess. As a new grad my top two choices were L&D and NICU. I got an L&D job but didn't LOVE it like I thought I would. I took some time off after having my son and then worked mother/baby....

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    adpiRN replied to Mesfun23's topic in School, College Programs

    You don't have to pick a speciality while still in school and can always change after working for awhile. Great thing about nursing! I don't remember about acceptance, sorry. I graduated in 2009....

    adpiRN replied to Mesfun23's topic in School, College Programs

    adpiRN replied to annefrustrated's topic in General Nursing

    I did this exact same thing. My NY license was still current. It's a pain. You need fingerprints, transcript, several forms of ID, and proof that you worked as a nurse in the past few years (which...

  20. Least stressful nursing specialty

    adpiRN replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing
