    mitchsmom replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    mitchsmom replied to jkaee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    mitchsmom replied to sunshine9's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It may depend on your area, but I know the nurses around here almost have to know at least a little Spanish. Some need to know more than a little. I would think the answer overall would be to keep...

    mitchsmom replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. University trained RN's or Hospital Trained, which would you prefer?

    mitchsmom replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students

    I would think hospitals would be forever happy to hire diploma and ADN's- the more education people have, the more money they are going to want to make. Why would they want

    mitchsmom replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students
