    CrunchyMama replied to webstar's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of being able to do this and honestly I don't know why any school would do it like that. I certainly wouldn't want to take either in a short time like that and together. It's hard...

    As a new grad should I seek critical care experience first?

    CrunchyMama replied to ErinN.'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    Around here a lot of places prefer or require a year of medsurg. But I would definitely jump on it if you can and want to. Good
