1. Travel School Nurse

   Shanny246 replied to Matcha-tea's topic in Career Support

   I agree with looking into sub nursing and checking schoolspring. I would also just look on indeed for "school nurse" postings. The other thing I recommend is reaching out to an agency, like Maxim, and getting a 1 year contract or so. That is how I go...

4. Is Rivier College a good school?

   Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing
