  1. States hiring New RN Grads?

    LoriNJ replied to 2CareerRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SMN, it seems to be angering you when others are lumping those who got jobs together as "lucky". But on the other side you are doing the same thing by lumping them together as "hard-working". I know 2...

    LoriNJ replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to VegRN's topic in General Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to rutgersgrad10's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to rollydrooly208's topic in General Nursing
