    Pokytrokyt replied to LizLemon's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know of many other loan reimbursement programs, other than the WHC program. One of my friends got a scholarship for $10,000 (I think) from Virginia Hospital Center (outside DC). Not sure if...

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

  6. New grads 2011, Northern Virginia/DC, who is hiring?

    Pokytrokyt replied to Nurses-Rule1987's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think it's a supply and demand issue. Right now, there are more new RN's (ADN and BSN) entering the market in this area, than there are hospital jobs for them to fill. In a tight job market, I...

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Pokytrokyt replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing
