   Moosey32 replied to spongebob6286's topic in New Nurse

   There's no harm in looking around?? You do have SOME experience, so I wouldn't worry about the jobs that list that you need experience, because you have some. A lot of jobs that say "experience preferred" or whatever will sometimes still hire a new g...
