    From being a nurse to a flight attendant

    MsPebbles replied to abschick's topic in Nursing Career

    MsPebbles replied to Jennifer Sapp's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    MsPebbles replied to lewisamber7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    @KylaS, I wouldn't worry so much...with your GPA & current score I'm sure you'll get in! But either way, good luck on your test. If you're worried about A&P, I would definitely review your old...

    MsPebbles posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After this semester I'll only have one more pre-req before I can apply to my school's nursing program, and that is Micro. We have the option to take either General or Pathogenic Microbiology. I'm...

    Would this be innapropriate?

    MsPebbles posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm trying to find an administrative hospital job, but I'm having no luck. I know I'm qualified, but it's very disheartening when I apply and literally 10 minutes later I get a "pursuing other...

    MsPebbles posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MsPebbles replied to MsPebbles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I think it's safe to assume I just ruined my chances for one of the positions I applied for (Unit Secretary). I left a message for the nurse manager to further express my interest and I was so...

    Would this be innapropriate?

    MsPebbles replied to MsPebbles's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. Actually, this position is listed online, which is especially why I'm so anxious and determined to get it! So considering it's an available position, do you think I could go...

    What does "contingent" mean?

    MsPebbles replied to MsPebbles's topic in General Nursing
