The spouse and I are finishing our first year in nursing school. We love it! We will be graduating in May 2005. We are finding it hard to get by financially. We have taken every loan and grant out there and we have been awarded academic scholorsh...

Good idea! I will check into it.

thanks Suzanne4

Does anyone know of any nurses who are traveling to the US but living in Mexico? (Or any other low cost of living country) Here is my thinking on this. One could live in a country with a low cost of living and travel and work in the US, or where ev...

Thanks everyone. I am in a small cow town with very small hospital so aprenticeship is out.

Hi everyone. I need some advice from you all, but first let me give you some background. I am 46 and have worked either as mid-level manager or owned my own business my whole adult life. I have decided to become a nurse for many reasons which I wi...

I am an SN, 2 and 1/2 semesters to graduation, but I have spoken to two hospitals that have preceptorships in ICU or Cardiac ICU. They said they would be happy to take me as a graduate student. You gotta love the nursing shortage!! ps - You might w...

nursesrmofun, i understand they might be trying to concentrate but normal decency tells you that you don't treat people this way. puting a hand in someone's face is down right rude and showes a level of contempt that no one deserves!!

Thanks for all your replies.

Excuse me for what might be a stupid question - but, is there a difference between an agency and a travel nurse company? I am still a student nurse so am not fully clear about these things. My impression is that they are one in the same. Correct m...
