Thanks. I'm feeling so many emotions. Nervous, excited, happy, proud, and scared. But most of all excited. The application process took 13 months. I can't believe it's finally
I don't have my orders yet either. I'm all moved into storage now. I didn't want to wait until the last minute. It was an expensive plan but I am a single mom and couldn't do it all by myself in a...

It has now been four weeks since my complete application has been under review by the nursing boards. It seems almost unbelievable that no one can tellme anything. My recruiter states that she keep...
