    BellsRNBSN replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

  6. Hollywood's Portrayal of Male Nurses?

    BellsRNBSN replied to GiveMeFeedBack's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ...but I think in that same episode, sometime around when he says that, he adds that he's working as a nurse just to put himself through med school. Cuz a guy can't be "just" a nurse, he has to at...

  11. Finding a job... should I be worried?

    BellsRNBSN replied to css62's topic in General Students

    I share your worries! With the economy the way it is, I never thought that getting a job as a new-grad RN would be EASY, but I thought I'd at least be able to choose where I want to live and be able...
