  1. Horror stories about RPN program...Yikes!!!

    Ginger80 replied to MC-Jo's topic in International Nursing

  2. Exposure to Medications

    Ginger80 replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Ginger80 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad and need advice! I was offered jobs with the 2 places I did my pre-grad placements with, and I accepted, as they are both part-time, and I need money pretty badly. Plus, I really...
