    MDC Fall 2011 - PART TIME Program

    fem replied to fem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Faith, I think it is a 3+ hour exam? Not 100% sure. I THINK it wants to test our learning styles, so advisors can advise us (how to learn?) One of my classmates is a 1st year RN student at MDC, she...

    Do you do venipunctures as a nurse?

    fem replied to CassB's topic in General Nursing

    Rob, Yes, people skills are useful no matter what you are doing in life. I'm sure I'm not an expert at that either. I notice you do RESEARCH. How did you get into that? It certainly appeals to me....

    MDC Fall 2011 - PART TIME Program

    fem replied to fem's topic in Florida Nursing

    NRSGRL, Sorry my mistake... I'm sure hoping everything is near the Medical Center Campus which is already a hike for me. I would consider Homestead location too far. I'm not sure why I assume it is...

    fem replied to 4hams's topic in Travel

    Hi, thanks to those who have experience in travel RN work. I, too, was curious of the pay. I already knew that travel RN's can get a good bit more money than those who don't travel. What I don't know...
