    Adding clinicals to a resume

    elijahvegas replied to shall62's topic in General Students

    Adding clinicals to a resume

    elijahvegas replied to shall62's topic in General Students

    Simply put, any confusion can be cleared up during an interview that I probably scored for the very reason that I was vague and oversold my resume. Calling a spade a spade, we all look the same on...

    Can I lose my license???

    elijahvegas replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism
