  11. Any hospitals offer tuition re-payment ?

    happynewLPN replied to 7-7-2004's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I currently work in a hospital that provides a wonderful scholarship program that will pay tuition and fees. In return, you owe them six months per scholarship awarded. Not too

  12. study- cram or everynight

    happynewLPN replied to momx4's topic in General Students

  14. Any other Mott CC nurses out there?

    happynewLPN replied to happynewLPN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    happynewLPN replied to stretch thin's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I give all you 3rd shifters a ton of credit for the fall/winter months. I would hate going in to work in the dark (I know that's all the time), but then leaving and it's still just barely dawn,...

    happynewLPN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the Labor and Delivery unit of a local hospital, and we are required to work a certain number of holidays each year. I think it's rotational, but it's either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day....

    happynewLPN replied to stretch thin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what the answer is for you, but the dark sunglasses sound right. I work 2nd shift, but I do occasionally work 3rd, and I find it pretty easy to do, but then again, I'm not doing it for 12...
