  7. Why are Nurses in MD not organized labor wise?

    db2xs replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

  12. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    db2xs replied to nautica193's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you applied for the BSN/MSN combined program, they can feasibly accept you for the BSN portion only and not accept you for the MSN. Congrats on the BSN acceptance! Now it's all about waiting for...

    db2xs replied to db2xs's topic in California Nursing

    Hey Zippy. What is this nursing recruiter's Twitter name? Also, I just checked the UCSD website and it still says, "NEW GRAD positions will be posted Feb 4-10." Should I assume they haven't updated...

  25. Only hospital jobs?

    db2xs replied to db2xs's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure if you thought I was telling you to look outside of the hospital; rather, I was stating that everyone is telling me that I "need" to work in a hospital to be considered a "real" nurse....
