    Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    Lev replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds too me like your problem wasn't nursing, but your working conditions. Working 14-15 hours for a 12 hour shift is tough! You didn't get paid much for a new grad. Also, there are some people...

    Should I put in-progress FNP school on my resume?

    Lev replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think you should put it on your resume as an FNP program. You can put on "additional coursework" that you have taken such as advanced pathophysiology and advanced pharmacology, but not...
