  7. Help! What are you doing for income while in school?

    szeles23 replied to gina197880's topic in General Students

    szeles23 replied to Britmum's topic in General Students

    I would have to say my school is pretty liberal for illnesses. At the time I turned in my medical paperwork the advisor told me that when we become ill, as I'm sure we all will sometime, to take the...

  9. Will get ADN at a comm. college hinder your chance of getting a good job!?

    szeles23 replied to AmberLeigh000's topic in General Students

    A BSN might provide more opportunities for you but an ADN and a BSN all take the same nclex so its up to you. I would say do the ADN and then bridge to the BSN later, or even an

  20. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    szeles23 replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    I said listings in Hawaii at the hospitals, but what sense does it make to have actively listed jobs (mostly posted within the last 30 days) and be on a hiring freeze? Logically one would think they...

  21. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    szeles23 replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

  24. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    szeles23 replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY!! Especially with the aging population (baby boomers) reaching social security viability this year and in the next few years. Simple laws of supply and demand
