    Moving to Pittsburgh

    Annachu512 replied to YAC111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Let me say, do NOT expect to make nearly what you would be making in NYC. Some hospitals in the Pitt area start out around 18 an hour. Most of the areas you want to get into do require some experience...

    How I passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions

    Annachu512 replied to thehopefulone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also passed in 75 questions. All I did was about 500 questions and a quick flip through a NCLEX review book. I heard from someone that if you start to get a lot of SATA, you are doing well. Several...
