   MindiRN724 replied to MindiRN724's topic in Travel

   Thanks!! My original license (which is active) is from NJ, so I'm not worried about that. His job will transfer him to NJ if I get a job in NJ. So, in order to travel, the loop hole is that I need to get a job with an agency with an office in NJ. Hop...

   MindiRN724 replied to MindiRN724's topic in New Jersey

   I interviewed with the HR rep and then also with the nurse manager of the unit on the same day (basically two separate interviews). The interview with the nurse manager is the most important imo. I found out approximately two to three weeks later tha...

   MindiRN724 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'll be starting my first nursing job on a pulmonary unit in a few weeks. Should I get the Littmann Classic II or Littmann Cardiology III? I've heard they're both great stethoscopes, though one naturally costs more than the other. Any opinions?
