Thanks for your input benrosy! I'm in process of applying for Texas Tech. I work in ambulatory surgery right now so the schedule is pretty relaxed. I'm very excited to see that there are other OR...
I was looking into applying for the fall 2019 FNP at TTUHSC. Like some of you that have posted on this thread I did my RN to BSN through Texas Tech and really enjoyed the program. Does anyone know if...
I am looking for advice from any GN nurses that had signed a 2 year residency contract and then breached it. I will owe a fee if I break the contract but I may have a job offer in a specialty I really...
