I'll have a BSN... but Okay, I have 1 year acute psych experience as an RN extern-- hope that transfers. Do you know anything about their incentives or benefit package?

I graduate in May, and I am also applying now. A local friend of mine told me that Stamford hospital is hiring with a 12,000$ sign-on bonus for BSN graduates! Anyone know how true this is?

So next semester in my BSN program is mental health and Research. I don't know what to expect, any helpful websites you guys know of? Anything that helped you to survive? My teacher gave a heads up that we need to be real familiar with APA format, an...
Thanks sooo much everyone! I will definitely take your advice :) I plan to go back to school for my DNP part time after a years experience Med Surg. So maybe I should familiarize myself with APA lol I'll keep it all in mind
