    MedSurgeMess replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but many of the 2.5 million jobs require 2-5 yrs experience. This isn't helping the tons of new grads being pumped out each semester. I don't know about how the demand will be either. It...

    MedSurgeMess replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    MedSurgeMess replied to cargalrn's topic in General Nursing

    MedSurgeMess replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Indiana has the requirement of BSN for clinicals for ASN, and LPN, and a MSN is required for all didactice and BSN clinicals. PhD is required for anything above, as I understand. I teach clinicals...

  21. Core Staffing

    MedSurgeMess replied to SammyW0406's topic in General Nursing

  22. Loan Repayment

    MedSurgeMess replied to ohmylove's topic in General Nursing

  23. Nurses Christmas Party

    MedSurgeMess replied to okienurse66's topic in General Nursing
