    Lose Nursing Skills??

    Fun2 replied to trepinCT's topic in Operating Room

    If you're like every other nursing student, chances are, your "skill" level isn't high anyway when you finish. What are you loosing that you can't relearn if

    Fun2 replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Well, yes and no. I probably would have given it all up already. I really think I needed to do the family thing first, then school. Now that my girls are both in school (11 and 17 y/o), I can...

    Fun2 replied to Lylesmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Fun2 replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    Fun2 replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    I have already given my thoughts via email to someone in 3rd semester, but I'll put some thoughts here too. El Centro's program is NOT designed to help you pass. It seems they pride themselves on...

    Fun2 replied to oldladyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Fun2 replied to jla623's topic in Texas Nursing

    For the latest batch of interns, Baylor was $21.50, I believe. If Medical City (an HCA hospital) pays the same as the Arlington HCA facility, the pay there is $22.85. I haven't heard of any that offer...
