  1. Nursing Homes/Rehab (baby nurse here)

    paRN12 replied to uiwhi's topic in General Nursing

    I moved out here as a new BSN, RN as well 3 years ago and my husband is also in the military. Since I didn't have any acute care experience, my only option was to get a nursing home job. Honestly, I...

    paRN12 replied to NurseO_8's topic in General Nursing

  6. Schofield Barracks, HI

    paRN12 replied to KaylaNelson07's topic in Government, Military

  14. Graduating in May

    paRN12 replied to SuchanSuch's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    paRN12 replied to owlRN01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
