  2. Horrible Professor!

    Organic chemistry and bio-chemistry were a pre-requisite for my California nursing school. You are a bit arrogant aren't
  3. I have an interview tomorrow.

    I would wear a suit or buisness casual, if you have it. Fingers crossed for you!

    Hey guys! I am coming from CA and am also looking into how to get all my stuff to Nashville. I have started looking into cross-country moving companies and they are terribly expensive. Any advice or...

    I am from the Bay Area and I graduated from San Jose State University in May. Ya, I have a ton to figure out. So much to look into! But a great set of 'worries', here is to an adventure

    I just got an offer for the burn track, which used to be part of the critical care. Maybe they are next to each
  16. I am from California, so I am assuming that is why they opted for the phone interview. Med-surg is not my first choice. I think I may have let that show a bit in the interview, because I never got a...

  22. Ya, they must have extra help. My phone interview is next Thursday at 2. Best of luck to you!
  23. I am comming from California were the maximum ratio is 1:4, so perhaps I am a bit spoiled by that ratio but, I can't imagine 1:8 in acute care being truly
  24. Hello everyone! I have a phone interview next week for acute care/med-surg. Does anyone have any advice for a phone interview? Also, for those already employed at Scott & White, can you tell me...
