    flyersfan88 replied to Laila26's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    flyersfan88 replied to Laila26's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I did the program when it was down the road in nearby Stratford. It is difficult but manageable. I had lots of great clinical experiences. There are great hospitals in the area, such as Cooper Trauma...

    flyersfan88 replied to Laila26's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  15. Steps in applying for NJ NCLEX

    flyersfan88 replied to Mimi90RN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  21. Looking for a job in CA

    flyersfan88 replied to mreznik1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If moving hours away to a rural area of the state is an option, I'm not sure what the difference is, but whatever floats your boat. Just don't expect anything to come into your lap without a...

  22. Looking for a job in CA

    flyersfan88 replied to mreznik1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Moving to CA did you no favors. From what I've learned on here, none of what you're trying to do is likely going to work, especially without your BSN. If I were you, I'd be looking to move

    flyersfan88 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
