7. Is anyone out there having such a hard time with WGU?

   XmasShopperRN replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors University

   nursehuffandpuff, what did you think about EWB orientation? I've done online classes before, but never an entire program. Hopefully the student portal, Task Stream, and all of the other WGU things are...

9. University of Maryland Medical Center

   XmasShopperRN replied to CBPsychNurse's topic in Maryland Nursing

   If I'm not mistaken, with 2 yrs of RN experience, you would be considered a Clinical Nurse II at a base of 28/hr I think. Depending on how the unit is structured, you could also be looking a shift...

    XmasShopperRN replied to catbox9's topic in Online Distance Learning
