Hello fellow nurses, I have interviews with Sanford for both the Medical Specialty Unit and the Cardiac Progressive Care Unit. I would love some input from you regarding what a typical day in each unit is like. What is the patient to nurse ratio, wh...

Hi, I will be moving to Fargo within the next month and wanted to ask for help finding an apartment. What properties near Sanford Hospital would you recommend for a single guy? Nice amenities, things to do , etc. Thank you for your time, Eru

Was reading this article today and even though is not about nursing, it related greatly in how can a simple post in a social media site destroy your life and career. A great read to remember that the internet is a force to be careful with. http://mob...

If it has 0% interest then the loan is virtually interest free. You would only had to repay the amount of the principal ( what you originally borrowed).

A stethoscope is always a must, as well as scrubs from your program. I would suggest also to get some flashcards and well whatever textbooks your school uses. Next I would look for some practice questions books for your classes such as the q&a re...

Just try... The worse you will hear is a no.

Youll get an email if you get accepted.. You will not be rejected until you get an email saying so. Sometimes they send up to 3 round of acceptance emails.

Give them a call and explain what happened. They may be willing to give you another chance. You will never know unless you try. Good luck!

Thank you... Looking forward to being a part of the team. I may need a tour of the new city if anyone is willing lol [emoji85]

What the heck does being in Florida has to do with anything? This is one of the biggest healthcare markets in the country. You are making no sense, and the communist comment was a serious one, read up on the advance of modern communism on Latin Ameri...
