  1. what is a job as PRN? how do you become one?

    schnookimz replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Don't know how I feel about this interview...

    schnookimz replied to caseyuptonurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    schnookimz replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

  15. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    schnookimz replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing
