    TarheelGirlx3 posted a topic in General Nursing

  4. New Grad PRN in the ED

    TarheelGirlx3 replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked there I never saw less than 3-4 nurses in the ED, but of course it is dependent on Census. I would never be working alone. They are usually pretty nice to new grads and like to take...

  11. Does going to a "top-rated" nursing school really make a difference?

    TarheelGirlx3 replied to pantherfan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really dont think going to Emory for undergrad will make it any easier to get into graduate level there...unless they accept a certain number it usually doesnt matter. Price wise in state makes more...
