   I can certainly sympathize with your frustration. Although I don't have your healthcare experience, I've also had trouble finding a job thus far. What I've done is take a step back and check all my...

   Mariachi replied to tj4616's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   I went into a BSN program in my early 30's with a young family no problem. There were a couple other guys in their 40's and 50's. In the hospital there's always the occasional patient who prefers not...

8. Great Apps for Great Nurses

   Mariachi replied to Brian's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

   Good apps. I'm not a fan of Nursing Central though. We use it for nursing school. It does a good basic job, but Tabers, Davis, and some of the other resources can be lacking at times. Plus you need to...
