I have applied to the RN to MSN program in psych at the local university and have been eagerly awaiting to hear of my acceptance. My phone rang at work last Tuesday, and I received a surprise phone...
I'm sorry to hear that. I've been reassured by those I've networked with that there are plenty of psych NP jobs out there. I don't think programs are being cut because there isn't a need. I think they...
I have a Treo 750p and love it. I've always had Palm products and haven't come up with a good reason to switch. I used to have separate PDA, phone and pager, which drove me nuts. I was so happy when I...
