  2. New grad in Colorado Springs

    New808BornRN replied to x28y31's topic in Colorado Nursing

  8. Relocating to Colorado from Texas

    New808BornRN replied to lbarr9027's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    New808BornRN replied to New808BornRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had my interview and I didn't get the job. But I'm okay with it. I really prepared for it, but eventually nerves took over and I became timid. However I'm using it as a learning experience and I've...

    New808BornRN replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    As a nurse they do want you to know the vital things about drug classes. Mostly what side effects to look out for. If patient is presenting with this should we hold this drug? That kind of stuff....

  16. The Future of Nursing Question

    New808BornRN replied to On_a_mission92's topic in General Students
