Hi all, I need your advice! I am a new grad who is interested in Oncology nursing. So, I sent out my resume to a few hospitals one of which is a "cancer" hospital and the one i am most interested in working for. Of course, 4 weeks later one of the other hospitals that I applied to granted me an interview. I went on the interview and was offered a position. I accepted and was given a start date of 2/11/08 Now here is my issue... It turns out that, today, the hospital that I really want to work for, "cancer" hospital called me to schedule an interview. A friend of mine just started working there and personally referred me. I am scheduled for the interview next week. So, I am feeling that there is a good chance that I may be offered a position at the hospital of my choice. If that is the case I will need to resign from the hospital that hired me. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks, TRD:o

I am a nursing student at the College of New Rochelle in NY and my fellow students and I are conducting a community assessment of Scarsdale, NY. If you live or work in Scarsdale would you be willing to answer 5 questions for us? 1) What is your occupation? 2) What are the positive features or strengths of this community? 3) Can you think of any factors or problems that may affect the quality of life in this community? 4) Are there any major health problems among the residents of this community? 5) What are the needs of the people who live in this community? Thank you, TRD
