    Trhl09 replied to BrainsRCool's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Any 2016 ABSN grads out there want to comment on how the job hunting went after passing the NCLEX/during the school year? Should we be looking for jobs now with just a semester + a few weeks under our...

    Trhl09 replied to BrainsRCool's topic in Virginia Nursing
