    WGU RN to BSN

    2BS Nurse replied to Flightmed123's topic in School, College Programs

    Did I do the right thing in this code situation?

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse162's topic in General Nursing

    2BS Nurse replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    Clinic UC nurse here... yes that sounds like a typical day! And for the "new grad" comment, the clinics are constantly short-staffed just like the hospitals. Moving to the clinic requires a salary...

    2BS Nurse replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are plenty of RN jobs out there. Like "morbidlycurious" mentioned, your first job may not be your job of choice. In my area, signing bonuses and recruiting abound for new grads. You will save...
