   Wow Kooky Korky did you hit the nail on the head about HR departments. I also agree with ESME 12, soon people will be getting hiring scores like credit scores. This entire employment / hiring business is getting more Orwellian daily. But always rem...

   The volunteer nursing program filled the hospitals with no cost labor. Wage paying hiring programs were stopped because of volunteer nursing programs. Now they are going to have to pay for what they were getting for free for so many years. Young nur...

14. Do you work at Providence Spokane, Everett, or Olympia?

    PapaPhil replied to JimZ's topic in Washington

    We stopped placing nurses at Providence Hospitals especially in Washington state. For a recruiter to walk away from a paying client, they have to be pretty bad. We just got tired of hearing the horrible feedback from the nurses, therapists and med te...
