It took me three months to get the job I have now when we moved to El Paso. I've gotten so tired of all the test you take when you apply for a nursing job. My husband is a business major and I actually let him answer the questions for the "what you...
Well, it's now March and this road I started back in 2006 has almost reached it's end.....I sit here and can not believe that in 54 days I will have completed my classes and should be a GN. I look back at all the tears, sweat, sleepless nights of wo...

When you pass your boards and get your license it doesn't state where you went to college.....you just become LVN, RN, BSN and MSN......I stated before I wouldn't pay extra for a certain college. Right now my husband and I are both in college and I ...
The one I work for is not the largest but it is kinda big and I have crappy insurance to begin with and they are claim that the economy is making them do all of the cuts backs......
I agree totally with "It's me" our system is broken.....but I don't really feel that government based system is the way to go either....look at the country right now. What is the answer? How do we fix this? Did anyone on the campaign trail have any...
So the long and short of it is that I am taking better care of my body and will hope that I don't end up in the ER. I am stoping the bills before they get higher. My primary care doctor is the one that refered me to the GI doctor and I can not retu...
That is just the hospital part. I did pay the doctor for the test which was $179. But is I pay the $270 and make payments for the rest.... I will have no insurance to return to the doctor for the follow up. And if God forbid I need more tests.....I w...
