   CandyGyrl replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan

   TiffanyRN,Yes the pay is good but it is contingent so it is typical that you would receive higher pay due to no benefits. It's funny you should mention the admissions coordinator because I applied for that as well. (nice sign on bonus) they asked if ...

    A BSN is a necessity these days so make your choice according to how well it fits your life. But as far as reputation employers regard UDM highly.

11. Was I being hit on... or was it a genuine compliment?

    CandyGyrl replied to CandyGyrl's topic in New Nurse

    My Scorpio intuition tells me that it was 50/50. The compliment was a vehicle to open up the door for a longer conversation which he did get. Like 20-25 min that I don't have time for. You know how easy it is to get behind as it is but I didn't want ...
