   1. Do you call up the patients and tell them, "OK, I have an 8 a.m. opening," and they say "OK," or does the agency line up your appointments? 2. What about if you need directions in going to someone's house? Do you ask the person you're seeing ...

    Hear hear JeanBean! I'm with you! Good point about making that anywhere else with an associate's degree! I, too, have a BS degree in something other than nursing and was topped out in "a great job" at $11.50 per hour. I will be living large (at least...
