    JMRN09 replied to JewlzRN's topic in New Nurse

    They should be outraged about the fact that the hospitals are still short staffed but refuse to hire an untapped resource ie: new nurses...If they all made a stink about it maybe it would put more pressure on them to give us a chance. We are out the...

    JMRN09 replied to JMRN09's topic in Ambulatory

    I haven't seen any 'official' starting salaries on the hospital websites, but word-of-mouth has been anywhere from 25-28/hr.... The other thing I was thinking about was that this place is part of a large corporation (a franchise even?) so maybe they ...
