9. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

   RN7776 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Hunt

   With some sort of fortitude, the "older nurses" would have gone back to school for MSN or beyond and be away from the bedside as a masters prepared nurse or better yet, AT the bedside. Not for nothing but, if I had a dime for every ADN nurse who ref...

    In case your unaware, there is a system called Medicaid - pays $50 billion in claims in NY and $20+ billion in California. Sure reimbursements may be cut and cut again, but what sense does it make for lets say, an ER to take no reimbursement? They wi...
