   Apparently we aren't allowed any overtime or will be written up. So apparently I'm suppose to have everything done at end of day. So can't stay late to learn.

   Wow that's crazy. I really go into work having no idea what or how to do my job. I try asking other nurses for help and I think some are very new too and as clueless as I. It's a different specialty and definitely not like the hospital so has been ve...

12. Take a pay cut to go to office

    AJ1980 replied to AJ1980's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I definitely get OT at current job but it does get taxed to death too. The new job I know is salaried with end of year bonus. But still would be less than what I make. Again was looking at the other benefits and more time with my babies. I like m...
