9. Should I quit? Idk what to do!

   Boston RN replied to vc01ca's topic in General Nursing

   I think you should take the pay cut and get your BSN while you are staying with your Mom (cheap rent haha). You never know, after graduation you may receive a promotion with a better salary - along with that sweet retirement. Go for it.
