Two of my patients died within 4 hours of each other. The second one was of the unit for a procedure, where they died. This is was a hit to my soul. I decided I needed to take a mental health day. Im just wondering if anyone thinks that was a horri...
I make 22-23 an hour. If you pick up an extra shift they will pay 200 extra dollars plus time and a half. That's more then they pay in my home state. However, everything is inflated here because of the oil fields. I'm just keeping my head down, and...

Oh my goodness!! I had a phone interview today she asked my weakness, I told her I interupt people a lot (it's true). HAHA. At the end of the interview I told her I sucked at interviews, but I'm a wonderful employee. I'll let you all know if I got ...
