I've read over and over on this forum what everyone hates about their ER. My question is; Do you like where you work and why? What things make it a good or great place to work?
You should consider the Indian health service. They will forgive up to 40,000 for 2 years service at high needs areas. I worked in Alaska for 2 years, and had 36,000 in loans forgiven. They also pay any taxes the additional income will produce. ...

I was a teacher for 9 years before becoming a nurse, I loved teaching, but wanted to be a nurse also so I went for it. As I miss teaching a lot, I really love having students. Also love precepting people new to the unit.
Wow, saw the same interview, and that's not how I took the comment at all. First let me say that I'm not a big Faith Hill fan, but the tv was on while I was suring the net and I listened while working on other things. What I got from the comment was...
