5. Changing to a non-nursing career?

   2011RN replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired

    You would think that if we had universal healthcare enacted that it would increase the need for all medical staff everywhere. The influx of the newly insured would place demands on the healthcare system and more staff would be needed to handle that i...

13. Another reason unions suck!

    2011RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Union

    Expecting reasonable pay or pay increases is not looking for a hand out. Expecting your tax dollars to go towards things that benefit you and your community instead of corporate giants is not looking for a hand out. Fact is you can work your bum off ...
