Oct 28, 2008 I don't have any contacts in that area, and to be honest I'd be surprised if you found a legit "in" online (even though I love allnurses.com!!)I would suggest maybe reading some books about career/money management. I loved "What Color is your Parachute" and anything by Suze Orman. Both are great resources for how to negotiate for better pay, and Suze always has good advice for how to handle your money better.
