1. Nurses with Hepatitis

   crickett85 replied to twinklebella's topic in Disabilities

   It is ignorant and predjudiced to state that it is unlikely that you will contract hepatitis c if you are in a long term monogamous relationship. Wynona Judd's mother was a nurse and she contracted it from a dirty needle stick. I contracted hep c fro...

   You must have been the nurse who took an admission up while the receiving nurse was coding the V-Tach she'd already tried to tell you about. It's a shame when we can't just drop the code long enough to take your admission off your hands.

3. The War with the Floors

7. Which has a highest pay and Free housing FASTAFF, OA or TRUSTAFF

   crickett85 replied to ORnurse97's topic in Travel

   Fastaff does provide free housing but it is NOT PRIVATE. Additionally, yes they do provide "scab" staffing for union busting activities. I could not possibly cross a picket line of nurses fighting for the rights of all nurses and patients. The fact t...
