So here is the story in a nutshell. I am an experienced nurse. 1 year on the floor and 1.5 years in the ER. I acquired a large amount of debt becoming a nurse. I do not want to be a nurse anymore but I must continue in order to pay my debts. The ER i...
LadyFree28, I tried to PM but it says you are full. Here is what I sent you. I just wanted to thank you for your input re: my post about my dislike of nursing and wishing to return to the travel industry. I know that a "travel agent" is a dying breed...
