5. Travel RN Compensation vs. Current non-travel Compensation

   losbozos replied to Rain_ray2000's topic in Travel

   But if the traveler is cancelled by the hospital for just one shift, should the nurse have to pay the agency? Not a sick call or cancelled contract. We don't get paid if we don't work; we shouldn't have to pay them.

9. Nursing Job Satisfaction

   losbozos replied to tangel's topic in Activism

   I have to say that mclennan said it succinctly & articulately. We are our own worst enemies. I could enumerate all the examples but I am just plain tired of doing that. We are not a cohesive, supportive group & go about finding a scapegoat ...

10. California nurses and medical marijuana

    losbozos replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in Pain

    Interesting topic. I've wondered this for awhile, now. Although I feel anyone w/ a THC medical card should be allowed to exercise their right to intake, I also feel no medical professional should go to work impaired. Rarely (& years ago) I have i...

    losbozos replied to L&DWendy's topic in Travel
