    Nunya replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, follow the money. On Glass Door RNs are paid $31/hour, LPNs $16. CNAs and Patient Care Techs $10-11. Not that I think they'll hire more LPNs, CNAs or PCTs but RNs are way more expensive. I'll...

    Nunya replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    At one of my jobs (7p-7a) they would occasionally come around at 5 or 6 am and ask if we could stay till 11am. If I had to work that night I'd ask could I come in at 11pm? The answer was always no,...
