   We don't make the money that we should because we allow ourselves to be underpaid, undervalued and in many cases abused. Sorry but thats a fact. Unfortunately Unions are not the answer either.

3. Not sure if I want to be a nurse

   tenexe replied to kekaki's topic in General Nursing

   To begin with you will not get compensated adequately for the skills that you inevitably bring to the table. You will have to compete with others in a market that is not as favorable to nurses as they try to make it sound. In addition you will most...

9. Pain is NOT subjective

   tenexe replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in Pain

   To begin with only the complaint of pain is subjective. There are however very objective signs of pain that can be observed. If your telling me your pain is 8/10 (being 10 is the worse pain you've ever had in your life) and your sitting calmly read...

    A lot of these are scams that work out for the benefit of the agency more so than for you. As a traveler you are only entitled to this benefit if you have a permanent tax home. If you do then read on. There are 2 ways that they will do this. one...

15. traumatized by vermin

    tenexe replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona
