I have not had this happen but have heard of it. Why anyone would need a contract like "that" is beyond me in this day of Nurses being the marketable product that is sought after. I am sorry this has happened to you. I would recommend you seek an at...
Again, speak to some of the Hospitals in your area. I am a volunteer at one. I signed up, told them what I had in mind, they had me do "whatever" (mostly housekeeping). I called the volunteer office, after a brief stint on the floor helping out with ...
