    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. Those houses are still standing though. Nowadays many new homes are built with many corners cut, and pvc pipes that rupture or not connected correctly, etc. The costs are astounding in...

    It's not about strikes, but as klone mentioned, when you are filled with a sense of dread arriving to work on a mostly daily basis, it's time to plan a

    I didn't suggest otherwise. I did state that not all of us want to invest as you do. That's why there's so many options out there. And none are incorrect, if the investor goes in eyes wide open. I'm...
