  9. Living in NJ working in NYC, is it worth it?

    Epidural replied to ftrrn13's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  13. PA BON nightmare

    Epidural replied to zephyr9's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Can't they just confirm your licensure through Nursys.com ? I thought every BON used this site for verification. Apparently not. Just another reason for all of the states to join the NLC. Red tape...

    Epidural replied to MinasMOM's topic in General Nursing

    Epidural replied to Nurse David's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    Can't really figure this one out. I have heard from many reputable sources that the high pay that travel nurses got during the CV crisis was federally subsidized. Once the "health emergency" status...

  24. Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    Epidural replied to chare's topic in Nursing News
