  8. Peripheral Sticks

    krzysiu posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    krzysiu replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Upper 40s are the norm for ICU nights. Some places such as U of I hit upper 50s for weekend night programs, but can be VERY clickish. People dont like you messing with their hours at that pay rate....
