    There is no nursing union. Before I was terminated I thought about calling some unions and seeing if they would come in and try to unionize us. Maybe if I had done that the management of the LTC...

    What city are you in that you will be going to Everest? I am still on the fence as to whether I go part time or full time. Even though I hate my current job it is still money to live

    No matter what you are hearing, there are no jobs in MI, not even decent nursing jobs. I am finding that it is not the license but who you know in the industry that will get you the job. Good luck...
