    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    jpeters84 replied to XYnurse2B's topic in General Students

    jpeters84 replied to nina9's topic in General Students

    I agree with NRSKarenRN, this hiring freeze is a direct result of the bad economy. When our economy starts to pick up hospitals will start hiring again. I wouldn't look for much of a change for...
