  1. On Call

    cjmjmom replied to NurseWillow's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you work in a LTC facility, right? Not sure if this helps but I work in a hospital (surgery/PACU) and our call rotates. For the hours I am on-call and at home I make $3.00. When I am...

  2. Why did I ever go into Nursing?

    cjmjmom replied to chocolate123's topic in Geriatric, LTC
