    Have you tried Parkland Medical Center in Derry? Great place to work! I left Southern NH Medical because of poor staffing and horrible management. I have heard good things about Elliot. Why are you...

  7. "Well... it's not in the job description"

    AnnieNHRN replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, You so hit on what I have been feeling lately! What really makes a good nurse? It's not about how efficiently you can pass out meds or do a dressing change. It's about taking the time to listen...

    AnnieNHRN replied to menetopali's topic in Camp

    I worked at a boys camp in Maine for 7 1/2 weeks. My 3 boys went for free and I was paid $400 per week. As an med/surg nurse I normally earn over $1000 per week. But if you consider what child care...
