2. What's with this Tax Advantage?

   NurseWeasel replied to aberrn's topic in Travel

   From the little I understand about this, the difference between TA and not doing TA is whether or not you claim deductions for your travel expenses (etc) on your taxes at the end of the year. You...

   NurseWeasel replied to introspectiveRN's topic in General Nursing

   At least one of the hospitals in Boise, ID uses it. I hate it. I always overthink everything. Must... learn... to stop overthinking!!!! New mantra:

    Ahhh, HERE is this thread. I was scoring in the 60%-70% range on the sample tests. Our school did the Mosby faux test and I got "94% probability of passing" on that one. But all the online and at...
