    The community college is the cheapest. Yes, some may or may not have a waiting lists but for me its better to wait sixmonth to a year to go to school for $3k than to go to school right away for 15-40k. Yes. Those are real private nursing school price...

  12. Why would an agency hire you, and then not give you work?

    I registered with several agencies that have Never Provided me with work. Like 20 months ago. However I always had a full time job and agency work was always per diem. My belief is that they want to be overstaffed rather than understaffed. Heaven for...

  19. Suggestions plz about Transition from RN to PA

    Why be a PA when you can be an NP. They can work independently from a MD and they make around the same amount of money and get even more respect that a PA.
