    Multiple jobs???

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseBetty_RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Grand jury duty summons

    xoemmylouox replied to Collsherm's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure if you re-read my post you will see that I never referenced you. So perhaps you read my post wrong? Maybe you feel a bit guilty? I don't know, but again I never mentioned any names, and in...

    Grand jury duty summons

    xoemmylouox replied to Collsherm's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP- Talk to your employer and see what happens. MOST work around it and MANY employers pay the difference. For those who are too important to be a juror.. I understand that people feel that it...

    When A Nurse Needs A Doctor.....

    xoemmylouox replied to nurse2211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
