    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    Mavrick replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mavrick replied to alaskaman's topic in General Nursing

    Heard of what? 1) Being expected to work the hours you are being paid for? My time clock will round my hours to 1930 if I clock out at 1923, so I AM being paid until 1930. You should stay. 2) If you...
