    As mentioned previously, it can. Think it's situation-dependent. My thoughts are that, generally, the more "traditional" the nurse's situation, the more it might. By that term, I mean younger age,...

    Did a Magnet attract you?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Nursing Career

    Not sure any generalities apply. One of our large, prestigious local magnets, pays new RNs significantly less than smaller non-magnet facilities. Suggest we do head-to-head comparisons before deciding...

    Havin' A Party! replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Thinking about CLNC

    Havin' A Party! replied to LPatton's topic in Legal
