haha, I like it!

i am fortunate enough not to worry about snow, but i do not see the benefit to risking my life and becoming a potential pt. this would count as an act of god and i think you should try your best but i would not risk my life for any amount of money. ...

It seems only the older less fit nurses are the ones really complaining about what the younger nurses are wearing. It probably sounded like this when Nurses first decided to get rid of the nursing cap and gowns and go to pants. I feel people do not...

forget the nursing, most people talk about how much they like nursing and helping people (bs) but five minutes later they are complaining about their job, the pay, and the management. i would encourage you to look into becoming a pharm d. they are ...

first off, gts im not sure who you are talking to? if it is me i never said anything bad about police or fire fighters. i have buddies who are both the above and they even acknowledge they have a sweet deal. ask a officer or a fireman on a person...

so anyone doing the independent contractor route is it worth it? any headaches factoring in personal health insurance etc. im really interested.

oh ps as far as management goes, its not what you know its who you know!

first great job to all the women that have held down the fort. as a whole i have been welcomed to any hospital i have been to although there are one or two old timers that are just anti male and carry that attitude with all men on the unit. nursing...
