    50caliber replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

  6. Germ fatigue...

    50caliber replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    50caliber replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    50caliber replied to hs2005's topic in General Nursing

    50caliber replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Never understood that. Newport beach is an extremely expensive place to live in and 29/hr is peanuts. I know of rural hospitals up in Northern CA that pay much much more than that for new grads and...
