    WyomingRN replied to hotwolfgal's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  10. Self-Employment

    WyomingRN replied to raduda's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    First, all of our contracts are for one year. To heck with doing a contract every time one is called. If I did that, I'd be doing 3-4 contracts a week. Once a year is just fine. Several months ago...

  16. If you had the money......

    WyomingRN replied to Toby's mum's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I agree with nightngale in that for a nurse to become self employed, it does not take a huge amount of $$. It does take fore thought and a willingness to take that step. I think the problem with most...

  23. Layoffs tomorrow!

    WyomingRN replied to RNKitty's topic in General Nursing

  25. What unions?

    WyomingRN replied to RN4NICU's topic in General Nursing

    From my reading of the news, it was the Calif. legislature that passed the law; not the union. Nurses, just like anyone else can start or join a PAC. Banning together as a PAC to push such...
