    L&D positions for new grads?

    jenrninmi replied to Woodenpug's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Michigan wages

    jenrninmi replied to jenni82104's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe it's $1.50 where I work too. Pretty pathetic. But, there's no way I'd sit at home waiting for them to call me. They have my cell phone number. I carry my things with me just in
