  16. About paying off student loans

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to assume that all nurses are paid at least $42 per hour. Many experienced nurses make less, if they can find jobs. In 2012, about half of new grad nurses in CA were still looking for their...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing
