Also, keep in mind that most childcare facilities have after school programs where they will pick your child up from school, so you can keep both children in the same facility. You may also qualify for a subsidy program depending on your income. Chil...
12 hour shifts are awesome in a two parent household, because it can almost eliminate the need for child care. If one parent works M-F and the other works 12 hour weekend nights (like so many of my co-workers with children), you rarely need to arrang...
Everything is perception. I'm sure you have every good intention and that many of your patients are able to take the feedback and recommendations positively. We also tend to be a little thick-skined as nurses, so certain things don't bother us the wa...
