    smart move or unprofessional?

    netglow replied to Southgoing Zax's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing: Not A Recession-Proof Career

    netglow replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    There are a large amount in the Chicago area as well. I'd say especially in affluent communities - I've been told it has to do with that "servitude" aspect, as well as the ability to slave people "who...

    netglow replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a nurse for 80 years, and I know nurses who've been nurses for 1000 years. I have to say that being paid to suck it up is something I have not tried yet. But I hear you can make some decent...

    netglow replied to NYCHikerRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, you are very lucky she cared enough to tell you. Take heed, listen when a nurse tells you what's up about nursing - it's gonna sound totally bat**** crazy. This is why lots of us keep our mouths...

    netglow replied to Jess_Missouri_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'd try to give a working two week notice, but, if your next job wants you ASAP and they won't postpone your hire date, then that is that. I consider the requests for one month's notice just plain...

    Wage garnishment related to student loans...has this happened to anyone?

    netglow replied to RNewbie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is going to get worse soon. State and Fed loans are big sources of income loss and both are going to crack down on recovery. Unfortunately the effects of the economy - no jobs, as well as those...

    netglow replied to RN1485's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
