GO isn't the problem? If it gets really bad, hire an attorney? Do you know how much an attorney costs and what a major pain that is? GO creates a system which allows managers to blacklist people and...
Yep ... I'm not even going to think about real estate until the market crashes and crashes big. It's coming ... just a question of time. You usually have to wait a couple of years to figure out where...
Gay or not ... Nothing worse than ... yes ... that wonderful time of the month and you've got to wear whites to clinicals on, of course ... the worst possible day. And you're sweating bullets the...
I have some debt from school also but, it's only costing me 4 percent. So, instead of paying it off early, I'm putting more money into my tax deferred retirement account. Why? Because once I start...
I just attended a seminar on retirement planning and this is what they said: You need to plan on having at least 80 percent of your income for retirement. If you think you're going to be spending a...
Yep ... same thing here. Although I did notice that some of the investors did put a lot of improvements into some of the properties they bought. Others didn't do anything. Whether they'll actually get...
Yeah ... a lot of inventory is building up in my neck of the woods also. Lots of investors who just bought houses a year or two ago are putting them up for sale. There's also so much new construction...

I don't have much of a legal background so, take this with a grain of salt. But, from what I understand, it's not neccessarily that they can't give you a bad reference, it's just that a lot of...

Question: I notice that under FCRA, they're supposed to send you a notice of "adverse action" if they don't hire you because of these reports. Has anyone who's had issues with Group One gotten a...

True ... but I gotta say that ever since I've been on this board, I'm constantly amazed at the number of nursing horror stories come out of Texas. After awhile, you do start to wonder what's going on...

Yeah ... I noticed that on their website also. They DO track salaries ... I guess there might be something to those wage fixing lawsuits afterall. The more you learn about this, the worse it gets....
Does anybody know what California's overtime tax rate is? I tried to do a few google searches on this but couldn't find much. I keep hearing that working one extra shift per week is beneficial but...
Don't know what average new grad pay is in Raleigh but, average RN pay across the board is $24-$25 an hour. http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_39580.htm#b29-0000
I didn't say that. Maybe somebody else did, but I didn't. Sure, not everybody is going to qualify for everything ... that's the nature of financial aid. You've got to apply for a bunch of stuff, and a...
It's not a myth. I don't know where you guys get the idea that there's no financial aid for minorities. There's lots of money to help minorities with nursing education. If they didn't get any money,...
I used to live in SF but, not anymore. I'm in southern California now. I paid about $3.10 for gas last week. There's all kinds of ways to look at these things. SF is incredibly expensive but, it's SF...
Yeah ... definitely. Just my experience but, the hospitals that are offering bonuses are also the worst places to work. And, of course, they have lower pay also. I personally prefer better pay and...
A half acre lot in San Francisco? You'd be lucky to get a backyard unless you have millions of dollars. The average cost of a house in SF is ... $767,000. http://www.dqnews.com/RRBay0606.shtm...
Well, in California I would definitely not considered a minority, whether I went to a predominantly black university or not. They ask specifically on the applications what your ethnicity is, not...

Oh ... I see ... it's on page 20. I didn't realize that RN's got the same federal benefits as law enforcement. I'm in California and here, state law enforcement and corrections officers get different...
Keep in mind that I didn't say new grads couldn't make that much ... I said it probably wasn't typical. I have found one job that pays a lot more than what I could get pretty much anywhere else as a...
