  13. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    Agnus replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    First off I am a bedside nurse. I would prefer the person you describe to be in management. They do not belong at the bedside. Paying dues implies that it is less desirable than the management...
