  1. How likely is it to get laid off?

    angel337 replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

    it really depends on where you live and what kind of nurse you are. if you live in a big city and have er, icu and floor experience the chances of you finding a job as a RN is much higher than a nurse...

    angel337 replied to xtin0712's topic in General Nursing

    angel337 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing
