  2. 401k's IRA's and retirement

    Thanks Ned, I was hoping you would comment since I have seen you mention retirement accounts passingly before. I think I get what you are saying that I should do a traditional IRA over a Roth and...
  3. 401k's IRA's and retirement

    Thanks for the responses so far. lig, I am going to take the company 401k and their match. Like you said it's better than doing nothing. Guy in Babyland, Roth would make sense I think since I am...
  4. Cali travel pay

    Argo, how are you not dealing with housing?? The reason I ask is thought I remember you saying somewhere that you were in an RV? But I could be mistaking you with someone else? I am doing the RV...
  5. Cali travel pay

    Depending on where you are at in Cali, housing could eat a pretty good chunk of that money. Something to
  6. Thinking about my next assignment and would like to go someplace that respects nurses who like to take an actual lunch break. Scarfing down food at my workstation and being interrupted constantly is...
  7. States that are friendly to travelers who want a lunch break

    Hey Ned, it's a 13 week contract, 4 weeks done so far. I can relate when you said " it's a shame what we do to ourselves". I ask to take a measly 30 min. lunch break in a stressful, overworked, and...
  8. States that are friendly to travelers who want a lunch break

    I agree with this, but I am asking my coworkers whom I have to spend 40 hours with every week. I don't feel I should have to ask, and I think it sounds stupid asking "hey mind if I take my 30 min....
  9. States that are friendly to travelers who want a lunch break

    Ned, I am not delaying travel, I am currently on assignment, just trying to decide on where to go next. I am pretty open to a lot of places. I am sure I will end up working in CA at some point in my...

  15. Health Care is a right

    So? I never said people with insurance will never die. You seem very delusional because no where in my posts have I indicated anything close. I just stated that based on current research, your chances...
  16. Health Care is a right

    It would also show how immoral you are. At least as nurse. You certainly can not say you are a patient advocate since the only thing you seem to be advocating is your checkbook. Gee, did not know...
  17. Health Care is a right

    http://www.harvardscience.harvard.edu/medicine-health/articles/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-lack-health-coverageNEWSFLASH**** Not much. So why not tell them to go home when they...
  18. Health Care is a right

    I find it hard that somebody could call themselves a nurse and not support access to quality medical care. In this country 45,000 people die a year because of a lack of health insurance. Also in this...
