   Can totally relate to Yosemite, RN. I gave it 10 months. Just quit 2 weeks ago with no other job even lined up. Time invested divided by pay equals not even close to worth it.

2. Career Suicide??

   ED_Bound replied to ED_Bound's topic in General Nursing

   My original employer got rid of a lot of staff. Not many remain. I left because I knew I wasn't safe being staff that was there with way more years of service were sent packing. I see PRN openings and staffing agencies have contracts with them. It wa...

   ED_Bound replied to ED_Bound's topic in Safety

    My base pay as a new grad to the ED is $25.26 at Kimball. There is a $3 and a $5 differential but I haven't figured out what times those figures pick up yet. I think the $3 is after 330pm and the $5 may pick up after 1130pm...this is all an assumpt...
