    Anna S, RN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

  11. Has anyone ever escaped?

    Anna S, RN replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds grand and powerful to say those things, but really, what would you suggest I/nurses do? I do not feel that I am oppressed as an individual. I feel that nurses are oppressed, as a whole. This...

    Anna S, RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

  18. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Anna S, RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you about the dog thing- and I just took a huge pay-cut to go to work for a non-profit. The job hasn't started yet, though. The turnover is very low. They only had an opening because one...

    Anna S, RN replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing
