   yes. At the $25,000 conference room table. Don't forget, the deck is stacked against the nurse. The new nurse will be $2.00 less per hour. At 2,080 annual hours, they made back the $25.00 background...

    Great advice. I may be vocal in here, but in nursing, I spoke with my feet in the direction of the door. Like I said, the only industry that has sustained itself with constant employee turnover is...

    I remember how confident I was as a new grad, with an ADN and degrees from other careers under my belt, as a second career RN. I had a whole lot of life experience before I was a nurse. This only hurt...

    panurse9999 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing
