  1. You really think nurses make alot of money? Let me give you something to think about

    Jingles39 replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

  2. You really think nurses make alot of money? Let me give you something to think about

    Jingles39 replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

  3. You really think nurses make alot of money? Let me give you something to think about

    Jingles39 replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it must just be my tiny little rural neck of the woods, but the $27/hr. the diploma nurses start off at at the local hospital is a small fortune compared to what most (men and women) make in...

    Jingles39 replied to My3GuysinVA's topic in Oncology

  7. Use of the title nurse

    Jingles39 replied to rn4life2009's topic in General Nursing

    Who's even saying that someone isn't proud?? My guess would be someone OTHER than an MA placed that ad. Perhaps a clueless office manager or doctor, who knows... As a former MA I get tired of this...

    Jingles39 replied to bsn_bound13's topic in General Nursing

  11. Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    Jingles39 replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

  13. Nurses, it's time to harden up

    Jingles39 replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Nursing Advertisements

    Jingles39 replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing
