    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

  14. Predatory New Grad Contracts

    myoglobin replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    One of the things that makes (or made) HCA "game changing" was that there contracts are not for a bonus. Rather they are "just for training". Imagine applying at Costco, Microsoft. or Amazon and being...
