  7. I could really use some advice.

    Sylv replied to RN mom of 2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about not going to work retail, you could work one 8 hour shift and clear more than working 40 hours at a minimun wage retail job. Once you get your feet wet again, you could always work per...

  10. Where's my thank-you card?

    Sylv replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. How often do you take a break?

    Sylv replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

  16. How do you handle bills without direct deposit?

    Sylv replied to SassyRN2469's topic in Travel

    I think I would mail my check back to my bank for deposit rather than going through the hassle of changing banks and setting up all those direct withdrawals again. Do you have a cushion, maybe 2 to 4...
