    Pay for parking and mandatory retirement contribution as part of position........

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Discounted (half price) parking at my last University hospital position was $6 a day. $25 or 50 a month is an uber bargain!! Mandatory participation in retirement plans has been the norm at every...

    I am done with healthcare

    Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?
