  15. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    toronto_nurse replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At least fire fighters running into a burning building can anticipate, are equiped and prepared to handle the task. In nursing we face unpredictability such as infections, superbugs, violent...

  16. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    toronto_nurse replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Besides the taxes that get deducted, the membership we pay for CNO yearly, the liability insurance we pay to keep on practicing we don't make much. You will not be making the kind of money your...

  21. CPNRE - May 16, 2012

    toronto_nurse replied to binary's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams
