    Career Change

    meanmaryjean replied to EleanorInOhio's topic in Nursing Career

    So now, I want to make the jump back into acute care nursing but I just can not fathom bedside nursing. Acute care IS bedside nursing. I get the feeling that you are under the impression that you...

    Being paid out of pocket?

    meanmaryjean replied to levaorel's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's nothing reportable. They can certainly pay a caregiver out of pocket if they want to. What you DO need to be careful of is if you agreed to non-compete while you were working for the agency....

    Big Trouble

    meanmaryjean replied to Bentlysnurse's topic in MICU, SICU
