Ok, I have just 3 Fridays left to work, 2 weekends and a total of 24 days until I am retired. My wife and I are buying a house in Nicaragua to be near her family when it isn't warm here (Wisconsin)....
There's some strange mentality in Nursing that says we have to abuse our newbies. I have observed this for the 40 years I've been in Nursing. And I'll admit that I've probably done some of it too,...
Wisconsin is also one of the compact states. My license says multistate not Wisconsin. The understanding is that if I were to move to, say Texas, I would practice on this license until time to renew...
