  1. Queens Hiring Process-Credit Check

    Slobgob replied to mimilaroo's topic in General Nursing

    Slobgob replied to sunset1986's topic in General Nursing

    "Get paid what you are worth and accept nothing less." Easy to say when you were making $60/hr last year, and they were making $8/hr and now have loans to pay off...

  8. PAY RATE ISSUE

    Slobgob replied to sunset1986's topic in General Nursing
