    How to annoy irritating Drs.

    Julius Seizure replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    Student Nurse negotiating on pay after graduation.

    Julius Seizure replied to V4LGBO's topic in General Students

    I disagree that it is "wrong" to suggest that you would like a slightly higher pay rate when you have been working there already as a student nurse/nurse extern. Now, they very likely will say no -...

    Potential problem/issue

    Julius Seizure replied to Djfrank70's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    Julius Seizure replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Agency; time worked vs time paid?

    Julius Seizure replied to inaniel88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you sign it, you are agreeing that they worked those hours. Which is a lie. I wouldn't be willing to sign it, they would have to find somebody else to lie for them. And why are they coming in so...
