  14. Is it like this everywhere now?

    Long story short: Yes. This is nursing in 2019. No matter which way you look at it you are always wrong. Your friend got in trouble for not documenting belongings. Now, had he documented the...

  25. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    I make $37/hr as a nurse with 4.5 years experience and no, its not a travel gig. Does the furnace guy make that much all the time? I know a plumber who does on call on weekends and if he gets a call...
