  3. How's the Summer going?

    NCmcMan replied to MrsMig's topic in Camp

    NCmcMan replied to joannalpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  10. ADN's being pushed out

    NCmcMan replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  15. There Are Places Where the Nursing Shortage Is Still Real... Let's List Some to Help!

    NCmcMan replied to WideOpenHeart's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This may be an obvious question, but can you make the same money in the rural area hospitals as you would in the big city ones? If not, on average, how much less would be a good estimate? I'm just...

  16. Perdiem as fulltime?

    NCmcMan replied to evil03midget's topic in Agency Nurses

    If they cancel your shifts, since your on contract, wouldn't they be obligated legally to still pay you? I'm not sure how it goes, but I would feel like since we have a contract, I'd want to be

  20. ADN's being pushed out

    NCmcMan replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My concern is that some nurses aren't trying to be business executives. Some folks just want to nurse people back to health and care for the patients. I can understand not being in management unless...

  21. ADN's being pushed out

    NCmcMan replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My gosh! another few years you'll have to be a PA just to take a temperature. It's sickening the way all of this is happening. It's like they are saying ADNs are incompetent. We are not

    NCmcMan replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
