    NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

    Comfortable living?

    I can put money away into retirement & have a car payment. A small $200/mo car payment isn't going to ruin my retirement. People are going to have monthly payments of some sort. I don't know very...

    1st LPN job in a prison. Need advice

    Corrections is definitely not for everyone. But there will be rude & toxic people no matter what job you go to, that won't change. You have not been at that job long enough to develop a routine,...

    I Need A Nurse To Interview!!

    Really? NETY? She *should* go in person, for many reasons listed. If a student won't do the assignment, why should we? It's not hard to talk to a nurse in person. Once more, she can't PM because she...
