   Nurse216 replied to lauraross1's topic in Colorado Nursing

   Nurse216 replied to katy89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Nurse216 replied to mikkie1317's topic in Colorado Nursing

   There was a push back in the early 2000's by a group of nurses from St. A's, apparently that never worked. We need a union. I have 2 years of experience and I'm only making $25.00/hr. For the stress,...
