    jobellestarr replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

  3. Facial coverings effective?

    jobellestarr replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And I think you’re missing the point of the public’s wearing masks. It’s so the virus is shed downward and not towards someone’s face when you’re speaking, coughing, etc. It’s for...

  4. toxic culture, materialism, and unionism

    jobellestarr replied to servantleader2020's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think the union has much to do with your complaint. And you may not be pro union until you have a complaint and need their help. They possibly could have helped you in this situation as a...

  8. Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    jobellestarr replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

  9. Quality of Life as a nurse by state

    jobellestarr replied to Megan8083's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if you want to be closer to your family and a lower cost of living, Arizona is nice. The wages are decent. I’ve made anywhere from 75,000 to 104,000. The cost of housing is going up but still...

    jobellestarr replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing
