  9. Some advice, I hope it helps.

  15. I work in a float pool as a pct at my local hospital. I meet this really cute girl at my job who is also a pct on a specific floor. Is it a really a bad idea to ask her out if I don't know her that...

    I am a BSN student who is having an internal debate right now. I potentially will be working for two different hospital systems in the city I live near. One of them offers a 50 percent tuition...
  25. Which hospital to work for?

    This is exactly what I was thinking! Why wake up everyday to do a job that you do not want to do? I honestly didn't go into nursing just for the money. ****, I could go be a engineer and do better...
