I am a current student and have all of my classes for the term open now. I have completed 3 but could have worked on all 4 of them since I started (May 1) all at the same time, and submitted whatever I wanted for those 4 classes. As soon as I finish ...
I would definitely say something. This was not an unreasonable request. IMHO, if you just let people take advantage of you once(which I feel they are), they will continue to do so. At my hospital, we work every other holiday-no exceptions-and it swi...

We get paid twelve hours for both. They figure since it's the same staff working both of those weekends, it just works out. It so happens those days have not fallen on my weekend so it hasn't really affected me. (And if I ever got out after only 1...

My salary is not at all impressive-$17.52/HR with a PATHETIC, LOUSY .50/HR weekend differential-but I cannot complain about my benefits. Dental is $29/mo and almost everything is covered 100%. Also ANYTHING done at my hospital is covered 100% (for ...
Wow, it never occurred to me that one wouldn't have to have a cosigner. At my hospital we have to have heparin, insulin, and coumadin doublechecked, along with someone varifying any heparin drip or PCA pump that is set up. On the upside, I don't re...
