    Have you ever given a ride to and from work for your colleagues?

    hppygr8ful replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I agree if this has become a regular thing then you need to be compensated. Even if it's just a token amount say $5 a week to help with gas.

    It would remain to be seen how BON's act should Covid come under some semblance of control and we return to some semblance of normal. Also there is a push to remove marijuana as a schedule 1 which...
