2. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

   Riawahine replied to RNGARCIA's topic in Medical-Surgical

   Just because they offer you the lower rate doesn't mean you have to accept it. Try to negotiate for a higher rate. At least $30/hr. I say go for the M/S position. Good

    Riawahine replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing
