    RN left our school; Now what?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    School Nursing

    MrNurse(x2) replied to taylorstevenson's topic in School

    I wanted to keep my sons in their private school when my wife was out of work. There was no nurse and I approached them with a work for tuition proposal. It was a great challenge to develop the...

    Less Pay?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Totally depends on your state financially. The closer commute, the ability to match schedules with your daughter may be worth more than the equivalent of $4.50/ hour. I took a $20/hr pay cut and it...

    Two different kinds of parents...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to momto5RN's topic in School
