    Was I out of place?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to rhkenji's topic in Emergency

    I totally agree with this. I like to consider myself a nice person but I probably would have responded a lot "meaner" than you did. You are only human and have the right to be frustrated. I don't...

    LPN School option worth considering?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to WCSU1987's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    80k a year as an RN or LPN?? No way under the sun will I believe an LPN can make 80K a year even with overtime. Unless they OWN their own lucrative business. I'm always skeptical when people say how...

    Seattle Children's Pay

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to conatnur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I agreed that you need to factor in parking costs when in Seattle. It really does make a difference! However, I think Seattle children's might offer free employee parking but it's off campus at an...

    I'm sorry, I see it now. I initially read "determined 2 ban nurse" which sounded a bit vindicitive to me. Again, I'm sorry,I didn't read it correctly the first
