They do everything they can to pay on time and in full.

How many times have you been out in public when someone asks you what you do and you respond, “I’m a nurse.” Bland. Generic. Nondescript.

I attended a dear friend’s viewing last week, a man who touched many lives as an educator, cultural community leader, and a spiritually jolly man who left us; suddenly after a short illness.

There comes a time in every nurse’s career when it may be time to quit a nursing job. It’s rarely a fun decision, but we all must go through it, even when it’s uncomfortable or scary.

It’s often said that the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t, but then again, there are times when you know it’s time to go,
