1. Taking 20 credit hours?

   enkwanta replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Did you check if that was even allowed? I know there are limits to the number of credits one can take. Sounds insane to me. Do you work? If you dont, plan not to sleep. School will be very painful for you but good luck with all those labs at the same...

2. I Hate People (my rant)

   enkwanta replied to AlyaMF's topic in Relations

   We truly have a society that allows free speech. Are you in the medical profession? worse, are you a caring nurse? Whom do you like or care about?

3. Nurses, how do you view your job?

   enkwanta replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

   These individuals are not serious and must be many of the nurses who hop from job to job because it is just a job. I cannot count the number of times I have to go beyond the call of duty, and I did that because I am a nurse, and I have a legal obliga...

5. I'm a sexless nurse

   enkwanta replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   I have been around in nursing for quite some time, and there is always this thing where some male nurses would be reluctant to do certain procedures on female patients. It is no different from being a physician. They take care of male and female equa...

6. You will all probably hate me for this

   enkwanta replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

7. Moving to Another Area - New Grad

   enkwanta replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

   Networking is the best deal. That is how I got my last three jobs. I am qualified academically and with experience but that did not pull it. By the way I am not a new nurse but will be a new grad in another 3-4 months with my doctorate. I will be in ...

11. How To Answer "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

    enkwanta replied to RNmamabear's topic in Job Hunt

    It maybe a trick question but the interviewee must take charge of the conversation and show some confidence. They know that it is not very easy to project what will happen in five years. I believe what they are looking for is short term and long term...

15. I really need some advice. I dont know if I want to be a nurse much longer.

    enkwanta replied to alydee1's topic in General Nursing

    It is not unusual to feel that way. Considering that you are a new grad and just over a year in the field. You are still adjusting to nursing because there is a lot out there to learn. I understand that when you just get thrown into it without any go...
