1. Do you regret being a nurse

   RN2MD replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

   Yes I do, however I am rectifying things by returning to professional school this fall. I should have done my research before pursuing nursing. If I had I would have realized that my personality, aspirations, goals, and lifestyle were a very poor ...

2. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

   RN2MD replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

   I've never understood this type of behavior. Afterall don't RN's realize in the eyes of many well educated, well compensated professionals we are just ---wipers? I have heard many of my professional friends make very unflattering comments about nu...

3. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

   RN2MD replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Career Support

   No, I would not recommend nursing. However, if nursing is someones passion I would not try to dissuade them from choosing nursing. Low pay, little to no respect, no health care upon retirement, no pension upon retirement, etc..... Most nurses I know ...

4. As bad as they say??

   RN2MD replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Career Support

   Nursing is a difficult field. Little to no respect, low pay, hazardous working conditions. However, if nursing is yor passion then go for it. It definitely is not for the faint at heart.

   RN2MD replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   Mercy, How many professional friends do you have? Were you raised in a working class household? Do you have a BSN? All of these factors contribute to the type of field one goes into. I have family members who are attorneys, administrators (masters pr...

6. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

   RN2MD replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   Let's discuss the facts. Nurses are underpaid, overworked, not respected nor viewed as professionals by well educated people. What are nurses going to do to change this? 1)BSN as point of entry 2)Unions (nationwide) 3)Stop accepting crap from admin...

7. Nursing school or Medical school

   RN2MD replied to steph86's topic in Career Support

   Labcat my comment was directed toward emilyerin not you. Emilyerins post was quite straightforward and simplistic in nature not much room for misinterpretation! My comments were simply the truth as I see it, if viewed as callous not my problem. My...

8. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

   RN2MD replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I was initially pre-med in college. I only went into nursing as a default I was going to become a CRNA but realized I wanted more respect, status and $$$. Instead of nurses attacking one another you ladies should form a cohesive political ...

9. Nursing school or Medical school

   RN2MD replied to steph86's topic in Career Support

   Siri I never considered NP. My personality is more compatible with medicine. I was initially a Bio/Pre-med major but settled for psychology because the science courses were so demanding. I later obtained a BSN because I wanted to go into anesthesia b...

10. Nursing school or Medical school

    RN2MD replied to steph86's topic in Career Support

    Thank you Siri. So many regrets with nursing. This occupation is totally incompatible with my personality. Noone to blame but myself I guess (sigh) Wish I had known what nursing was really like. I never would have wasted my time or money on that B...

12. Nursing school or Medical school

    RN2MD replied to steph86's topic in Career Support

    I will be attending med school in 06. Take it from me nursing and medicine are two VERY different fields. Do you desire complete autonomy, like making all of the decisions, enjoy critical thinking, prefer manual labor or intellectual pursuits? The...

13. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

    RN2MD replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

    I will be attending med school in the fall 06 (ie my moniker). Do nurses have any idea what true professionals (ie MD, JD, PharmD, MBA, DDS, DVM,PhD) have endured to earn the salaries and respect afforded to them by society? Does anyone notice any ...
