1. Leaving your first nursing job, how hard was it?

   IamRN2345 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

   I'm still at my first nursing job 6 years later, although my position has changed. Just the thought of it sounds heartwrenching. If that day ever comes, it'll be very hard for me to handle!

2. Am I dumb??

   IamRN2345 replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

   The wait to find out if I'd been accepted into nursing school was harder than waiting on board results. You are completely normal and everybody I've known experiences all the same doubts and fears. If it is meant to be, you will get it. :)

3. Kinda Worried!!! Advice Please!

   IamRN2345 replied to WanaBaNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing school had me pulling my hair out, stressed out to the maxiumum and almost calling it quits. However, my career thus far as a nurse has been all "I dreamed about." It is an amazingly rewarding and exciting career. I haven't once regretted my ...

4. What contribution do YOU make to nursing?

   IamRN2345 replied to IamRN2345's topic in General Nursing

   I think you are misunderstanding me. I'm not asking who views it as volunteer work. I am asking whether or not money is the motivator for choosing a nursing career.

5. Money from a patient?

7. How bad would it be to get pregnant while in nursing school?

   IamRN2345 replied to Soup Turtle's topic in General Nursing

   PS.. my daughters were born on January 20th and final semester bagan 3 days later so I didn't miss a day of school. I was fortunate in that way.

8. How bad would it be to get pregnant while in nursing school?

   IamRN2345 replied to Soup Turtle's topic in General Nursing

   I got pregnant during nursing school and I thought it wouldn't be a problem but I was wrong. It was extremely difficult and It made things 10x harder than they would have been without being pregnant but as someone else said, life continues, even duri...

9. Pain shots are us, not this nurse!

   IamRN2345 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

   It's their pain, their meds and their call. If it is a PRN med and it is time for them to request it and they do, then it is time to administer it. I'm a nurse in acute care. I'm not a doctor who has ordered it, a specialist in addiction nor a police...

    Is nursing just a money-making job for you? What contribution do you make to nursing? Why did you want to become a nurse and what continues to motivate you to show up to work each day?
