Neither thread insulted me in any way. In fact it has made think of the times I have driven home from work upset and physically exhausted, for less than twenty dollars a hour. My pay has increased but not like my husband's. He is a pharmacist, when w...
I have been a nurse for over twenty years and do not regret it. I wished one of our children had gone into nursing, but alas none did. I would recommend it to anyone there are so many ways one can have a career. Good luck to you on your journey. Nan

I took the test about 3 years ago, and passed. A very hard test. I studied about a year, using Laura Gasparis cassettes, review courses, and "pass ccrn". I have some Nancy Townsend also. Study all the time. Good luck!

I cannot believe that someone can feel that way about vaccinations. My husband who is 53 and myself keep up with our tetanus vaccines. I have seen tetanus and do not wish to again. The reason we have the quality of life we do is due to vaccines. T...
