  1. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    If the family has no insurance, then that means they are not working. Maybe they should have thought about birth control before conceiving a child which they can't afford. Why should I feel guilty now for all the folks who are irresponsible - produce...
  2. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    Sangria, Yes, I would definetely would like to know more what you are doing. I hope it's not some type of sales business, because I'm not good at it.
  3. Health care a right or privilege

    Anything that cost is not a right. Healthcare is not a right, it is a commodity because it costs. If you go to the mall, or grocery store you know that you have to pay, nobody is arguing with the cashier about not paying. For some odd reason, when pe...
  4. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    I recently quit my new job in an outpatient oncology. I quit my job in a hospital last year where I worked for several years and truly hated it. I really don't like nursing and don't want to do it anymore. I was always jealous of all non-nursing job...
  5. Any stress relieving ideas for nursing student?

    If you are already stressed out in nursing school, wait till you get a nursing job. Then it will be a real stress! I'm not saying it out of spite. Most of the nurses on my med surg floor left nursing after a couple of years- they couldn't stand the h...
  6. Does the thought of going to your job make you sick?

    Angie1368- you are right. I thought that nursing school with clinicals was a nightmare. That is nothing comparing to the real HELL of nursing once you are in a hospital/assisted living type environment. That's why I am seriously considering totally ...

  8. career change from accounting to nursing?

    I'm an RN for 6 years now. I honestly regret this decision to ever become a nurse as it is one of the most stressful jobs one could have. I would love to have a quiet office room/cubicle. Nursing, at least in the hospital setting, is very physically ...
  9. Ever lost a job offer because of your reference?

    After working 6 years in a hospital on a medical oncology unit I decided to find a non-hospital job. I just finished 2 interviews. In both cases, I needed to provide at least 2 references, and yes- they did call to check on them. Actually, they wante...
  10. Criticized for being nervous . . .

    There is nothing wrong with being nervous if you are new to the skills and procedures required on your unit. I was a nervous wrack as a new grad too! I must say that a lot of times the preceptor can make a new grad unnecessarily even more stressed ou...
  11. I recently read a lot about QI/QA on this forum, and this nursing specialty sounds so interesting. I really want to get away from the bedside care nursing. My friend recently got a job with healthcare insurance as a Utilization Review Nurse ( or some...
  12. New student..what should i do?

    I would never pay that much money for nursing degree- now that I know from my experience working as an RN. First of all, if I would have to take students loans for so much money, I would go to study pharmacy- at least pharmacists are paid 100K+ for t...
  13. any RNs working as an "advice nurse" here?

    Thanks for your reply. I kind of suspected that triage is probably not the best option for me, and with all phone calls recorded, it would stress me out if I did said something wrong to the customer.
  14. I currently work on a medical floor (6 years total). I'm trying to get a job outside of the hospital- because I'm tired of bedside nursing and can't imagine doing it for any longer. I just saw an ad in my area for an advice nurse: "One of the nation'...
  15. Feeling alone & depressed today

    Stealing things is terrible- you were teenager at that time, so you were not a little kid, you knew what you were doing. So you should have not wondered why the future employer will be suspicious of you. Now, I believe that you greatly regret stealin...
