  1. BUMP! I'd like to know the answer to this, too. Any takers??
  2. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    Great info. Thanks! I know. I'm really bad at that. I guess I'm going overboard w/ asking a bunch of questions before I make a decision b/c I've already been in a healthcare program and I didn't ask these questions before I got there...and, as a re...
  3. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    With the current job market, isn't it really hard for a new grad to get any job? I think I've seen a couple of threads (I need to read some more; I just skimmed through them) where a lot of new grads were complaining about the lack of jobs available....
  4. Hi, I'm thinking about doing a 1yr accelerated BSN program and was wondering how hard it would be for a new grad to get a job in the NICU? Is this an area that's pretty much impossible to get into w/o a couple of years experience? If so, what should...
  5. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    :chuckle That bad, huh?
  6. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    So, it's abnormal for that to be annoying ("whining adults patients") in my eyes? Most people don't care about that? If so, I guess you're right...I have some soul searching to do.
  7. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    I've worked in healthcare before (not nursing) and I just prefer pediatric patients. Adult patients seem to whine and complain while kids, they may whine and complain but it's acceptable, in my eyes, because they are children. Adults who aren't compl...
  8. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    I agree. Different strokes for different folks. One would think a nurse should be super compassionate and loving but the reality is, most nurses I've met (or know...including friends) have an "attitude" so I'm sure I'd fit right in...if this is the c...
  9. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    QUESTION: After reading through all of these responses, I've come to the conclusion that all of you guys are talking about "Floor Nursing", right? Are other areas of nursing as stressful? I remember a couple of my nursing friends saying, "I hate floo...
  10. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    Oh, I get it. I got it after post #5 by ohmeowzerRN. After I read that post, I thought, "Phew! No wonder nurses always say they're overworked and underpaid." That's a lot of stuff you guys have to do/deal with in a 12hr shift so yes, I see why you gu...
  11. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    Hi, Thank you for your post and no, I don't think it was offensive; you made some good points. Maybe the healthcare profession really isn't for me (like some of my friends have told me Lol), but I like science/healthcare (especially disease and the ...
  12. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    "Do NOT tell a nurse to..."...really? Are you serious? :chuckle I'm sorry but that's pretty hilarious. You just reminded me of a Kindergarten teacher yelling at her student for trying to eat glue or something. Ex) "Do NOT put that in your mouth!" Any...
  13. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    Very, very true. I can understand where you are coming from. I'm really dramatic (i.e. saying "sooooooo" or "reeeaally!?") and speak like this in my daily life (perhaps I should be an actress? :chuckle). But yeah, I can see how it may come across as ...
  14. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    Well I guess you're missing one of your senses. No troll...truthful thoughts. I just have a blunt way of asking questions; no need to beat around the bush. That's what I was thinking and wanted to get some answers. Answers...I definitely got so now I...
  15. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    Ok...you guys have given me great insight so yeah, I understand now. Thanks for the info! And, just a little fyi - KUDOS TO NURSES!!! I kind of got tired just imagining doing all of that stuff. Haha.
