  1. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    I just relocated to the Tampa Bay area with my family about a month ago. I am going to tell you what I think so far. Relocating is obviously a huge plunge we've taken. My motivation was to move away from the harsh Winters of the North. I am very exci...
  2. Burnout

    For one thing, you are a nurse but still human first. I would say you are being a bit too hard on yourself. How about this oath, "I will do my best to care for my patients, try to squeeze in as many orders in a shift so that the oncoming nurse do...
  3. Career change advice

    Absolutely not! ADN nurses can, and do get jobs in an emergency department. It will be fine. If you are looking for more than working in a clinical setting than a BSN would be the route to go. Administrative/Management Nursing positions tend to a...
  4. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    I just want to wish all of the nurses who are going to be writing the NCLEX the very best. I know that it is a stressful time, just keep your eye on the prize! Study hard, and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. I had worked psychiatry for 10 years before writin...
  5. Visa Screen Certificate / CGFNS

    I think it took about 6 weeks for me (from the time all documents were recieved).
  6. Does god make mistakes?

  7. You obviously have your mind made up about people in general. There is nothing I can say to you I guess to change your mind. Meanwhile, you want people to better themselves and take responsibility of there own lives. I understand your philosophy. ...
  8. This is true, is a perfect world. I guess, that means there is no excuse for anything. Nobody has any excuse for catastrophe ruining their lives. Like the thousands of people who wait in line for three days to get into a free clinic. Well, it's a...
  9. I am profoundly interested in knowing how you can justify the misfortune of many Americans based on "Poor Choices". Who is to say that tomorrow you won't have a "JOB", and won't have health insurance. Perhaps this is the exact atitude I am talking ...
  10. Perhaps speaking as a Canadian, I can shed some light on how I feel about how our Healthcare system has worked. I have worked and lived in the US, so I know both systems quite well. I want to start by saying, it is unfortunate for Americans who ha...
  11. Thank you, I have been trying to get that message across too. Let's let this go already.
  12. are you making this statement because you actually believe that American nurses will be at a 40,000 salary cap? Where are you getting this information. Why are you worried about something that has not even been proposed? The only information I rec...
  13. What are you talking about? Why would you begin to think that a salary cap is in the future, and would begin to take shape. For one thing, this reform is exactly what nurses need. The last thing any government would want to do is upset the nursi...
  14. Am I too shallow to be a nurse?

    Are you wanting to work in a Hospital? You'll probably not like it based on what you've said. This is no picnik. You have people who depend on you, and your all they've got. Last time i checked "Germs are everywhere+++. Blood, vomit, sputum, uri...
  15. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    My ADN has supported my family and I just fine. Not too much difference than a BSN unless interested in Management/Administrative. Even after 14 years of experience i am unable to get a job in Management. Be careful of your choices. I am unable t...
