4. Why I'm leaving nursing

   Vacationtime247 replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sure a lot more people would leave nursing if they weren't buried in debt. See it all to often. New nurse, excited to be in their new position, goes out and buys a new car, new house, and other...

   Vacationtime247 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

   If you're to lazy to clean up after yourself, don't get mad when I do it for you. Case in point. Every day I'd come into work, the break room was a mess from the last shift. Food, drinks, perfume,...

    Vacationtime247 replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DON'T DO IT! Wish someone had told me this before I went through with it. You will hate it. Become a CNA, HHA or tech first and do that for 6-8 months @40hrs a week. Observe the nurses you work...

13. Who is GENERALLY more of a "PAIN"?: Co-workers OR Patients?

    Vacationtime247 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing
