   momofstudent replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   Long story here. I left the USA in 2002 at age 52 to travel after some miserable nurse jobs. I met a Portuguese/Brazilian and we married 18 months later, I went to live in Brazil and Portugal. 2012 I returned without the husband to the USA and did no...

3. To those who left or are planning to leave nursing

   momofstudent replied to ewalls8063's topic in LTAC

   During Covid I was feeling that I should do something to help in light of the nursing shortage. Because I had been out of nursing for years I felt LTC would work. I found an agency and worked hard to fit in with absolutely no orientation. I had to le...

   momofstudent replied to DermNP2Be's topic in NP Students

   I'm sorry that you feel it necessary to compare yourself to others who are actually taking a different path. Please consider that each individual has different needs and opportunities. I attended a brick and mortar for my bridge from ADN to BSN and I...

5. PMHNP , telepsych for American based companies, while traveling abroad

   momofstudent replied to ChrissyBee's topic in NP

   As an experienced expat, this question deserves a better answer. It doesn't matter where in the world she is, she is still working for an American company and her paychecks will go into an American account. Foreign banks do not even want to open acco...

   momofstudent replied to soon2bRN516's topic in New Nurse

   Look, I know most of you are very good and have great resumes etc. But do sit down and do a serious self examination. Do you really interview well? Those doing the hiring have tons of experience with hiring and they can be pretty discerning. I agree...

10. Orlando nurses "know" who graduated from VCC versus who graduated from UCF?

    momofstudent replied to flygirl117's topic in Florida

    I just went to read this for a second time. I feel those nurses who sit around making comparison statements need to get back to work. I don't even know these schools but I am sure there are good, excellent and mediocre nurses from each.

    momofstudent replied to boots0890's topic in Online Learning

    What about talking to other schools who might be willing to take you as a transfer? This HESI thing has got to go. I disagree with using it as a final gate before graduation. The NCLEX should be the final test, not some commerical program used by sch...

    momofstudent replied to joy_m's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would like to see others chime in here on this subject. The reason to apply to the MSN doesnt't seem entirely rational. Masters programs are going to be teaching at an even higher academic level than the BSN programs. Are you understanng what the d...
