1. What I Wish I Had Known Before

   New_Man_Nurse replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in General Nursing

   New_Man_Nurse replied to New_Man_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   OK I should have quoted. I have to say that I never have seen a blog that doesn't attach responses and threads automatically. Lesson learned. Just another waste of my hard work becoming a RN. Let me say this in conclusion before I call this discussio...

   Hi. Awesome! You are asking all the right questions, and you are not believing 'everything' you hear. You will make what I think will be a competent and valuable nurse in Public Service. Its personal but to answer the question of 'mountains of debt'...

   Wow great comments about your experiences. Briefly I will say I was the only precepted student in my class of 60 that was let into a couple CABGs... and that was a reward for my hard work, I knew at that time I would never be able to not pursue more ...

10. Is there a "Nurse Shortage" Lie?

    New_Man_Nurse replied to New_Man_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... that is another thing I have heard so often. "SNF's and Home Health doesn't give you the acute care back ground necessary for a medsurg position". "We won't hire someone that's not going to stay". (Kind of an insult right?) Is that therefore ...
