1. What pay are nurses making these days?

   efda3 replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

   My friend is a LPN in NYC & they started him at $23/hr.

2. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

   efda3 replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. But you have other nurses on here practically ridiculing her for typing this post, further enforcing the abuse that goes on in this field.

3. Just get out of nursing already

   efda3 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, but they can't make that happen overnight. Think of a single mom who makes "too much" and doesn't qualify for any aid. How will she pay for college? When will she go? After work? Who is going to watch her kids while she's in school? How much i...

4. Is it just me or............?

   efda3 replied to eriksoln's topic in Relations

   Yes, true! And it just gives them an excuse to abuse nurses...who, in turn, accept the abuse.

5. Student Mistreatment

   efda3 replied to boricualuv4ever's topic in General Students

   Welcome to nursing school. It only gets worse from this point on.

6. The thought of leaving the nursing field brings me an overwhelming sense of peace....

   efda3 replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks! You're a ray of sunshine (pun intended) . You hit the head on it! That's what I have seen, as well. Nursing looked SO much better about 3+ years ago. Like you, I would like to say it will get better, but in all honesty, I see it only getting...

7. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

   efda3 replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

   Seriously! It doesn't bother me, but I have no idea where such foul attitudes come from. Who CARES if the OP is being sensitive or not? She didn't go SLIT her wrists because of this, she's just pointing out how it was rude and she disliked it. OP,...

8. Survey: Do nurses have a voice??

   efda3 replied to ASparks's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely issues. No, they don't have a voice because they don't stick together...they're too busy fighting each other instead of backing each other up.

   What an idiot.

10. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

    efda3 replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really wanted to get upset at this post, as I am in my mid-20s and NOTHING like this. I also was supporting myself since the age of 17, which is not the case for everyone. I agree that there are many "young" people who CAN act this way and I find i...

11. What I really think of nursing

    efda3 replied to jmeng's topic in General Nursing

    Jmeng, I'm not in denial. I agree with a lot of what your saying. Also, like MentalHealthRN..I have to agree that I love the patients and pretty much hate everything else. You're allowed to state your opinion and I encourage you to keep posting on h...

12. Just get out of nursing already

    efda3 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for being intelligent. Point on. IMHO, the OP should "toughen up" if reading posts about ones dislike for their job bothers them so much that they made an entire post ranting about it. It seems like a lot of this goes on in nursing. EVERY ...

13. Just get out of nursing already

    efda3 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    People are allowed to complain or vent. What difference does it make to you whether or not they like nursing or quit? It doesn't. Time to grow up. The world is full of complaining, venting, and/or flat out negativity. It's a shame to see kudos on thi...

14. The thought of leaving the nursing field brings me an overwhelming sense of peace....

    efda3 replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

    How many years, of those 20 years, were you actually a nurse? I noticed that you have 1 year of LPN experience, and it looks like you went back to school and have another 1 year of RN experience...so 2 years combined right?

15. The thought of leaving the nursing field brings me an overwhelming sense of peace....

    efda3 replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of replies..most have been pretty nice and something I needed to read. It's nice to have some support and understanding. I can't really talk about this stuff to non-nurses because they just don't g...
