1. NO NURSING JOBS!!!

   -nurse- replied to JaqRN's topic in Career Support

   Seems like experienced nurses are no longer immune to the shortage of nurse openings either

2. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Reason to be thankful: I am not a nurse anymore!

   -nurse- replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

   LOL! I think many people can relate to that. :)

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

   -nurse- replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

   So does everyone think that nursing gets better after the 1st year? Does the cattiness and all of that nonsense die down? For those who are fairly quiet/shy/keep to themselves (at all costs), were you able to avoid the ugliness this field has to offe...

4. Student Mistreatment

   -nurse- replied to boricualuv4ever's topic in General Students

   I agree. People shouldn't have to suck it up, but nursing conditions people to accept the abuse. I wish everyone had the chance to experience a program like yours. I have no idea what it is about nursing, but I can relate a LOT to what the OP wrote o...

5. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

   -nurse- replied to summersent's topic in General Students

   I was passionate about nursing. My family has stuff I used to write, as a child, stating how I would grow up to be a nurse. "Their spot is taken by people who change their minds". Uhm no, that's not quite how it works. Spots are taken by the "cream ...

6. Bitterness At Work

   -nurse- replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

   While I have experienced a little of this in every kind of work environment, I have observed this happening the most in nursing. It's a shame!

7. Coworker issues - so disheartening

   -nurse- replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

   I agree that this is how people are...but it definitely is not worse in other fields. To be honest, I thought I was going to read something worse. Whatever you do, don't let people start stepping all over you. Good Luck

8. Where would your least favorite area to work be?

   -nurse- replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't voted on this poll, but I have to say that I am really surprised that LTC & Psych are so undesirable! Can anyone tell me why it seems like such a large proportion of nurses aren't so crazy about those?

9. Student Loans: When is too much?

   -nurse- replied to OlatheJessica's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't pay more than $50,000 to reach my BSN.

10. Can someone proofread my resume please?

    -nurse- replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    Show off their accomplishments? Are you serious pre-nursing student? How incredibly immature and jealous of you. To the OP. I would be glad to edit your resume if you need help. :)

11. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    -nurse- replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Geesh, I thought this was just my nursing program! Seriously, though, I am learning that this is somewhat a common experience. It's a little scary to see these kinds of trends so early on. I am not sure if I want to further my education in nursing, ...

12. Calling in sick...what are your facilities policies?

    -nurse- replied to maxcat's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes...5 days doesn't seem like a lot. It generally takes someone a week to recover from the flu. I know most people get 5-6, but it's just something I thought twice about, as we are nurses and going back into the field to care FOR sick people. Iron...

    -nurse- replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

    What field do you think you want to go into?

14. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Reason to be thankful: I am not a nurse anymore!

    -nurse- replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    when someone comes home to announce, for example, an award that they earned, do you one up them? where's the courtesy? it's not really hard to read in between the lines. i have seen you reply this way to many people who so much as peep about their di...
