2. My testimony for the new grads!

   MissyKrissyRN replied to MissyKrissyRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I always encourage others to work their way into an RN program (if it's feasable) instead of LPN/LVN only because it takes almost the same amount of time and money. Working your way up from CNA to LVN to RN will take a lot of time, and you might beco...

   1st thing ya'll need to do: find a hobby/past time. Its a must in order to cope with the stress. Believe me, I felt the exact same way ya'll did. For months I was depressed and would cry before each shift. (just wrote a post about that) Adjusting to ...

   MJB2010 - The great thing about nursing is that there is so much you can do. You just have to find what you like best, and that will definitely take some time. Keep looking and do a self-assessment of what type of work environment you would like best...
