1. Why Nurses Leave Nursing

   NavyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   I am contributing to the nursing shortage. Here in California we have a problem keeping nurses. I've been looking for part time work so I can return to school. The managers will not interview me unless I agree to work full time nights. This is fou...

2. Nursing; A job or a Profession?

   NavyRN replied to RUsincere2's topic in Career Support

   Profession? Yes. Respected? No. Why? Because we don't put our foot down. I have seen nurses taken as far as physical harm and do nothing to help themselves, and no one stood up for them. Why? Fear. Fear of being fired. So what, sue them. We...

8. Nurses.... Our Own Worst Enemies??

   NavyRN replied to MaineNurse67's topic in General Nursing

   I do believe nurses are causing their problems. I've been a navy nurse for 10 years, and I know that when I leave the navy I'll leave nursing. If I took a civilian job I would be fired, because I would never put up with being treated like dirt and ...

9. does anyone recommend l/d or maternal/ child nursing?

   Yes I would recomend Maternal Child Nursing to any one who has a strong calling for it as it seems you have. I have worked L&D, postpartum and nursery for 5 years. I love it. It's not for every one and those who do not like it should not be do...
