  1. I agree with you and support your point of view. Must be really nice to work together with your husband on the same floor and same schedule. On the NM behalf, I think she was desperate...but nevertheless inappropriate.
  2. My seven month journey in ICU has ended.

    Where are you? They are so many other choices out there. Hospital environment is like wolf's den. There's a hierarchy of some sort, I know this for a fact........we all started the same, even the most experience nurse first learned to crawl, walk and...
  3. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

    I agree.....I think if your passionate about something then the money will follow. I understand that knowing the pay for the future is an important factor into deciding a career but should not be priority or else you will end up regreting it. Special...
  4. My New-Found Love For Nursing

    Good for you, I always encourage people that have the gift of serving to be nurses. I'm an RN, and like many I love it at times and hated it some days. Some people get in the field for the money, and are terrible nurses. Great signing everything and ...
  5. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    I agree 100% with you. Nursing in books and before graduating seemed like one of the best jobs anyone could have. Higher pay, good hours, respect and feeling rewarded all the time. jejej big shock in the real world......I've graduated in May 2011 and...
  6. does anyone regret this career?

    This is more like a venting thread. It's good to let your feelings out, one way or another. Otherwise, it just dwells in your deepest thoughts. I like and enjoy nursing and the nursing skills we provide, unfortunately all that entails dealing with ev...
  7. I work pedi home health which is great. Could not ask for anything else better, but I also work for a SNH. The skills in both are limited, I would think. I feel like I'm missing a lot that I had learned in nursing school, and will never be able to pr...
  8. Agree with previous comments. Once you get experience and learn what you needed to learn then those months that you worked for count as experience and looks great on your resume, rather than no experience in nursing jobs at all. Besides, I'm talking ...
  9. This is just me, I read previous posting on how they wouldn't take a paycut. I certainly would, in fact I often asked my employer to consider giving me a paycut for at least two months while I was training with someone else or new to the job with no ...
  10. I got a JOB!

    But go on...tells us everything. What's your dream job and how long did you wait, is this your first nursing job?
  11. if I was you I would switch maybe shifts but same floor. Anything to avoid person you were confronted against. Now, your preceptor will try to get back at you and try to find flaws or errors in which she could report you on. Idk, it's funny bc even t...
  12. Tired of LTC...

    join the club!!!! Make some time to indulge yourself by eating something you like or talking to a resident you enjoy. I find happiness through some pts that I trust and they show appreciation for everything I do. I love my job and the residents I tak...
  13. Fired from first RN job...does it get better?

    I'm sorry to hear that, it seems that they were not conscientious at all with you or the fact that you were a new nurse. Piece of advise stick with the good nurses or even LVN's or CNA, for that fact even housekeeping. They will tell you how to do t...
  14. ? if I want to become a CRNA where should I begin to work?

    K thanks everyone, I get it they really want anyone to have experience with the most critical and risky skills/procedures done within healthcare facilities. Well, the best way to go about it would be to sign up for a residency into ICU and even then ...
  15. Dermatology office pays $13/hour

    'pls don't settle for that......RNs make and deserve more than $13.00/hr.....I know the job is easy...but the risk and your license is at stake and that will cost you more than the $13.00/hr. If they don't want to pay more than that,.... then have th...
