    I also did your survey. I think you would get better responses if your questions were worded a bit differently. Like llg, I do not work in an academic setting. Good luck with your project.

  4. Post-Master's FNP versus Med School

    I am an RN with a BSN and MS degree in nursing administration. I completed my MS degree about 3 years ago and I've had a few interesting leadership and administrative roles since then. However, I'm not fully satisfied with my career path and lately...
  5. Aspiring CNM in L&D

    I'm sorry that you are not enjoying your new job. As with any new job, it just may take some time for you to adjust. You may want to hang in there awhile longer. After you are off orientation, it may get better because you will have a little more ...
  6. Appying to school, questions

    Hi VitKev13: I'm in the same boat as you. I have experience in the ED, med-surg, and home health, but no L&D experience. I've been interested in midwifery since high school, but I haven't pursued it for many reasons. I'm now reconsidering my ...

  9. for those of you with non-hospital jobs...

    Two years of experience is plenty to find a non-hospital job. I found one with less than a year of hospital experience. It really depends on the area in which you live, but you should try online sites like http://www.careerbuilder.com or http://www...

  12. I am begging for any type of input..

    As another poster suggested, I think that it would be very useful for you to seek some career counseling. Most universities offer this kind of assistance for free. To provide more input for you, I would need to know more information. What attract...
  13. Working full-time with a part time job??

    Working both a full-time and part-time job is definitely not advisable for a new nurse. Working 3 12-hr shifts per week left me beyond exhausted, even after I was comfortable in my position. For a new nurse, it is going to take at least a year befo...

    You can actually find these jobs by searching career boards like http://www.careerbuilder.com or http://www.monster.com. You can search for "registered nurse" in your zip code and then just go through them all to weed out the hospital or SNF posting...
