   nurshathaway replied to ShannonB25's topic in General Nursing

   GO FOR IT! I agree with both the other posts, do what you think you will enjoy. You'll have enough to deal with learning this specialty and the stress that it will come with but if you enjoy it, it'll make your nursing experience so much better. Y...

   nurshathaway replied to nurshathaway's topic in General Nursing

   nurshathaway replied to nurshathaway's topic in General Nursing

   First, Reg, thank you for sharing that...that is exactly what I was looking for. Second, Mustangsheba, I agree these forums should be used to vent and believe me on some of the topics, I do my share. In this particular topic, I just wanted to hear t...

5. Nursing Shortage Makes the Prime Time News!

   nurshathaway replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

   Reg, you gave an excellent suggestion...why don't they have a reporter following a nurse through a full shift (preferably a 12-hour shift)? Maybe amongst we can petition a reporter from one of the national networks (such as Dateline or 20/20) to tak...

   nurshathaway replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

   I think that it is important that everyone who participates in this BB comment on this report and its half-baked story. And I don't just mean via the website comments section, but a letter directly to the reporter. Maybe if she gets enough responses...

   nurshathaway replied to barrybender's topic in General Nursing

   Ocankhe brings up a very good point Even though a starting salary in New York City of $50,000 sounds astronomical when you are starting with only $30,000, you are not thinking about the cost of living. If you wanted to live in New York City, a 2-be...

    nurshathaway replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I can definitely understand your frustration with this event. The fact that they went through two levels already while cheating is definitely disheartening. I feel that what goes around, comes around...maybe the 4th level teacher will be a little m...

12. Medical school

    nurshathaway replied to ShannonB25's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit that when I first decided to return to school (I knew I wanted to go further in the medical field), I was seriously considering medical school. Deciding to go back to school at 36, would of course mean that I would be 44 before I get in...
