  1. NP advice, specialties and jobs

    I am considering NP school and am looking for advice! Are the NP jobs still out there? My fear is that I will complete a few years of schooling and not be able to find a job due to oversaturation. I am leaning toward FNP because I have experience in ...
  2. New Nurse on Med Surg Floor

    I also just started a new med/surg job because I took a break from my short career in the OR and needed a foot in the door to get back to Surgery. I feel the same way you do. I will be working nights but am orienting to days first, and every day I go...
  3. Advice for returning

    Thank you for the reply! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to you. I had very limited time to decide what to do as far as the refresher program since it's only offered twice a year here and I did not want to wait if that was my best option, so a...

  10. hospital vs. office nursing

    If you can, try to make sure you will not want to return to hospital nursing and will be ok in an office setting for awhile. Although not definite, I have heard and witnessed myself how difficult it can be to try to get hired by a hospital after leav...
  11. I understand how you feel. I graduated with my Rn degree in 2007, worked for a year in the OR, then moved too far away to take call, so I then worked a year in public health. My family owns a small business that needed help so after doing so in my "f...
