  1. Summer, how do you like working for INOVA? I've heard mixed things about them but they have such a large presence in this area that I am sure there are units/locations from horrible to great.
  2. Mentorship in the Nursing Community

    I absolutely agree that my original post/question included strong statements about behaviors and attitudes that I have seen here and that have been shared with me through the experiences of my friends and family. What I did not do or say anywhere in...
  3. RN Unit for Unknown NP Specialty?

    Esme, I can certainly understand the 'direct entry' vs 'RN experience first' debate. There are pros/cons to both side but in the end it is an extremely personal decision one has to make. I personally would like some experience before getting a MSN ...

  8. Mentorship in the Nursing Community

    Honestly, I have no interest in providing further responses to people that do not take the time to comprehend what someone is saying. Talk about having a chip on the shoulder. I can see now why the opinons of others are what they are for a minority o...
  9. Mentorship in the Nursing Community

    First of all, don't tell me to stop anything. You don't own the rights to my mind or my body, and you certainly lack authority to tell me what to do or how to think. Thirdly, it is an ignorant attitude to say that an individual's experiences are an ...
  10. After spending alot of time on this forum reading vrious posts and speaking to RNs I know in real life, I am utterly AMAZED that there seems to be a general territorial nature in the nursing profession. Again, I'll emphasize the word "general" becaus...

    kguill975- Thanks for your response. I understand that working in the various areas through clinicals will drive much of any nurses decision to work in a specific area, followed closely by where they actually end up getting employed (which might not...

    I am currently a government employee working as a high level finance professional. Although my work is generally enjoyable, I do not find it fulfilling for a multitude of reasons that I won't go into here. In addition, I have reached in my career at...
