1. RN wondering is it worth getting BSN

   NurseGhostHunter replied to DisasterRCRN's topic in General Nursing

   I have a BSBA and also thought it would count as a BSN given I worked a heck of a lot harder in business school than in nursing school. Nursing school was a breeze compared to business school. I was lucky and ended up in management with only a year o...

2. Other jobs for RN besides direct patient care?

   Insurance companies and insurance management companies will often hire RN's. I think pharmaceutical companies will also hire RN's for research and maybe sales? I feel ya. I was burnt out after a year and I was ready to get out too when I got an offic...

3. Signing your title in everyday signature

   I was in the same boat as you after a year of bedside nursing in a long term care center I was burnt out. I applied for a night shift position at my current facility and they offered me a management position instead and I jumped on it. So far it's t...

   NurseGhostHunter posted a topic in General Nursing

   At my job, and with most nursing jobs I guess, I sign my name and title A LOT. SO much that I sometimes catch myself almost signing my title in normal every day signatures. Like signing a check, I almost always want to add RN after my signature. I ha...

7. A little too proud to be a nurse?

   NurseGhostHunter replied to joyfullpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't have anything against nursing items like keychains, rings, tee shirts, etc even though I don't own any nursing related items myself (I've only been a nurse for a little over a year so maybe my excitement level could change somewhere down the ...
