   Does it bother you when someone wants to be a nurse just for the money?

   NoWaNrN replied to KhloRN2be's topic in General Nursing

   It really bothers me when people want to be a nurse just for the money! For one 1/2 of them will make it through nursing school and the ones that do will not make it the field long at all, or they will try to get mangement jobs and just be nasty to w...

   Thanks for the input it helps. I think I might want to change though. I just feel if I do I will really regret it. I guess I will not know until I make that choice.

   New Grad why can't I get hired???

   NoWaNrN replied to RNBuckeye's topic in Ohio

   I know this is probably not what you are wanting to hear but it might make you feel a little better. As a nurse that does hiring for the company I am employed for I want to make sure when I hire a new grad that I don’t have too many orientating alrea...

   Ok a little back ground. I was an LPN worked in LTC (nursing home) went back for my RN. Out of school as an RN I went to a really big hospital in my area and took a FT day shift position on an ICU step down unit. I really did love my job, but I got p...

   Rets!

   NoWaNrN replied to depmed1397's topic in Ohio

   2 of my friends and I went to Rets for our RN (we did our LPN somewhere else) there where many bumps in the road but it was managable. We all passed our NCLEX the first time around and got really good jobs at hospitals in Dayton, but what I hear from...

   Bone Marrow Transplant unit

   NoWaNrN replied to MsShanRN's topic in General Nursing

   When you get your interview as for a job shadow, alot of places like to hear you ask for this instead of getting to a unit and not liking it. You would really benifit from that and the nurses would probably be really willing to answer questions.

   Future of LPNs

   NoWaNrN replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN/LVN

   I went for my LPN first then My RN, I did this so I could make more money working less hours while in school for my RN. I figured make 9 bucks an hour for 12 months then make 16-18 while I'm in school for my RN, vs making 9 for 4 years. Whatever is...

   Just need to vent a little about my preceptor

   NoWaNrN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in New Nurse

   A lot of the times if you tell your manager of these situations they can help. Really her making you say please before she helps you could interfere with pt care. That really sucks she is treating you that way. Have you ever said any thing to her? ...

    Can one wait to take the NCLEX for more than a yr .......

    NoWaNrN replied to Poochee's topic in NCLEX

    I also heard the pass rate decreases the longer you wait. Just out of curiosity why would you want to wait a year anyways?

    NoWaNrN replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    I was an LPN before I became an RN, I worked my tail off as an LPN! I haven't started working on the floor in the hospital as an RN yet, But some LPN as well as RN's have big time management problems. RN can do so much more than LPN's can, but ther...

    I would love to be a school teacher! I wanted to be a lawyer the entire time I was in nursing school. I do like nursing, I just love to learn.

    Patient Modesty

    NoWaNrN replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    I had a simple D&E done after a miscarriage, I had never had surgery where I was put under general anesthesia before and was nervous. As a nursing student observing in the OR I heard some pretty bizzare things being said. So in my room before s...

    How many hours can you legally work in 1 day?

    NoWaNrN posted a topic in Ohio

    I thought that you could only work 16 hours in one day. I work 12 hour shifts and a nurse came on at the same time I did, then at 7pm they came to relieve me from my cart and count. I said are you working all night? They said yeah until 7am! That is ...

    Getting through a clinical experience you hate

    NoWaNrN replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in General Students

    Maybe find someone who has some interesting pictures on the wall and talk to them about it. Just because these people are elderly and frail doesn't mean they don't have amazing stories to tell. That could be the one thing that changes your mind and...
