There appears to be some strange relationship between accounting and nursing, because many people on this board are leaving jobs as accountants to become nurses. I know someone who actually went in...

Stitchie, I laughed out loud when I read the part about the fax machine, because the exact same thing happened to me while working a temp job after being laid off. After several unsuccessful...

If a nursing student works in a hospital throughout school as an aide or patient care tech, does he/she have a better chance of being hired on at that same hospital as an RN straight into day shift?

I was thinking of doing this once I'm finally able to start my nursing classes. What are the duties of a patient care tech or aide? nurseRN2B, I wish you the best of luck in your decision. I can...

I think what you have on your hands is what experts are now calling a "workplace bully". Maybe you should just flat out ask her why she feels the need to degrade you in front of patients. Why does...

A similar thing happened to me this semester (also my first semester), and I was told by an advisor to keep checking the schedule over the next few months, because people will drop "like flies"...

RNPATL, you're right, I have no idea what a typical day will be like for me as a nurse, and I would take offense to having trash duty added to my list of responsibilities if I didn't even have time...

I have only heard of bridge programs that take about 3 years to get your MSN. I don't think there are any that take only one year. Also, doesn't getting non-profit consumer credit counseling give...

I haven't even started nursing school yet but hold the idea that my job as a nurse will be to fulfill the patient's needs, and if the trash is nasty and overflowing, then I will empty it as a...

That's what I thought--my degree is in Psychology as well, and I wasn't able to find a good paying job with it. I got a job right out of college doing data entry making $10 an hour. Do...

I called a local facility and asked how I would go about shadowing a nurse, and they said that I couldn't due to HIPPA laws. I only called the one facility, though, so maybe you should call several...

What are your degrees in?

My only concern is that I won't even like nursing or won't be good at it, and will not realize this until after I've spent thousands of dollars for my MSN. Plus, the only university in this area...

If I were in that situation, I would put off school until I could pay off some of that debt. Or at least go for the ADN while working as much as possible to keep my head above water, especially...

What type of education/experience is required to become a patient educator? I looked it up on the internet but wasn't able to find anything. I'm sure there is some type of certification you need to...

I have a B.S. in Psychology and am going for my ADN with the logic that if I want to pursue a BSN in the future, most any facility that I work at will reimburse me for the tuition. I don't want to...

I spoke with a hospital here in Nashville that will pay you during training to be a patient care tech. Your pay goes up once you're done with the training, which is 7 weeks long, and you get...

"Give a man a fish, and he will eat it for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat forever." Although technically you can't "teach" them, but if you constantly give quick, easy answers to...

My husband's nickname for me is Kelli Lou, and my favorite number is 3, so there ya go!

That's awesome, mjlrn97! You must've really worked hard to already be a quarter of the way to your goal in just a couple months. You're an inspiration to me, and I'm sure the rest of us, no matter...

I started this thread a while back and got these answers: http://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50292 My husband LOVES his wedding band because he's never worn jewelry, and titanium isn't...

Alnamvet, can you please go into more detail about the community health care course you're referring to? I have a BS in Psychology and am curious about options other than pursuing an ADN. Thanks!

I will be in the same situation as you but, after reading all of these posts, will probably wait at least until I'm just about done before we start trying (and I'm sure my husband will agree, but we...

I will be 29 when I graduate and also would like to have my first child during or very near to the end of the ADN program that I will start Spring of next year. I'm hoping more people will respond...

I can tell you that having a Bachelor's may not be all that it's cracked up to be, depending on which field it's in. I have a B.S. in Psychology that has gotten me nowhere. I have worked only in...
