Hi there,

How are you? I am unimesh, currently working as a Environmental Manager in one of the Environmental Company in Upstate NY. I am in my mid 30's and was thinking to get a ADN from a community college and so on.

You are working as a RN so I thought I can get some info from you like:

# How is the nature of work? Do the RN has to deal with feces all the time?

# How much a fresh graduate can expect eg: hourly...I heard low twenty's in my locality but i am not sure.

# After working for number of years how the facilty give raise to the employee? 3% or some thing like that

# I want to work in Cardiac or ER so what is the scope for that?

Any advice or suggestion is welcome!

Thank you for your time.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I hope this doesn't come off offensively, but to me, it sounds like you are looking for a career that makes a lot of money with minimal amount of work. Your second and third questions deal with money, and your first and fourth are basically asking how much work you are going to have to do, and if you have to deal with feces. This is the wrong career if your first incentive is money.

So here are basic answers:

1.) It's hard work. It's a lot of work. Spend 15 minutes on here reading various posts and you will find this out. Yes, you will have to deal with feces. Please read the first post on this thread and see if you want to continue: What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story? - Nursing for Nurses

2.) No clue, and you'll be hard pressed to find someone who is going to tell you what they make. Salary.com works, but it isn't accurate. How much a year do you currently make? I wouldn't expect for you to share that information. It also depends on the type of hospital/area you live in/specialty you work in.

3.) How would anyone know how the facility hands out raises? First off, it's a recession. We are lucky if there are enough nurses on a floor, let alone to receive a raise. Second of all, there is not a blanket raise policy for every hospital. Question 2 and 3 are very company specific questions.

4.) Here is basic info on Cardiac Nursing and Emergency Nursing: Cardiac Nursing - Nursing for Nurses

Emergency Nursing - Nursing for Nurses

I would also check out the Student Nursing Forums and your local community college to start with checking out the admissions process. That's half the battle.
