lifestyle of a RN

when you get into nursing, you will see why so many leave nursing.....it's not for the fainthearted.

Amen to that, girl!

While I am grateful for having the ability to work, and to become a nurse, I do think that pay for nurses is NOWHERE where it needs to be. My degree is allowing me to move to a nice, warm location, and allowing my dh to take some time off from a job he we desperately burnt out on. That's a good thing. Now, when my dh gets a job, it will be better all around. But not for now.

Im looking for credit cards now too, I have been working a week so far and want to get a credit card. I have one with my parents but now that I am making my first paycheck, I can only use thiers for groceries and dry cleaning and things for them (I help out a lot since my mom is disabled). But now I have my own job finally and want to have my finances in order.

I get what you all are saying about credit cards being bad, but I also need to BUILD credit so I can tink about buying a house one day and all that type of stuff.

Im looking at an ANA credit card, RN magazine Mastercard, or one through my bank at Wachovia to keep all my money in one place.. I have a checking account that my paycheck goes into, but I also want to set up a savings account. Although after my first 90 days or something my hospital will have some sort of matching program on savings.
