   JustAboutRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Online Learning

   UOP is expensive! I think when I get done the total will be about 20K. My cost is the low end because I only had to take 4 classes (gen 300, A&P, college algebra, pharm) then nrsing classes. I have a previous degree which helped out with other ge...

   JustAboutRN replied to elladeedoy's topic in Nevada

   That's crazy to think that nurses are getting laid off. With the long standing shortage of nurses already, wouldn't that impact patient safety? I mean, there's already not enough staffing and now they are laying nurses off?? That makes no sense.

    I am interested in Mom/Baby nursing. I'd like to know how those of you in this area feel are the best/worst things about your job. Also, what type of additional experience/education did you need to get?
