2. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

   angel1188 replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

   Hello! Get your clinical experience under your belt, learn lots, work hard, you'll have great opportunities. Pharm, med tech, insurance companies pay well and the stress is quite lower than patient care, but of a different nature. Best wishes!

   You don't necessarily need either to get into CM. On your resume/application, highlight your experiences with pt education, health coaching, care coordination, and collaboration with different members of the Tx team. You can tell a prospective employ...

4. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

   angel1188 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

   Case Management might be a good fit for you. SW doesn't pay well, and options are limited. A nurse CM role though will incorporate your training and experience and you'll have normal hours and good pay. Best wishes 😀

5. How old is too old to become a new RN?

   angel1188 replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

   I think you should fulfill this goal. It sounds like it has always been in your heart and mind. Nursing is a 2nd profession for me and I was in my 30s in nursing school but in my class there were 2 ladies older than you. I even worked with a nurse w...

8. OB Clinicals

   angel1188 replied to angel1188's topic in General Students

   thanks for the input, everyone; its interesting how schools do it so differently. I am not panicking anymore but I will attempt to avoid that exam; from what I'm learning, in our text, it could be dangerous if you're not "a skilled practitioner" .......

10. OB Clinicals

    angel1188 replied to angel1188's topic in General Students

    I appreciate your responses; I'm really anxious about it and I don't want to do it after school. I was very assertive in my other clinicals but this one; not feeling that way! I hope mine turns out to be observational mostly too. Thanks again! A.:nu...
