2. Is this salary range realistic?

   GlowBear500 replied to GlowBear500's topic in ADN/BSN

   Thank you guys! I understand that there is a big salary difference in different regions. I'm located in Tampa Bay, Florida and I saw the above mentioned salary range for a local RN job posting. Obviously, a new grad would never get offered the $90,00...

   I'm currently in Nursing School to get my RN license and I noticed something that is bothering me. Maybe I'm still naive, I just find it baffling to hear how it's almost seen as a given that doctors at times will be disrespectful to nurses. My profes...

   GlowBear500 posted a topic in Correctional

   After graduation I'm thinking about working at the local jail. But I'm wondering if it will be too tough for a new grad. So I'm basically asking have you seen new grads doing well in the correctional setting? What could I do to prepare myself? Is the...

10. LPN to BSN?

    GlowBear500 replied to abracadabra2886's topic in Online Learning

    Thank you Txspadequeen921 for sharing that information. I think that's probably the catch of these programs that they will charge you an arm and a leg for their material. It's good to know that befor you sign up. So I take it you didn't finish their ...

15. Suffering thru night shift position for your kids sake

    GlowBear500 replied to Nursesuzi's topic in General Nursing

    I am considering night shifts myself. But what I'm wondering is, can you work nights forever or does it eventually take a toll on your own health? What kind of nurses work nights in your hospital? Are there more younger ones or are there as many old...
