2. Finding a RN job in NYC

   nuwbee25 replied to charlotte2010's topic in General Nursing

   Hi there, you should probably try to complete some school before considering moving, as the job market in NYC will surely be different by then (in a good way!). What you can do for now is study hard and get a part time job at a hospital as a patient...

   I am just curious what do the students at the school call the school nurse? I think that children should respect their "elders" aka Mrs./Ms/Mr. but what about the 20 something year old nurses?? I am a nurse on a surgical floor now and I am trying t...

9. Entering Nursing School

   nuwbee25 replied to maria0202's topic in General Nursing

   So you are saying that the reason why hundreds of new nurses don't have jobs is because they aren't trying hard enough? You are very arrogant and have no clue what youre talking about. Why dont you wait until you're actually a nurse WORKING before ...

    nuwbee25 replied to dancer_meggs's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest...you sound confused. Why don't you try shadowing an OB nurse, pedi, or nicu nurse. You said you start your senior year of high school next year? I understand that when in high school many people are unsure of what they would like to ...
