  1. I think I'm done with nursing.

    My thoughts exactly...
  2. I think I'm done with nursing.

    Lol!!!
  3. The nurses and practitioners in my family have always pushed us to keep moving up the ladder. If I had the means, I would have gone straight through, but, that's just me. Its quite educational to see the points of view of my peers. Agree or disagre...
  4. Well, I personally think is just fine to go nursing school with no intention of practicing in a clinical setting. If that was my choice, I would choose not to go become a PA because nursing gives you more choices. My cousin was gonna go to PA scho...
  5. Well, first, I'm not angry. :-). I'm not here to attack anyone, even if we disagree. Ok? And Secondly, I dont think that you and I disagree. I agree with your point of view. I thought your points were valid, and right on point. Well, except for me b...
  6. Wow! Nurses can do more than bed side care. Jeez. Is it a crime if bed side care is not what you want to do. What about nurses that go right into imformatics? They are not real nurses? A friend of mine had a bs in biology, went right into research af...

  11. Maybe I'm in the minority, but it wouldn't bother me what specialty someone wants to work. After all, its their license. I think its a personal choice. If, for some reason there is no room for them, their skills will transfer into another specialty....
  12. Pateint care tech?

    You're welcome. Just remember that, no matter what route you take, it shouls be based off what YOU need and not others. Try to just use other people's experience as a guide. Don't sweat the small stuff. Pick one. You can't go wrong either way.
  13. Pateint care tech?

    Sounds like you work at one of the better hospitals. Lucky you. :-)
  14. Pateint care tech?

    Both have their advantages. Hospitals will often hire EMTs, Medical Assistants, and Patient Care Tech for entry level positions. You cant go wrong. If your goal is to become a nurse, all of these will help you get used to acute care, give you flexib...
