   I just wanted to throw in an update: I was just offered a school nurse position in my area! I am so excited. It's a big cut in pay, but I think it will be so worth it. It looks like I'll be in a somewhat rural area outside of medium sized city. I don...

2. Change of Heart

   The job postings say BSN preferred. I'm currently working on my BSN classes, so I'm hoping that will help. I think the kind of stress that you describe is preferred to the current stress of my job. I know it may not be perfect every day and it will ...

   Thank you all for being so helpful! I looked into becoming a sub, but they require you to be on call for 2 shifts a week. I just can't do that and continue to work my job, or quit my job and only be a sub. It looks like I'd have to dive right into a ...

   Hi everyone. I'm writing this out of extreme frustration and pure burn out. I am a critical care float pool nurse. I've only been a nurse for a little over a year, but I am already burnt out from getting dumped on by the ICU and ER. I have learned so...

   That would be awesome. I am interested in a head start for sure! I have my CPR but it expires this time next year so I don't know if they'll want me to renew it now or next summer. I think I'll start doing that stuff after orientation so they can ex...

    Hi everyone! Hope we'll be hearing back soon!! I wanted to make a post about a note taking software I just started playing with that I LOVE. It's called Evernote and it's free and you can use it on any device (Android, iOS, web) It's a really nice wa...

12. ADVICE NEEDED! Fall Semester Dilema

    ambz13 replied to PinkEagle's topic in Maryland

    You may want to consider holding off and waiting for Spring 2015 since you would be starting nursing school with way more stress with the situation you described. Ultimately you're choice, but if it were me I'd try to save money up and wait to try to...

    AmyRN that's terrible! I'm assuming you were told that they were 20-somethings? Sorry to hear and hope you get into your specialty in the future. I understand 20-somethings get a bad rep with high turnover and inexperience, but I don't think it's fa...
