Well, I just passed the NCLEX. All I got was a small letter from Pearson-Vue... No framable certificate? No card? No nothing? If that's all there is, then that's kind of lame for $300...
Taking the NCLEX was a deal I made with my parents. But, I have no desire to practice as a nurse, not even as a "backup" as many people have mentioned. I promised my parents I'd pass it so I took it and did.
Now I'm pursuing what I actually want to do (photography) professionally and am loving it. I was wondering if it were possible to combine my expertise... Do hospitals hire photographers on staff? I figured being an RN certainly wouldn't hurt my resume. I'd love to photo surgeries, wounds, babies (and for the babies that die, I figure parents would like GOOD photos to remember them by, not point-and-shoot, blurry, off-color, horrible photos by someone who can't even hold the camera steady). ... ever heard of or seen a hospital photographer? ...or do hospitals normally outsource temporarily for stuff like that?
