natalciapl 60 Posts Jul 25, 2012 Yes thank you, you really have to want it to make it , I'm not super smart but starting nursing school when I didn't even know what a foley catheter is was not easy. A lot of sleepiness nights and sacrificing but defiantly worth it if u willing to give it all!
natalciapl 60 Posts Jul 25, 2012 Thank you :) I sure am going to make a great nurse! And def not the ones that always wine and complain!!!
KimberlyRN89, BSN, RN 1,641 Posts Specializes in Med-Surg/urology. Jul 25, 2012 Congrats!! I am in the DC area, and one of the nurses at my job is also from New Jersey. She goes back home & works in Jersey on the weekend. I don't know what area she is located in but she said she makes about $26/hr doing home health.

Anne36, LPN 1,360 Posts Jul 27, 2012 Yes, Congrats! I just passed my nclex too. Ive been a longtime lurker in here and it feels weird to be part of the nursing crowd now. Good luck finding work, I havent even applied for my first job yet.
