    Lurkndmurk replied to Bossofa3yearold's topic in Nursing Career

    Lurkndmurk replied to TbistheMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely suggest doing community college for ADN- then find a job you love, work as an RN & a lot of employers will pay your tuition to get your BSN. Some only reimburse SOME amount of...

    Lurkndmurk replied to TbistheMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lurkndmurk replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Lurkndmurk replied to galaxygirl17's topic in General Nursing

    Not at my work place, we do have times where we cant use PTO because theres not enough staff OR too many people are using PTO at once. This year, just during the one week after xmas, no PTO gets...

    Lurkndmurk replied to Jeanette's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. New grad - best place to start?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Rionoir's topic in Psychiatric

    There is no reason IMO to do medsurg IF psych is where you want to be. When I was a new grad, i went straight into psych. No regrets.. A lot of my co-workers NEVER went to medsurg, & if they...
