   Should I quit nursing school?

   Sumdaymurse replied to girl.in.blue's topic in Online Learning

   This is exactly what I needed to hear! I love writing in general and have even started on a mini poem book which is coming along quite nicely (though, I don't know what will become of it). But I do struggle often with the prospect that a degree in En...

   What motivates you to pursue Nursing?

   Sumdaymurse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello, So, up until this point I have been decently motivated to continue pursuing nursing as a career. Then I started human anatomy! With everything I’m required to learn and memorize...it’s just so daunting. I NEED to take and do well in this ...

   I'm a nurse, and believe it or not, I want to be a tech/assistant

   Sumdaymurse replied to Uhs_769's topic in General Nursing

   I enjoy this topic. I have been thinking about which nursing specialty would best fit my personality or which specialty I might enjoy. Home health came to mind. What are the requirements for working "private duty", or home health? Would it be possibl...

   First day of cna and it’s rough

   Sumdaymurse replied to Helpmelol's topic in CNA/MA

   Breath. Are you working in a long term care facility? Those are not fun. Apply at a hospital, its a totally different pace. They should be giving you more time if you don't feel ready and if you've vocalized that. Hospitals hire new grads. I was hire...

   Sumdaymurse replied to nets5010's topic in General Nursing

   Im a cna, my coworkers and I just spent a good portion of the night trying to restrain a combative patient..it was not fun. There was blood, yelling, punching, kicking, you name it. I still want to be a nurse though. Of course some nights are just te...

   Sumdaymurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello there, I am still essentially a new grad with only one month experience as a CNA in a LTC facility. I just got hired as a CNA on a Tele unit at night (7p-730a). While I am very excited, I am still quite anxious! The manager said my patient load...

   I just really like this. This is exactly what I and many prospective nurses apparently have been doing. Coming from you, a nurse, it means a lot! Thank you.

    Sumdaymurse replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    My job is 24 hours 365 like hospitals due to the pharmaceuticals we make (IV's among other things), 3 12's make the most sense as far as scheduling goes I guess. I love it! ONE of the reasons I dig nursing. Yes a pre-nursing student! I would be EXTRE...

    Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Sumdaymurse replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    For me its the hours, pay, flexibility, and the possibility of OT. In my current job I work 3(12's) one week and 4(12's) the next, I LOVE LOVE LOVE, my schedule!! I get decent pay for a relatively "easy" job that I have been doing for 10 years. I jus...

    I find that this is a common complaint from a lot of nurses. Feeling like they wish they had chosen an easier route. Do you feel that achieving your BSN was worth it though?
