2. Stunned by Potential Employer

   LaZarca replied to oldenurselady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I had something like that happen a few years ago. I applied and interviewed for a full time position in the ER. It went well but when they called to offer me a position, they offered me a part time...

3. Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

   LaZarca replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   What I can't understand is why she wants to continue this. If I lost my license and faced consequences like her, I would want to fade out of publicity, start fresh, and just lie low the rest of my...

4. Can't Find My Calling

   LaZarca replied to Genesis_BSN_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I've been in this for almost 4 years and I thought I had found my calling but then it didn't turn out to be so. For now, I've abandoned the prospect of a "dream job" and just decided to explore...

5. Media: Where are the Nurses?

   LaZarca replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   The new show Nurses was pretty inaccurate. I was so disappointed. Have you seen Chicago Med though? I love how they portray the nurses. I would love to see a show about a float pool nurse. Let the...

6. Help! I can't stop looking at new RN openings and wanting to jump ship

   LaZarca replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

   It might look greener, but it could be hiding some nasty spiders. I signed on for a 10k bonus and learned very quickly why it was so high. I left that job after a few months and had to pay it back. I...

   LaZarca replied to peblevins's topic in Health, Stress Management

8. I Have No Sense of Direction

   LaZarca replied to LaZarca's topic in Nursing Career

   I am hating it. I'm so sick of the way we are treated and the ridiculous workloads. When you include my time as a CNA, I've done this kind of work for about 7

9. I Have No Sense of Direction

   LaZarca replied to LaZarca's topic in Nursing Career

10. When did you know what you wanted to do?

    LaZarca replied to Nueticles's topic in General Specialties

    My story is a bit pessimistic so I hope this doesn't discourage you. My original dream was to be an ICU nurse and go onto CRNA. I love Chemistry, I loved the intense stuff, and I had a great...

11. I Have No Sense of Direction

    LaZarca posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I was 11 years old when I figured out I wanted to be a nurse. I had a strong mentor throughout my journey, so I always had someone to coach me through it. I got my CNA in high school, got my ADN in...

12. Should I Specialize?

    LaZarca replied to Ellie Kearney's topic in General Specialties

    I used to dream of ICU nursing. Never got an opportunity. After working through the pandemic, I don't feel so enticed anymore. I also have a family now and I don't have the energy to keep doing...
