   Hey, everyone! I'm looking to apply for a position at Baylor Scott and White's Brenham location later this year. I'm having trouble finding details on application dates, though. Does anyone have any input? Also, perhaps a silly question, but wou...

   Aprilj09 posted a topic in Oregon

   Hi, everyone! Just as the title says, graduation with my ADN/BSN is getting close and I want to know about experiences with nurse residencies in Oregon. DM me if you'd rather not publicly post about a particular hospital. Also, does anyone ...

3. Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

   Aprilj09 replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you! Social work has always been a passion of mine! However, my husband practically staged an intervention with me about it, telling me that ANY career BUT social work was a good option for us. He's right, though, as we do live in a red state, ...

   Oh, goodness. I wish I had totally dismissed money from my post. I've always been drawn to helping, educating, and taking care of people. I've worked in a hospital, and I don't like the environment. I've just always dreamed of working in a doctor's o...

   I hear you, and this is something I've struggled with for a while, that is, whether nursing is for me or not. Truth be told, I took a semester of nursing pre-reqs last year, but then started doubting myself (even though I made A's) and switched to Ed...

   Yes, I appreciate all of your feedback! I would totally take a pay cut if it meant having a more low-key job. Pay is least important to me. Also, you confirmed my suspicions about the more education, the better the opportunities.

   Thank you for your response! Honestly, I'd totally take a pay cut if it meant a low stress job. Low stress away from the bedside sounds amazing to me. I totally had a feeling that some experience at the bedside must be gained before moving into a dif...

    Hello, all! After working in clerical hospital roles in multiple facilities and having an up close view of what nurses do on a daily basis, I have realized that I would DREAD working bedside in a hospital. I'm wondering, though, is it possible just t...
