    Ayeloflo replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    Ayeloflo replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    That's because many nurses work so hard, barely take lunch breaks, get subjected to abuse and nothing is done about it. On top of that many pray just to be able to keep their jobs for another day. It...

  8. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    Ayeloflo replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    O-chem and Biochem are premed. Many nurses have to take them for BSN. Okay you are kidding, right? Are you implying that people go into nursing cos they were not capable of scoring A's in premed...

    Ayeloflo replied to Frosty08's topic in Home Health

    Ayeloflo replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Scary. I saw one of those kinds of scheduling for correction nursing jobs. And I thought: what! Meaning you can't do two jobs with that kind of schedule and it's not even top pay. I'm not surprised...

    Ayeloflo replied to rainbowsandsunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  14. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    Ayeloflo replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    I enjoy reading about why you are considering the medicine route. You have exposure to healthcare so I'm sure you know what you are looking for. The reason is that some people think that just because...

    Ayeloflo replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

  20. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    Ayeloflo replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    Cinquefoil, it's because I don't want to sound as though DO is for nurses who want to study medicine. I'm yet to learn more about the DO program. Some medical students try to make it seem as such on...

  24. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    Ayeloflo replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    How do you feel about procedures MDs do that you want to do, but are not able to do because nursing limits you? How do you feeling about having to follow MD orders (being told what to do and having...
