  1. Re-training to become a nurse--is it worth the sacrifice?

    HARRN2b replied to GraceNotes's topic in General Nursing

    I am right there with you. I am going back and the way I look at it I may have to work forever, and we will always need nurses in some capacity. Also, I like the flexibility. I like the challenge...

  2. Traumatized by first patient passing

    HARRN2b replied to rds007's topic in General Nursing

  3. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    HARRN2b replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I will just have to get a facelift. Do not want to but cannot afford to face age discrimination. My aunt had to get one to still look young and youthful to keep in the employment market....

  4. please vote--change career mid life?

    HARRN2b replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    I have started at midlife. I can work as many years as my health will allow me and at some stage I would like to do travel. Nursing gives me many opportunities. I worked in marketing for a fortune...

    HARRN2b replied to belleellis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HARRN2b replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Zoe, Thank you so much for your blessings. I think we all need them on some days. Life can be demanding and stressful! Hugs,

  8. "Don't Send Anyone Out!"

    HARRN2b replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OMG! A senior spends that kind of money and the facility could care less about their health. What country are you

  9. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    HARRN2b replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Friends, It is not just nurses suffering from depression and mental illness. It is our entire American society. I really do not know why. I was discussing this with a friend who is writing a...

  10. Lapband Expiriences -- Pros and Cons

    HARRN2b replied to SilentfadesRPA's topic in General Nursing

    It is unfortunate that in America many are having to travel to Mexico to have medical treatments. Chapala.com is a site used by many retirees who have moved to Mexico. Many of them can no longer...

  11. Nurses and money.......

    HARRN2b replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    It is part of our society and it has taken me a long time to learn this. We are vastly influenced by marketing and the big companies know this! For example, I live in a rich county. When I meet...

  12. R.N. Vs. Masters in Nursing

    HARRN2b replied to surfergirl's topic in California Nursing

    What is a nurse with a masters degree doing? NP? CRNA? Anything

  13. Very hard day...pt today was a young mother with ALS

    HARRN2b replied to Lisky90's topic in General Nursing

    Lisky, That is so sad. I am just a student but it would be so hard to be her nurse. I just hope that you can help make her find a little peace. I cannot imagine. I also have 3 beautiful children....

  14. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    HARRN2b replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. O, I have about had it with my prereq's. It is pointless. I do believe chem is VERY important. It is the way it is being taught that I take issue with. Here is a question from my test today:...

  15. Drug Testing At Hospitals

    HARRN2b replied to crazylilkelly's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, your employer wants to know everything about you these days. Besides a drug test (which I can understand) they also want to run a credit check. This tells them your mortgage payment,...

  16. kids and being Nurse

    HARRN2b replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with above poster. You can have it all, but at different times. I am going back to school now, but am older. I had less energy in my 20's and 30's not to mention horrible pms. I no longer...

  17. PA vs. NP

    HARRN2b replied to at2726's topic in General Nursing

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is a shorter duration to become a PA. I called a private college here that has a PA program and it is 3 years. Now, it is 2-3 years ( after prereq's) to...

  18. RN with huge medical debt, looking for high paying work

    HARRN2b replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    I also would file bankrupcy before working in Iraq. I might consider Saudi if I was single and felt safe. I would not stay for ever but I think it would be so interesting! Never never Iraq,...

  19. University of Indianapolis

    HARRN2b replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana Nursing

    New mom, I attended one of Marion's informational meetings. They told us that there is much more competition for the ADN degree. That makes sense as the cost of the BSN is greater (and longer to get)....

  20. expired classes

    HARRN2b replied to clairedeauville's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a couple of people in my class that are retaking due to classes expiring. One also had to take A&P over as her transcript did not list that she had a lab coupled with the class during...

  21. Lost a baby today

    HARRN2b replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You poor dear. You have had a rough day and are grieving. I know it would affect me terribly. I have 3 wonderful children and this would tear me apart. That said, my heart tells me that I want to...

  22. RN with huge medical debt, looking for high paying work

    HARRN2b replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    Stay out of the middle east, at least for now. Current tensions way too high. I would have liked to travel there, but not now (or ever if tensions do not reduce). Really, its too bad, since that...

  23. University of Indianapolis

    HARRN2b replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana Nursing

    New mom, Have you looked into Marion college. They do not have a wait list. It appears fairly easy to get in. I just cannot justify the cost, as they are also expensive. You might call them as...

    HARRN2b replied to ejmonroe's topic in Emergency

    HARRN2b replied to new_mom26's topic in General Nursing

    New mom, I am in Indianapolis. My FIL was at St. V's on 86th street. I did not go when my husband got the call about his father. My baby was sick at the time. This was about 8 years ago. I,...
