  1. I am going back to school online at 48. I have been a nurse for 11 years and I hold a ADN since 2005. I never got the urge to get my BSN because I am good at my job and I make more money than the BSN nurses. I have been lucky I guess. Anyhow, th...
  2. No, not at all. I became a nurse when I was 37. I am 48 now and going back to school for FNP. When I started nursing school I was pregnant with my first and second kids. Imagine how much fun that was? I actually saw my baby moving inside of my bell...
  3. Looking for Guidance on Mistake

    You are a nurse not God, there is just so much you can do. You did the right thing. These teenage kids will learn their way to deal with problems. Don't feel bad. The parents of these kids should feel bad. It is their responsibility to raise their ...
  4. Walden University for FNP, any suggestions?

    I am just going to get the FNP and get a job in the medspa. My goal is to be able to inject my clients without getting clearances from NP. I also probably take a job in a low T clinic as well. Since I already have the experience, it will not be a pro...
  5. Walden University for FNP, any suggestions?

    I think I can find preceptors or hospitals to take me in since I have some connections. We have a lot of facilities and hospitals in Dallas, Tx, right? I also know a few NPs who had gone through this. I am a total introvert but no one can tell becau...
  6. How old is too old to become a new RN?

    Depends on how you feel. Do you feel like a 56 years old? Do you move slow and immobile? If you are still active and you like to stay active, no age is too old. I am 48 but I feel like 25. People say I look like in 30. I am planning on going back t...
  7. 10 year old died after I performed CPR

    You had done everything you could have done to try to save his life. If there was a AED, maybe he would have a better chance. Bless your heart. Don't feel bad.
  8. Feeling like the dumbest nurse on earth

    I think you are very smart to get to learn all these stuff. I have been a nurse for 11 years. I have no clue what you are talking about. I am not kidding. There are different levels of nurses on earth. Some nurses are specialized in ER, ICU, they do...
  9. Hourly or Salary

    $30 to $35 per hour usually as needed but have a certain hours in a week that are opened to schedule clients in. If the RN knows how to do laser or microderm or chemical peel, she can be hired as part time. Probably cheaper to hire the RN as PRN (as...
  10. Got a coming up interview, Please help!

    I need urgent help please! I am going to have an interview in 2 days and I am wondering if anyone can give me some pointers. I have been a nurse for 10 years. I have 2 years of med/surg and 8 years of preop/PACU experience. I am wondering what they ...
  11. Got a coming up interview, Please help!

    Thanks for your tips. I went there a bit early and I noticed they had scheduled nurses back to back for interviews. : ( I really didn't know there were so many nurses apply for this "ONE" and only "ONE" position. SAD.... They asked me questions t...
  12. National laser institute-worth it or not?

    Have your checked Empire Medical Training out yet? I took their classes in Texas. About $3000 and you can take as many classes you want in 2 years. That will include Dermal fillers, botox, advance botox, PRP, Sclerotherapy, laser hair removal. Chec...
  13. Just had an interview at a med spa!!

    It really depends on what products and brands your doctors like to use. Some spas like to use Botox over Dysport and they come in different units. It is not like one product is better than the other. It is just doctors' preference. For fillers, li...
  14. I have 8 years of experience as a med/surg and PACU nurse. I am very bored with my job and I would like to go into aesthetic nursing. I am wondering which filler/botox injection classes are good with reasonable tuition fee. I want to go to a reputat...
  15. New RN with 10 years of experience as esthetician

    I think you are already way ahead of "us" who have tons of experience as med/surg or general nurses but zero experience to do any botox injection. Anyhow, I don't know much about this field but I do know that most spas love nurses who can do botox as...
  16. Help I have a HH interview this Friday

    Hi there, I am new in the HH field. I have been a nurse for 8 years and I have worked in the hospital, rehab, ambulatory surgery centers and nursing homes.... I love your detailed answer to TrendzRN. I am trying to learn and absorb all the knowled...
  17. I just saw a post in our school district hiring board for school nurse. I am interested in doing that because I am tired and sick of the RNs at my work. Always so lazy and unmotivated. My boss also does not let us take vacation longer than 1 week (e...
  18. I am trying to change my specialty, is it possible?

    Thank you for your info. It is encouraging to hear that. I will keep trying.
  19. For those that work per diem-when do you work?

    How about home health. My friend is working PRN Home Health now. She said they pay about $40/visit and the time is pretty flexible. Sometimes, she said she just have to go in to take vital sign and that's it.
  20. I am trying to change my specialty, is it possible?

    Good idea. I am going to see if I can find some sub job. Kissing up to the teacher maybe easier at least, I don't see them talking behind my back. My coworkers and my boss always make fun of me (even though I have worked there for 5 years) and make...
  21. June 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Doctor: Oh boy, how can it ended on the floor? I might as well hang myself with this. Nurse: It is still cleaner than the tie that you worn to see your patients everyday!
  22. this is a true story ..vent .. wowzers .. crazy

    I don't have anger issues. My issue is people should consider this as a job, go in and do your job instead of trying to calculate how many patients you get and how many other nurses don't get. Get over it. If you don't get any patient this time, you...
  23. this is a true story ..vent .. wowzers .. crazy

    seriously Bullies? nurses? Sometimes I can't tell the difference at my work. To me most nurses = Bullies. I don't know why people have to be so controlling and trying to argue about anything and everything. Everything is so "unfair" to them. Then...
  24. Angry Nurse here!

    i was trying to add on to that poster who said put chocolate covered raisins for him. I said put some rabbit poop in the chocolate covered raisin bag.Thats even better!
  25. Nurse Esthestian is it worth it?

    HouTx, I believe we are in the same state but I am North of you. You know, we have a high demand in cosmetic surgeries, rejuvenation stuff. So I guess people like us would be in demand. And like you say, I think I should consider working with some m...
