Okay, I have to share my story. It did take me 7 total years to finish nursing school (pre-reqs and all) I am now 39 and I still remember my first college course, Okay it wasnt even a college course, I called it dummy math,I couldnt pass the al...

Im sorry but you really should get a second opinion. I see MANY, MANY nurses at my facility that are 100+ pounds overweight and are still working as nurses, The health problems you mentioned plague many nurses as well. Do not let one MD change your ...

Sorry pardon my frank statement, but dont read this forum if you are so against talking salary. This is an OPEN forum and most of us enjoy seeing what the national salary range is. It is NO secret.

"I have made a conscious effort lately to change my attitude at work. I am usually very hard on myself, trying to get everything done right away. I see myself racing up & down hallways, for example. So last shift I decided "I can only do what I c...

Friends of mine took advantage of their much loved position of nursing (twelve hour days) and when they went part time and then wanted their twelve hour day position back a new grad snatched that position up quickly. I am finding that there is a n...

With these HIPPA laws we are so limited to what we can even tell these families. I pretty much tell them all the same "Mom or Dad slept well and is currently resting comfortable, the doc's havent been here yet, yadda, yadda, yadda. Im here all da...

What I believe the prior post is referring to is the weekend or some call "the bayer" program. You work every weekend , but get paid for a full weeks work thus is where the 42 dollars an hour comes from. There are several hospitals that offer this...

Just my two cents: If I had to do it all over again I would go for Radiology. You dont have to put up with AS much Bull$%It that nurses do and it is a rewarding career financially. Just my two cents>
