  1. Nurse considering law school

    kristie778 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm an RN, BSN thinking about law school. I'm interested because I see it as being intellectually stimulating and possibly a good career move. I'm a little hesitant because I realize the job...

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks RiskManager for the info - I looked it up, and the state where I live (CA) does have the possibility of studying under a sponsoring lawyer, but it appears that the bar pass rate for those...

    Not_a_Hat_Person, RN, thanks for the info and the links to articles. I have to admit, hearing that one of your sisters waited tables after law school scares me. I guess that I would at least have...

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Wrench Party for your response. Good comparison between law and a Ph.D. Neither are a sure thing! That's an interesting idea to get a masters in a related field. I have an MPH, but not sure...

    Thanks SubSippi for your response - I am glad to know at least the ones who founds jobs enjoy it! I read that the depression and alcoholism rate is higher amongst attorneys than the general...

  13. Nurse considering law school

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    @RiskManager: I read your other thread, that is good info. I guess I could work in Risk Management without a law degree, but thought it would be really valuable (not sure Risk would be my area of...

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    @ flyersfan88: Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the info about the pay scale - it's hard to find info from "real people" about that, and apparently it's really variable, so that's good to know....

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    @xoemmylouox - Thanks for responding to my question. That is good info - I was hoping to work in a health care related niche to use my nursing background. It doesn't sound too cushy from what you...

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    @ Scuzzamus85: Thank you for taking the time to write me back. I am also considering LNC. I guess that I thought there would be higher salaries for attorneys, but not sure that is truly the case -...

    kristie778 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    @ SchoolDistrictNurse: Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Interesting to hear how things went for your son. While doing my research I have noticed that is not an uncommon theme!...

  18. The nursing shortage is nonexistent

    kristie778 replied to pnmia10's topic in General Nursing

    You nailed it!! It's too bad that hospitals don't hire enough nurses to actually take good care of patients. If there was less stress/better working conditions, I have to think that would solve the...

  19. MPH considering nursing PhD

    kristie778 replied to mabeltoo's topic in Post Graduate Students

    s4bell1, I also have a RN-BSN and recently graduated with my MPH, and I was wondering the same thing. I noticed some PhD nursing programs require an MSN, and there are other programs that are BSN to...

  20. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    kristie778 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    First off, I no longer work as a bedside nurse because I was "imaginative" enough to find a completely different field that suits me. However, I can still state my opinion about nursing as a career,...

  21. Nursing or X-ray

    kristie778 replied to Juzmi's topic in Nursing Career

    It does make sense. Actually, a long while ago there was someone on this forum who was an RN, RDH, and she said she got her associates in dental hygiene, then became an RN. She worked as a hygienist...

  22. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    kristie778 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    SO true!! It really is hard to get out...and a lot of other nurses are trying to do something "better" so that is why there are so many people competing for master's level programs in nursing, and...

  23. Please don't eat your young.

    kristie778 replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken, and I agree that there was some sound advice, but it was mixed in with comments about how "those new grads have an attitude and expect us to do their work for them." That is just...

  24. Nursing or X-ray

    kristie778 replied to Juzmi's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, dental hygienists often make more money than nurses, and have Mon-Thurs., day time office jobs. Not to mention they only deal with one orifice! Obviously, nursing has "options" but make sure at...

  25. I want to quit....

    kristie778 replied to RNTEX's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry you're having to deal with this! Did you sign the contract with a notary public and/or a witness? When I signed a similar contract as a new nurse, they made us sign it with a notary public...
