    NewJA posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    issue resolved - and no useful information in my posts, hence no need for it

  2. My doubts about a future in nursing

    NewJA posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll preface this by saying that I did not write this as a solid pragraph. Having spent some time trying to figure out why it's not keeping my breaks, I'll just have to go and post it as it is...

  3. My doubts about a future in nursing

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in General Nursing

    I am reposting the original post to see if I can get paragraph breaks. Someone suggested that I edit it, but I don't see an edit option for these forums. Thanks all for the feedback. I have decided...

  4. My doubts about a future in nursing

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed, the kind of person even capable of the sincerity and compassion that I would automatically need to bring with me to nursing, as I bring it with me everywhere, would have their spirit stifled,...

  6. Revisiting the question of shift times:

    NewJA posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I posted this in the Cali forum also, in an attempt to get info about the situation there also, since that is probably where I would work after nursing school. I am wondering what are the commonly...

  7. Shift availability for nurses in Cali (& elsewhere)

    NewJA posted a topic in California Nursing

    I am wondering what are the commonly available shifts for nurses in California, and in the nation in general. This is crucial to me, because I am starting a bachelor's nursing program in January and...

  8. New nurses: night shift to day shift?

    NewJA replied to Angie_Baby's topic in General Nursing

    nursemomceo, you are saying that you get an extra 15% above base pay for floating, and this somehow puts you in the high 30's. are you talking about thousands per year, or dollars per hour? i...

  9. New nurses: night shift to day shift?

    NewJA replied to Angie_Baby's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Med school would probably cost you at least 150,000 out of pocket and would take approximately 10-12 years from when you first start school, not to mention the extremely competitive and...

  10. New nurses: night shift to day shift?

    NewJA replied to Angie_Baby's topic in General Nursing

    Some of this information sounds incredibly incongruous with the typical statistics and conditions in nursing around the country. It is hard to believe that there is a place where the abundance of...

  11. Revisiting the question of shift times:

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The question has been clarified now. I am a top advocate of "never say never", so that is merely an expression used for emphasis in this case. I can not know what I will be able or want to do in 2 or...

  12. Ethics question for Arizona Nurses

    NewJA posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the help! I've pretty much obsessively studied the book for the past week, and I also asked the AZ nursing board about which agency nurses report to for these types of issues, although as...

    NewJA posted a topic in California Nursing

    I keep seeing some mention of "ratios" in the "everybody moving to California" thread. But I have not seen any explanation of what that means. I'm wondering if someone could tell me. Also I am...

    NewJA posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I was just hoping that some of you might be able to give me an idea of what is the typical starting income for R.N.s with an ADN in NY - particularly the Rochester area (western NYS)? Thank you,

  15. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in California Nursing

    When you feel like complaining, just think of how much worse things could be, and that should brighten you right up. If the patient is not at risk, then don't complain. If the patient is at risk,...

  16. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in California Nursing

    In other words the law is very clear, and not open to deliberate abuse. Good, all the more reason for me to try to live in California... Although that looks highly improbably based on all of my...

  18. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Globe is a tiny desert mining town, last time I was there (3 yrs ago). Desert = no snow. The "pass" through the mountains into Globe is hardly a pass at all, and they barely qualify as mountains....

  20. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    NewJA replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    I agree, as long as you mean in the US when you all say wherever you go. I haven't gone myself to prove it yet, but I am convinced that there has to be some countries in this world where people treat...

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    lol, more good stuff supporting my own feelings on their system. Among so many other things that stand out as absurd, foremopst is the fact that with such a severe shortage of nurses, I would think...
