  2. Career Change

    If I were you- I'd stay with accounting or look at other careers. There is NO nursing shortage or job stability as portrayed through the media and internet. Most professions are hit hard by the...
  3. In my opinion I think nurses really do probably get paid less that $8.50 after you realize how many jobs are factored in with the title RN. The employers might as well put -200 dollars at the end of...
  4. I'm wondering when the people who flame others for asking questions about salary will come in and post on this thread. You know, the ones who state God came to them at birth and sent them a "calling"...

  9. Is nursing a sick , petty , vindictive world?

    No, its not. I've only done clinicals and I can tell you I got treated BETTER working at a cashiering job (I worked there in my late teens) then I did on a 6 hour clinical in nursing school. Once a...

  11. Is nursing a sick , petty , vindictive world?

    yes. during my time in nursing school, I realized this quick. Nursing also uses a lot of the propaganda that the military uses(except in the military many people have a IDEA of how bad it will be). It...
  12. Life is too short to be this stressed

    the "happy smiling nurse" is a nurse thats a good actress. The other nurses who express their emotions rather not put on a front. No one can be happy being yelled , pooped on, exposed to countless...

  17. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    I recommend it if you enjoy being abused both physically and emotionally. You also have to enjoy being humilated while having a smile on your face. I don't recommend it if you have self respect,high...

    you haven't heard???? Ms Cleo is a fraud
  21. Oh no, you misunderstood. I just think its sad some of the things nurses and nursing students go through. Its not about being inadequate, if anyone had to deal with some of the things nurses do it...
  22. Its just sad that some people have to be on prescriptions(with no previous medical or mental illness) just to get to work. I mean I know most people don't like work but to feel that way and take meds...
