    Lpn's

    TEXASWAG replied to pettyfoot's topic in General Nursing

    So, what's your point? Are you trying to decide which program is right for you? Whether you decide to be an LPN or RN then by all means just go for it. Oh, and by the way most RN's I know are at...

    Im So Sick Of Hearing...

    TEXASWAG replied to kea6783's topic in General Nursing

    I work in critical care. Maybe it's just me but I really don't think of nursing as taking orders. The last time I took an order was when I was in the Navy. Yes, physicians write "orders" for the...

    Second Degree BSN

    TEXASWAG replied to SafeTman's topic in Home Health

    I finished a second degree program in 13 months. It was fast and intense but well worth it. Clinicals two times a week, plenty of reading material, and supportive instructors. We had a small class...

    TEXASWAG replied to seanymph's topic in Travel

    Dawn, Go for it! I've done 3 travel assignments in ICU. When I was a staff nurse, the travel nurses that I met seemed happy. Maybe I wasn't at the time, but that gave me the motivation to look up...

    Ever leave work crying?

    TEXASWAG replied to New CCU RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yep, I've left work and cried at home, in the car, in the shower, even at work in the restroom, and in the supply room. It's normal for you to cry. But you know what? You did the best job that you...

    are doctors more valued then nurses?

    TEXASWAG replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    Fergus51, Trust me most travel nurses do not make $35/hr. My first travel assignment was $21/hr. 40k as a new grad? I wish. Not in my former neck of the woods.

    are doctors more valued then nurses?

    TEXASWAG replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    Brown Rice, Ditto with another post. Nurses are underpaid because it's predominantly women. Doctors are valued more due to the prestige and maleness of the

    Listen, Nurse

    TEXASWAG replied to panda_181's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah when I read the poem I felt guilt too. Like why can't I be more attentive and do it all for my patients. I remember crying like an idiot one day at work because I just could not do it all....
