  1. Is the pay really that bad??

    Well, excuse me for offending you. But it kind of offends me when people complain about having to work an extra shift so that they can be comfortable enough to buy a fancy car, buy clothes, take...
  2. Is the pay really that bad??

    So what would you be doing if you weren't a nurse? If 20-27 an hour is so bad try making 10-12 an hour and supporting your kids, even a shift or 2 of overtime doesn't get you enough to pay all of the...

  9. Is the pay really that bad??

    I definitely agree that nobody should go into it just for the money. If my heart wasn't in it, I wouldn't be pursuing it. I started out in college 6 years ago wanting be a nurse, but got caught up in...
  10. Thank you all for your replies. I'm so glad to hear that there are people that have made it work. But also sad that there are some that haven't. If I do end up working nights, I would probably only...
  11. Hi! I am currently taking my pre and co requisite courses for the nursing program and am hoping to be able to join the program by next fall with all of the other classes out of the way. I've been...
