  1. want to help an MA friend

    nurse2b2010 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I guess it's all a matter of perspective, right?! Considering that I haven't had a good paying job since I moved to Upstate NY from AZ, the salary an RN makes here would seem pretty good to me....

  2. Am I really cut out for this career?

    nurse2b2010 replied to FutureRN1908's topic in General Nursing

    your description of the nursing profession brings hope to me. I have read a lot of negative things on here about nursing, and it kind of scares me. I have returned to school in Jan 07 this year to...

  3. want to help an MA friend

    nurse2b2010 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    well, I would say if she was "promised" that amount after her 90 day probation, the doctor should come through, but sometimes people just don't keep their promises for one reason or another. Perhaps,...

  4. For all the nurses that want to quit...

    nurse2b2010 replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are experiencing such disillusionment. It kind of scares me since I am planning on entering the Fall 08 nursing progam and am excited about becoming a nurse. With that said, however,...

  5. Nursing as a CAREER

    nurse2b2010 replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

    I THINK I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE and I am a pre-nursing student, but I wouldn't want an attitude of a doctor or a boyfriend like that! Where would the medical profession be without good

  6. What do nurses do when they are sick?

    nurse2b2010 replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    Ebear, I noticed you are a Legal Nurse Consultant. Did you have to get further education aside from RN to do this. Just curious. And do you work in a hospital or a law firm? have 20 years of legal...

  7. Nurses and Mental Illness

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's not easy dealing with those afflicted with bipolar, but believe me, it's not easy for the afflicted either! What area of nursing do you specialize in? How long have you been an RN? Just...

  8. stresses and depression in the health workplace.

    nurse2b2010 replied to naturalized's topic in General Nursing

    So if it seems that nurses have their share of "nasty co-workers", does this mean that a caring sensitive person who would make a good nurse because they are compassionate and caring should not pursue...

  10. Nurses and Mental Illness

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Nursing

    Very good question!

  11. Nurses and Mental Illness

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks - I understand what you are saying. I too have suffered with depression since 1991 (and before then - just never diagnosed until then). But, I wasn't actually diagnosed as bi-polar until...

  12. Nurses and Mental Illness

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Nursing

    There is something more frustrating - being the person diagnosed with the illness and having to deal with it for the rest of your life. Sorry, guess you hit a raw nerve! I realize the meds are...

  13. So I'm fired. Again.

    nurse2b2010 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry. Believe me, I know how you feel. It's a heartbreaking experience and your self esteem takes a big blow. It takes a while to recover, or at least it did for me. As as much as you try...

  14. What area of care do most new graduate nurses get put into?

    nurse2b2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student. Hopefully being accepted this spring into the Fall 08 program. Just curious about what area most new graduates are placed. Is it med surg or can new grads pick an area...

  15. What area of care do most new graduate nurses get put into?

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Amy for the great advice. I am now curious about why new grads are so much in demand when they don't have the experience that the other nurses have? Why is that? Of course, I am glad to hear...

  16. Nursing shortage: A myth?

    nurse2b2010 replied to blacksea pebble's topic in General Nursing

    When I decided to go to nursing school, there were two issues I was concerned with: (1) my age (48 and re-entering school) and (2) whether there would still be as great a need for nurses as there is...

  17. Still wanna be a nurse at 40++

    nurse2b2010 replied to leuqar1117's topic in International Nursing

    That's encouraging to hear since I'm finishing up my pre-reqs and plan to enter nursing school this Fall (if I am accepted). Only class right now I am struggling with is Chem 101. How much chemistry...

  18. "Maybe you shouldn't be a nurse"

    nurse2b2010 replied to krazy_coconuts's topic in General Nursing

    Pelsmith, can I ask why people would tell you you shouldn't be a nurse? Just curious. I suppose I am curious because I am pre-nursing and I just wonder what kind of reasons people give to say you...

  19. "Maybe you shouldn't be a nurse"

    nurse2b2010 replied to krazy_coconuts's topic in General Nursing

    Rage, your message caught my attention because I am an older pre-nursing student (48 years old) (and hopefully getting in this Fall 08). You're right - I think you (the individual) are one of the best...
