nurses dont really increase their earning potential over their span of career as compared to other occupations. Im sure this varies by region of course and what hospital you work at. Many nurses I work with find that they are taking a pay cut when t...

I have tons of free time . Only work three days a week ! Thank god. I work in ICU. The most difficult thing is dealing with confused and aggressive patients that want to attack you when they are out of their mind. And their families, who are experi...

the last two hospitals I worked at you did not get one cent for having a bsn. WHY?? Because hospitals are cheap and view nurses as an area of cost, always wanting to eliminate cost . They don't care about our education, professional development, o...

nursing schools are extremely strict about time off. Missing more than one- two clinical in a semester will force you to have to repeat the entire semester. It is required by law and the board of nursing to complete a certain amount of clinical hou...

I know AACN recommends opening visiting hours, but are these people who have worked as a nurse, in the ICU anytime recently? The families dont understand how important it is to have report /shift change uninterrupted. They also dont sleep, tend do ha...

the hospital I came from in Texas did have neutropenic precautions, but the hospital I work at now in another state has informed me that that Disease Control has informed them there is no such thing as reverse isolation and that standard precautions ...

there is nothing an LVN can do that an RNcant, its the other way around. However, a hospital would want the cheaper labor and wouldnt want to hire someone who is more qualified for a position than what they are wanting
