I've heard negatives about both UMC and St. Domonic. I have heard a surgeon say don't let the cross outside of St. Domonic fool you, there are some viscious people who work there. Also, I have a sister who works at UMC, and she said that there is a r...

How often is the admissions for this program? Is it fall, spring, and summer admissions? Also, is it an evening program? How long is the program?

Why is it that people are so sensitive and quick to offense now days? The statement that I wrote was to help the young individual that had a question about where to apply for nursing jobs. UMC and CMMC are both hospitals that have a lot of turn overs...

"Da Freak" as you would like to call yourself, I'm not going to waste time with a rude reply as you have done, but I would like to say this. Those who are going through a trial and if they know God, they know in the word that they will overcome if th...

i don't elicit negative responses wherever i go. i don't know if you were referring to me or just speaking in general. it is a known fact, in the field of healthcare especially in the hospital setting that there is a hierarchy. they are very big on t...

Yes, you did miss that post. I didn't say that nurses were "looking" for respect. I said they shouldn't EXPECT to get ANY respect.

your head is in the clouds. of course doctors, residents, and administrators are going to act like they like you in your face, (or treat you like you are on the same level) but behind your back is a total different story. :wink2:

Well, congratulations on you actually finding a doctor/resident who actually has character. I have talked to guys who were in med school, and they were very cocky and arrogant! Which I found very surprising that they were so obnoxious before they eve...

You sound like a navy recruiter! LOL Are you?

Yeah, I agree it is wrong that people judge people by how much they make or what they do for a living.

What you are doing (volunteering) is a great idea to get your foot in the door. Just keep talking to HR, and they might hire you because they see how persistent you are. Have you tried any hospitals in Jackson? I know the VA had a hiring freeze ab...

it is more of a hierarchy, at a hospital, than it is in other working environments. whether people choose to believe it or not, doctor's/residents/administration do "look down" on nurses. i have heard about snide comments doctors/residents have mad...

I would be glad when people realize this. There are so many careers that pay good besides nursing. Teachers and nurses make the same amount of money when you do the math. Teachers only work 9 months out of the year and nurses work year round 12 hrs a...

oh, i know that your message wasn't directed specifically towards me, but i just wanted to clarify the things that i have said. yeah, the op's pot is really going to be stirred when he gets a fart in the face, on the nursing floor, like the other pos...

i have said this several times. i'm not judging the opener's reason for why he chose to do nursing just for money, the comments that i stated was to give him a realistic outlook of what nursing entails. if you have an honest outlook on what nurses ...

i agree that you should choose a job for money, but you should be passionate about it. if you are a person that can't tolerate fluids, scents, etc...then it doesn't make sense for you to choose nursing as a career based on money. if you like comput...

You missed the point of his story. No amount of money an hour is worth you getting a fart in the face. That is why it is important that a person chooses a career in nursing based on other motivating factors besides money.

you fail to understand that 100k for san francisco is equivalent to 40k. california's cost of living is extremely high compared to other places in the u.s. san franciso is one of the highest cities to live in ca. i know of people who pay $2000-3000...

You can't always believe the news. The media always portrays a image of something that is not factual. It is best to turn off your t.v. now days. The fact is that there is no nursing shortage. How is there a shortage when so many people are graduatin...

No you need to care for people. Yes, you need to be competent, but you need to actually care for people. Nursing is a "people" profession. Patients are sick, and they don't need someone mean spirited sending off negative vibes working on them. If you...

If you have a job in this economic times, you better NOT quit it. Nursing is not a recession proof job. If you want a recession proof job you better go into education. There are people getting laid off from nursing all over the US. Some hospitals hav...

To the opener of this thread, you seem to have a lot of creative gifts. You mentioned that you have a degree in communications and creative writing. Why not pursue a career that is more on the creative side? Well, there is nothing wrong with findi...

So you're in nursing school now? How are you doing in school with juggling a family and a 40-hour job?

Hi, I'm 26 years old. I have a Bachelor's degree in a field that doesn't pertain to health care. I just got accepted into nursing school (ADN program). I have been in nursing school before a long time ago and dropped out of the program. So I know...

What made nursing school a disappointing experience for you? What area of nursing do you work now?
