  9. Planning move to California

    DoeRN replied to jnurse121's topic in California Nursing

    I'm actually considering the same thing. My first piece of advise is to go ahead and endorse your California license since the BON is super slow. I'm actually going to be doing something other than...

  14. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    DoeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    This is a good thing actually. You see what kind of "friend" she really is. She's a manipulator and she didn't get her way. The family and friends who think you should have helped her well you'll...

  16. Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

    DoeRN replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm also an introvert to the point that I enjoy traveling by myself and I do it on purpose. It can be hard because we're forced to be an extrovert at work. I find a quiet corner and chart. I'm a...

    DoeRN replied to morenita0527's topic in Nursing Career

    If you absolutely need the extra money to put food on the table and keep the electricity on then do it. But if you don't then IMO you shouldn't. The first year as a new nurse is very stressful. I...

  19. Is money everything in this profession?

    DoeRN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I tell you what I wouldn't do this type of work for free. I never took an oath and nursing wasn't a calling. Nurses are underpaid and the wear and tear on our bodies man oh man we earn every penny....

  25. Should I be a nurse? Fears, bodily fluids etc

    DoeRN replied to sarahamelia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
