  1. I guess I'm too HOT to be a nurse.

    Seagate replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of older people (50s) seek out special effects artists to make them look younger...but in this case maybe you should seek out some makeup people to make you look older/less attractive??

  2. A lifestyle of a Nurse

    Seagate replied to Ronald Harris's topic in General Nursing

    don't forget about eating m&ms for lunch, cake and icecream on coworkers birthdays, the extra 40+ lbs gained from taking antidepressants and the total lack of exercise!

  3. Paramedics are taking our Nursing job!

    Seagate replied to MacERRN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Am I too shallow to be a nurse?

    Seagate replied to jonsey77's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would not become an RN. There are better jobs suited for you if you're in it for other reasons. One I can think of the top of my head is working on an oil rig. You can make $100,000...

  5. schedule questions

    Seagate replied to mystykstar's topic in General Nursing

    I have a similar question about scheduling but don't want to start another thread since it's basically the same question. After graduating I want to work two full time jobs to pay off my student...

  6. give me a break

    Seagate replied to DanEMT's topic in General Nursing

    I started a similar thread not too long ago. It also seems like people whine about how RNs don't make enough money. I don't have any research to support this but I think it's the younger nurses who...

  7. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Seagate replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

  8. Asking pay rate before being offered the job...

    Seagate replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Who said it was taboo? I would imagine 99.9% of the people ask about the pay rate. Is there anyone on this board who doesn't

  9. Quick Question

  10. Quick Question

    Seagate replied to Seagate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I heard that if you say you're a male you will get a lot of OB questions. Is this debatable? Maybe some of the guys who took the NCLEX can answer this - did you have a lot of OB

  11. Negative Threads

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it just me or does this board seem really negative? I belong to other forums that deal with working out, cars, and mountain biking and there are hardly ever any "rant" threads, maybe 5% at most....

  12. Quick Question

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    Say for example you're an RN and you have a broken arm that's in a cast. Are you allowed to work? Or would you be sitting at home not getting

  13. Preceptoship

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a hard time deciding if I should go with ER or med/surg. for my preceptorship. I'm unsure if I want to work in ER or the med/surg. floor after I graduate. What do you suggest? I think I...

  15. Travel Nurse

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone please confirm this? To be a travel nurse you have to work in ER for one year? I plan on becoming a travel nurse as soon as I graduate.

  16. Travel Nurse

    Seagate replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the quick reply. Which area of nursing is the biggest for travel nurses? ER? Maybe labor and delivery? I'm a guy though so not really looking into

  17. Using words like honey, sweety a no-no?

    Seagate replied to bee212's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, I wouldn't dare call my patient honey or sweetie. I just call them "babe" or "peaches".

  18. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Seagate replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry wrong

  19. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    Seagate replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    What are the chances of them finding out that you work as a stripper? Also, wouldn't the person who sees you working at a strip club be kind of embarrassed about telling on you? "Hey, boss, I saw Suzy...

  20. Preceptor

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am in nursing school and just received a preceptor request form. I have really no idea what area I want work in. What would be some good areas to have my preceptorship in? Here are my options:...

    Seagate posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think I have pink eye. I don't have insurance though. Can I get something over the counter to take care of it or do I need to go see a doctor and get a

  22. ** "There's A Reason There's A Nurse Shortage!!" **

    Seagate replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    I keep reading these threads on here. I think the reason why most RNs feel this way is because nursing is a "people job", you deal with people all day long. If you think about it it's similar to...

  23. Nursing Shortage Fallacy?

    Seagate replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Is this for a school paper on nursing shortage? Are you pro or con for it? lol yes there is a nursing shortage - nurses are getting older and retiring more and we need new nurses to fill in their...

  24. Is the pay really that bad??

    Seagate replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    For those of you who think nurses don't get paid enough why not just pick up an extra shift, either at the agency you're working at (which is going to pay you time and a half) or work at a staffing...

  25. True or False?

    Seagate replied to oohappyday's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to have to go with FALSE on this one. I've heard many stories where people in their 50s+ become doctors, so I don't see how a nurse, who's a step down so to speak, would be any different....
