  1. Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    neatnurse30 replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

    Why are there so many workers from Phillipines on the cruise ships ? I noticed that too, as I like to take cruises every year. Well, I work with Philippino nurses and I must admit they are the nicest...

  2. First day of clinicals .. does this get easier?

    neatnurse30 replied to Neldavi's topic in General Nursing

    Clinicals at nursing school are usually horrible ( from my experience and other nurses saying the same). This is because the clinical instructors somehow expect students to already know those...

  3. Why are people encouraging me to become an M.D. rather than an RN?

    neatnurse30 replied to tnewman's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder about the same. Having such good degrees, why would you bother with

  4. Do you think nursing has aged you?

    neatnurse30 replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! 18/hr? That is very little for a RN and certainly not worth the stress. I also noticed that since I started nursing school, I occasionally started getting a rash between my breasts (...

  5. No raise for us

    neatnurse30 replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare in US is so screwed up and so many people are abusing the system, so no wonder hospitals cannot be profitable. I didn't get any raise for my last 4 years ( I work per diem), I don't even...

  6. I want to get out of nursing

    neatnurse30 replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you! I'm an RN and must tell you that floor nursing in a hospital is very hard. In the hospital I envy anybody who is not a nurse- a cleaning lady, case managers, secretary etc.- because they...

  7. Stressed and Overwhelmed

    neatnurse30 replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to an oppressive nursing! Because med surg on day shift is exactly that! Floor nursing is crazy, physically and emotionally exhausting and stressful. I work nights on med surg and the pace...

  8. So many reasons to go to nursing school but with a few holding me back...advice?

    neatnurse30 replied to supercharmed's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are other alternatives in medical field. Why do you want to be a nurse? You could go for pharmacy tech, sonographer, nutritionist etc., these professions are way easier on your back than...

  9. Stop yelling! (vent)

    neatnurse30 replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

    That's just too funny... Well, it is like this in my work recently as well. These days, people are the rudest ever... Well, somehow we have to survive in our

  10. future nursing student looking for guidance

    neatnurse30 replied to unknown.xoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't agree more!!! I wish to work as CNA or aide to get used to a hospital first. It helps tremendously to reduce the stress. I was thrown the first semester in RN program into everything during...

  11. To ADN nurses who later went back to get BSN..

    neatnurse30 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm attending classes part time (2-3 classes per semester) which works fine for me. I don't work full-time. Most of the nursing classes ( actually now all of them) are online and no clinicals in my...

  12. Switching majors after first semester BSN

    neatnurse30 replied to Shazbatz35's topic in General Nursing

    Having a government job with all good benefits and pension at the end, and making 70K I would never even look at nursing. As a nurse the stress and responsibility is not even closely aligned with the...

  13. Any Regrets on becoming a nurse?

    neatnurse30 replied to agresh1's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 5 years now. If I knew then what I know now I would never go into nursing. The money is not there, benefits are terrible,no pension, stress horrible, the job is emotionally and...

  14. Inova Loudoun?

    neatnurse30 replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I work for one of the Inova hospitals and heard a lot of good things about Loundon. I was there for a class and this hospital is so

  15. IV Questions from a New Nurse

    neatnurse30 replied to BowHunterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can totally relate to you. When I was in nursing school, one of our professor said not to worry about such skills as IV insertion. I don't agree with her. IV skill is important and it takes...

  16. CNS or RN degree? - Advice needed!

    neatnurse30 replied to Newbie7's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Wow, that's pretty scare to go to school for just 1 year to become RN and go straight for master's without having any health-care experience. It is almost ridiculous to me that it is

  17. Isn't our workload enough!

    neatnurse30 replied to San2003's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    For that reason I would never step my foot into a nursing

  18. public health or acute care nursing

    neatnurse30 replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

    Public health without a doubt. I work in a hospital and it is very stressful. One of the nurses who worked on our unit went into public nursing and loves

  19. Exploitation

    neatnurse30 replied to runningwoman's topic in General Nursing

    Who needs RNs in the doctors' offices these days? MAs and LVNs can do a lot. The only registered nurses that I know, who work in doctor's office, are the ones administering chemotherapy. I guess, you...

  20. Four 10's or Five 8's? Which would you do?

    neatnurse30 replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    4 10s! But I don't have kids, so I don't have to worry about

  22. Tuition reimbursement?

    neatnurse30 replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital pays 3,000.00$ for full-time employees. I work per diem, so I don't get

  23. Do you answer your phone on your day off?

    neatnurse30 replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't. I look at number ID and if it's hospital, I let them record themselves and never call them

  24. Per Diem Nurses?

    neatnurse30 replied to JoeDEDRN's topic in Emergency

    I switched from full-time to part-time to per diem on my unit. I love it. I didn't need benefits which I have from my husband. All I have to work is at least 2 shifts per month, then I can self...

  25. New adventure or Big Mistake? Need advice please

    neatnurse30 replied to Strontium's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this is ridiculous just to try getting into nursing school these days. Why do you want to be a nurse? It is a very demanding profession- emotionally, physically and mentally draining. I would...
