  5. Is nursing really THAT bad?

    neatnurse30 replied to CuriousCC's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the hardest and worst is the nursing school. Then 1st year is also pretty bad, you are learning and there is so much to learn in practice that you can't learn at school. I didn't like it...

    neatnurse30 replied to geauxlsutigers's topic in General Nursing

  7. For all of you Nurses out there...

    neatnurse30 replied to aaaa's topic in General Nursing

    neatnurse30 replied to ms.pebbles's topic in Nursing Career

    Where are you from? I don't think there are any jobs right now for new grads anyway to find in the hospitals. As before mentioned, US is a large place and pay rate varies

  12. Magnet - What Do You Think?

    neatnurse30 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    The same happened in my hospital few years ago. They overstaffed every unit , chose and coached specific nurses what to say. Bunch of B.S. But the good thing was, we didn't get Magnet, and I think...

  13. working with an incompetent nurse.. need advice!

    neatnurse30 replied to owenlevi2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The whole story you described sounds very fishy. I think you want to report the nurse badly, but don't know how to do it. Just stay away from it- you didn't witness the event and you are not a nurse,...

  14. I want to QUIT this job and this hostile enviroment I'm in!!! need advice!

    neatnurse30 replied to CynicallyVexed's topic in General Nursing

  15. RN to MD, has anyone done this?

    neatnurse30 replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same. The waiting lists just to get to the nursing program can be 2-3 years long. And seriously if you want to be MD, then just go for it frm the

  16. I'm discouraged

    neatnurse30 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I admire our nurse managers, because I could not take those positions, they seem to be too stressful for me. I have enough stress when I have to be the charge nurse on a shift, and everybody runs to...

  17. How many don't make it through?

    neatnurse30 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    When I oriented in ICU as a new grad, the nurse manager said that about only 50% of new grad RNS stay past the orientation. I left a week before the orientation, hated the orientation and the stress...

  18. Do nurses make the worse patients?

    neatnurse30 replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    I had similar experiences with nurses as patients and as family members. They can be really nasty, I really don't know why is this so. Recently I had a female nurse patient, from the very first moment...

  20. 370$ to renew my annual nursing license! AHHH

    neatnurse30 replied to Iggy123's topic in General Nursing

    It's about 90$ every 2 years in Virginia. Everything seems to be more expensive in Canada. USA is a good bargain

  24. Quit after first day of orientation!

    neatnurse30 replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I would never be a CNA because it is a horrible job, very physically demanding and low paid. As an RN, I have at least more options that I can choose to work, and not necessarily physically...

    neatnurse30 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I work per diem. Today, I got 2 phone calls to come to work. I don't answer the phone ( have phone ID), let them record themselves; it's not my problem- staffing issues. We have management...
