  1. I think I HATE what i'm doing...

    neatnurse30 replied to ilovematt48's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel the way now about nursing, trust me, it will not change. I'm in nursing for 3 yrs now, and always hoped that it will be better. First, in the first semester, I knew I hated clinicals, I...

  2. Am I "too old" to change careers?!

    neatnurse30 replied to pixieshmoo's topic in General Nursing

    I would make sure that nursing is what you want to do. Most of the people go for it ( including me) because they hear about job security, good pay, flexible hours. They don't hear about horrible...

  3. I quit nursing school

    neatnurse30 replied to curiousrainbowfan's topic in General Students

    Don't go into nursing. I would not recommend it to anyone. Current nursing shortage is the result of poor working conditions in the hospitals. There is high stress and lots of liability. There is not...

  4. OMG! why does everyone HATE NURSING!

    neatnurse30 replied to twinjeep97's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I would quit nursing if I had to take any antidepressant/antianxiety medication. I work prn ( per diem) and like it because I can come any time I want to my unit, have full control of...

  5. Nursing Shortage????

    neatnurse30 replied to neurorn6's topic in General Nursing

    From what I see, most people go to nursing school and have no idea what they are getting themselves into. A lot of people think that we make huge money. Then they graduate, do the job for 1-2 yrs and...

  6. Do you get paid more being med-surg certified?

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I am going to a 2 day class review for med-surg certification. I don't know any nurse who is med surg certified on my unit. For those of you who are certified, what difference does it make to obtain...

    neatnurse30 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    neatnurse30 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

  9. Does this sound like "a little much" to you??

    neatnurse30 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have those hourly sheets, as well. I think we finally got used to them, and when forget, sign them at the end of the shift. There were few family members who asked me about those sheets. One of...

  10. LPN to RN? or Straight to RN

    neatnurse30 replied to Imhappy4me's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not sure that you would like nursing, maybe you should go first for CNA- nursing assistant and work in a hospital setting for few months, you could do it partime on weekends or evenings....

  11. why on earth would I want to be a nurse?!

    neatnurse30 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN and wished I was CNA working in a hospital before I decided on nursing. I had no idea how stressful it would be. When I look at our CNAs, a lot of them just sit most of the shift, have zero...

    neatnurse30 replied to oregonchinamom's topic in General Nursing

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. Do you envy the techs in your hospital?

    neatnurse30 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

  23. Do you have Malpractice insurance for RNs ?

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in General Nursing
