Loved the switch. Best decision I ever made. Having said that, nursing is difficult in its own way, and the schooling was harder, I think. I do not have 30 people to deal with all day, but my 5 or 6 sick people keep me on my toes. You do have to b...

Sounds like a weenie to me. Be glad he didn't ask for a bedbath. And congrats, or possible congrats!

He'll get his some day. God doesn't like ugly.

I imagine money is a big factor...not there yet, but I do wish to do part time in the hospital and part time teaching. One of my instructors told us frequently her brand new grads made more than her. I love curiosity's information above!

Arm was sore for a little bit and then nothing. Regular flu shot was worse. Working so far!

No advice, but good luck!

Never heard of it and it looks incredibly dangerous

I will, along with easily a large amount of staff, be wearing Phillies gear this coming week, as we are allowed, and why not? Have some fun!

Temple? 40? Bucks an hour? To start?

Are you kidding me? on the onco floor?

Not close enough to be able to weigh in, but man, am I jealous! You will make the right choice, I am sure!

Sleep....haha, I'm lucky some nights if I eat and pee. It's busy all the time on my floor.

I still cry from time to time, and it's absolutely okay. I cried on one of my first rotations, also in the presence of a brain dead patient, I was so overwhelemed with the state of him, and how helpless he was. I have since toughened up, but not co...

It doesn't really matter where you go, you can always get your BSN after you are working a bit. Go wherever you find openings and affordable tuition, and a supportive environment. Ask to shadow someone so you can decide for yourself if this is some...

Practice does make perfect, and eventually you will not be scared of them anymore. Always remember, however, even the best shot does hurt a little bit, and be kind!

I worked my way through. It's doable. It is very helpful to have any possible job within the hospital, from dietary on up to CNA or Unit Clerk, at least you have your foot in the door when it's job time.

Do you have to go to a one year accelerated program? A two year program will cost tens of thousands less

I once told a patient i would be right back, with whatever it was he needed, and not to run away. oooooppps...Bilateral AKA........

Congrats to all, what a wonderful feeling!

Wow that is anxiety producing...There's so much wrong with what you are being asked to do I can't think of where to begin.

You know what's funny? I graduated last year and things are pretty much the same as in 1980, except girls can wear pants now. Loved the old school discipline. Loved the school, actually. I think even Mrs Grussler was there still, although I didn't...

Are you an LPN or RN?

Just thought this one out long and hard, decided on the RN-MSN to teach also. Just go right for it.
