    Should I take a caregiver job?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to jlwerley's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a caregiver for a little over a year, and thought it was fabulous experience. That being said, if I had the resources to get certified as a CNA at the time I would have....it opens a lot...

    IHeartPeds87 replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, getting back to the OP's purpose of posting.... I think there are a lot of misconceptions about nursing. And I do get offended when people ask me why I want to be a nurse and not a doctor. I...

    Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to ryangogogo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is my two cents on the topic: your friend needs to seriousely assess why she is having such a hard time with this class. Is it, truly, because she took them and just didn't care, but cares now?...

    Do I have to be an A student to be a nurse? ...there's no hope for me.

    IHeartPeds87 replied to BunnyJ's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to look at the requirements for specific programs. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE if this is what you REALLY want to do. Many programs exist that care only about the grades in their...

    Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    IHeartPeds87 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a thought, but you can' t be the only single mom nurse wanting to work night shifts as a nurse in your area. Ask around. Put up fliers (if you can) at local hospitals, craigslist,...

    Do you feel like you do enough?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to Sparrow23's topic in General Nursing

    I know its difficult, and I commend you on your thinking. The very fact that you feel like "I want to give better care, how can I do it" means that you have the right mindset. I understand...

    managements new idea for call-lights

    IHeartPeds87 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, it would be one thing if management would track the amount of time it took for the call lights to be answered. Not divided up by nurse, but by shift. And then used the results, not in a...

    IHeartPeds87 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing
