    tennurse267 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    As earlier said, I wish I had gone for the BSN in the beginning. After being out 12+ years, I still haven't "gone back to school" like I said I would. (But it's not over yet). On a personal note, I...

  4. Dilemma

    tennurse267 replied to CVnurse08's topic in General Nursing

    Jules, Whoa girl...where did that come from? Angus was only offering insight and he was right on the money. I started out as a Unit Secretary, then CNA then Nurse Tech and now am a RN. I did not...

  7. How rude are surgeons?

    tennurse267 replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  8. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    tennurse267 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    As sad as it is to say, no, I wouldn't do it again. I went into nursing school in 1985 thinking it was a noble and respected career. It is not. As stated before me, the pay is not worth what you...

    tennurse267 replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, I can't imagine the sleeping/private room for each infant thing. But when I worked NICU (and we were a level 3) we were 2 floors above our L&D with a keyed dedicated elevator and never...

    I could tell several stories but I'll stick to just a few. After just graduating from nursing school in '92, I worked Peds where some very good friends of mine worked. One evening, while preparing...
