  2. Nursing personality

    sunray12 replied to Laura77598's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're a bit too concerned about living up to a stereotype about nurse personality. Nursing is a job, not a caricature. If you just don't feel that bedside/patient care work is for you...

  3. Is moving around in your career as an RN really all that easy?

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    This is like asking why someone is overweight when they can change their diet and start exercising tomorrow. Anyone can change if they decide to do it, but it takes effort. e.g., I'm not a nurse yet...

    sunray12 replied to sweetea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Was anyone poor before becoming a nurse?

    sunray12 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not poor but nursing wages will be a significant pay raise for me. I guess it all depends on where you are coming from. Nurses can make in the low six figures without too much hassle. For people...

    sunray12 replied to oldfashionedlove's topic in General Students

    Any other allied health program that was available. These don't cost less than nursing school but don't have as many applicants. If money was an issue then I'd go the cna, pct

  9. Direct Entry Programs - work as an RN or NP?

    sunray12 replied to swhwang's topic in General Nursing

    sunray12 replied to la mama 310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do your research into all of the programs you're interested in. You should apply to as many schools at you want to. In my area community college programs give first preference to people living in...

    sunray12 replied to dnlmiller's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. How do I make the "right" choice??

    sunray12 replied to cupid09's topic in General Nursing

    She doesn't sound like she's going to make a good nurse herself. What's with all the (her) negativity? Its one thing if she doesn't want to do med/surge herself. No problem - with the variety of...

  18. How to Gain Respect in the Workplace

    sunray12 replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in General Nursing
