   ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

   With the current job market, isn't it really hard for a new grad to get any job? I think I've seen a couple of threads (I need to read some more; I just skimmed through them) where a lot of new grads...

   ArtisticAthlete posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I'm thinking about doing a 1yr accelerated BSN program and was wondering how hard it would be for a new grad to get a job in the NICU? Is this an area that's pretty much impossible to get into...

6. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

   ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

   So, it's abnormal for that to be annoying ("whining adults patients") in my eyes? Most people don't care about that? If so, I guess you're right...I have some soul searching to

7. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

   ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

8. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

   ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. Different strokes for different folks. One would think a nurse should be super compassionate and loving but the reality is, most nurses I've met (or know...including friends) have an...

   ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

   QUESTION: After reading through all of these responses, I've come to the conclusion that all of you guys are talking about "Floor Nursing", right? Are other areas of nursing as stressful? I remember a...

    ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I get it. I got it after post #5 by ohmeowzerRN. After I read that post, I thought, "Phew! No wonder nurses always say they're overworked and underpaid." That's a lot of stuff you guys have to...

    ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Thank you for your post and no, I don't think it was offensive; you made some good points. Maybe the healthcare profession really isn't for me (like some of my friends have told me Lol), but I...

    "Do NOT tell a nurse to..."...really? Are you serious? :chuckle I'm sorry but that's pretty hilarious. You just reminded me of a Kindergarten teacher yelling at her student for trying to eat glue or...

13. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Very, very true. I can understand where you are coming from. I'm really dramatic (i.e. saying "sooooooo" or "reeeaally!?") and speak like this in my daily life (perhaps I should be an actress?...

    ArtisticAthlete replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Well I guess you're missing one of your senses. No troll...truthful thoughts. I just have a blunt way of asking questions; no need to beat around the bush. That's what I was thinking and wanted to get...
