    futurecnm replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    futurecnm replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    futurecnm replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

  7. good grades vs. competent nurse

    futurecnm replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

    futurecnm replied to youngEd's topic in General Nursing

    futurecnm replied to Tealeaf72's topic in General Nursing

    futurecnm replied to youngEd's topic in General Nursing

    All depends where you live. Where I live, MN, the wages are about $23-25/hr I believe starting out. And there are jobs here. Always a lot of options in the paper for the major hospitals. Not sure...

  18. Help! Money! In a pickle!!!

    futurecnm replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I am getting my degree at a community college. It is an AD but this way I can still get my RN and hopefully find a hospital to pay for my AD to BSN later on. Either way I will be an RN. I...

    futurecnm replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

  24. Anyone left good paying job for nursing?

    futurecnm replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    I think for as many people who would not recommend nursing as a profession there are an equal number of people who would recommend it. I am a student and I wouldn't exactly say I'm happy in nursing...

    futurecnm replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing
