  1. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    nurseforlife replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just relocated to the Tampa Bay area with my family about a month ago. I am going to tell you what I think so far. Relocating is obviously a huge plunge we've taken. My motivation was to move away...

  2. Burnout

    nurseforlife replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    For one thing, you are a nurse but still human first. I would say you are being a bit too hard on yourself. How about this oath, "I will do my best to care for my patients, try to squeeze in as...

  3. Career change advice

    nurseforlife replied to anthony02's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not! ADN nurses can, and do get jobs in an emergency department. It will be fine. If you are looking for more than working in a clinical setting than a BSN would be the route to go....

    nurseforlife replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    nurseforlife replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You obviously have your mind made up about people in general. There is nothing I can say to you I guess to change your mind. Meanwhile, you want people to better themselves and take responsibility...

  7. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    nurseforlife replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is true, is a perfect world. I guess, that means there is no excuse for anything. Nobody has any excuse for catastrophe ruining their lives. Like the thousands of people who wait in line for...

  8. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    nurseforlife replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am profoundly interested in knowing how you can justify the misfortune of many Americans based on "Poor Choices". Who is to say that tomorrow you won't have a "JOB", and won't have health...

  9. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    nurseforlife replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  12. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    nurseforlife replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    What are you talking about? Why would you begin to think that a salary cap is in the future, and would begin to take shape. For one thing, this reform is exactly what nurses need. The last thing...

  13. Am I too shallow to be a nurse?

    nurseforlife replied to jonsey77's topic in General Nursing

    Are you wanting to work in a Hospital? You'll probably not like it based on what you've said. This is no picnik. You have people who depend on you, and your all they've got. Last time i checked...

  14. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    nurseforlife replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My ADN has supported my family and I just fine. Not too much difference than a BSN unless interested in Management/Administrative. Even after 14 years of experience i am unable to get a job in...

  15. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    nurseforlife replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One thing my mother told me my whole life, through all my struggles was that God says, "Get up and I will get up with you". Prayer will only work when you put the effort forth. I didn't really have...
