  1. Nursing is a passion?

    Accolay replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think nursing is an alright job- it pays ok most of the time, I can work almost as few or as many hours as I'd like, it provides opportunity to learn new things and go just about anywhere if I...

  2. I want to quit nursing.

    Accolay replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say stick it out until the 18 month mark. *how many cliches can I add to this post?* "suck it up" "grow thicker skin." If you still hate it after 18 months, find another nursing position or pursue...

    Accolay replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know your whole financial picture, but sounds like getting a new car is out. Even if you weren't a new grad, I'd say go with a used car. Who wants to be saddled with that debt, and full...

    Accolay replied to jenago's topic in General Nursing

    Where can one find hard statistics to back a nursing shortage up? Where are the people saying there is a nursing shortage getting their numbers

  8. The troops

    Accolay replied to robynrn2b's topic in General Nursing

    Search Google for "Adopt a marine" or soldier or sailor (like myself) Care packages are always cool. I know we loved and appreciated them when we got them over here. Thank
