    Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    netglow replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    He's got a point, but you've already dropped some $ and got nothing. BSN schools are easier to get into than ADN. This whole thing is only because there is such a cost savings. I knew several whose...

    Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    netglow replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Well healthcare is a dicey field in general right now. I'd get a bachelors in something else (as I've said many times) and then test the waters again in a few years. You can interview for so many more...

    netglow replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just think positive! You might be with a small group of NGs. You will be so far ahead of them that it will put you at ease somewhat I think. I bet you will do just

    netglow replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Near me it's 3 months for a new grad. I don't know of anything longer. If you are experienced it's more like a week or maybe two and this is on your own, but you can ask questions and someone will be...

    Need advice - finding a job with stips

    netglow replied to yahmonRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So, you graduated and got your first job as an RN that lasted 1 month back in '08. Now you got the BON tarnish on your license too. I think it's that, and the fact that you are competing with...

    netglow replied to RNtslifka's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is just basically what it says. You find posts here on AN about nurses taking jobs that either they know are at kind of shady facilities or agencies -or- they soon find out are at shady...

    Computarized Med Pass in a LTC facility????????

    netglow replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I guess it depends on what system they buy into. If it is as advanced and detailed I'd feel screwed too. Sheesh for 30 patients? and if you're in a SNF too with all the scanning of flushes, etc. I...

    Yeah Mazy, it was very strange. Well, so was the entire list of people I met "still shaking head in disbelief". I'd elaborate for your entertainment even, but I guess I can't. It would be just too...

    Its too low?

    netglow replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    I know that some SNFs very far north say, maybe almost 2 hours from Chicago pay RNs about $20 as new grads. I wouldn't imagine that it jumps too much higher no matter your years as RNs are a dime a...

    There is this wierdness about nurisng and jobs. I think of it as a kind of brainwashing cultish thought process. As a second career nurse, I see this pervasive idea out there that someone must be...
