    Oh I don't think college is anything that would fluster the OP, me either. Loved the A&P and Pathophys, actually there is a dumbing down that occurs once you actually start working as a nurse....

    Job Hunting: MDs as References?

    Heck yeah. You just never know if you're gonna get a crabby NM interviewer who just hates ALL MDs though. So, I figure if I wind up with "that" during an interview, well fine - I am a professional and...

    My reality of becoming an RN

    Comments about personal appearance

    Yeah, I'm naturally thin, not emaciated, but on the thin side. I can eat ANYBODY under the table. I've pretty much retained that ability and only go up like 6-10lbs every so often then I settle down....

    Job market reality for new nurses

    Well it is sad. I also am a second degree nurse. However I guess I was very successful in my first career since the late 80's, so. It is hard to find work. LTC in so many areas really isn't a place...

    I'll just add because I don't read it here, that there is no nursing shortage. The faculty shortage is misconstrued as well. There are too many profit driven nursing programs and too many graduates....
