  1. For those a BSN or MSN acquired online, did you face discrimination when job hunting

    Fixit replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if you must get the degree online got to a school that also has a brick and mortar school. I do believe there is discrimination against people with online nursing degrees. IMO The shake...

  3. does anyone regret becoming a nurse?

    Fixit replied to CC999's topic in General Nursing

    imo It is annoying when students, new grads and newbies tell veterans they need to be positive. It's more important and more helpful to the profession that we see the realities and speak the truth...

  4. For new grads looking for their first job

    Fixit replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    That's it exactly. I know MANY non nurses who still think switching to a nursing career is the answer to ever being laid off. They think we have our pick of jobs with great working conditions that...

  5. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    Fixit replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

  6. Has anyone received their license after submitting declaratory for bipolar?

    Fixit replied to kmdjkennedy's topic in General Nursing

  9. Read the thread before you post!!!!!

    Fixit replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I never knew so many were so easily irritated. Seems to me that to be a nurse one would need a higher frustration tolerance. What's wrong with the idea of accepting that not everyone does things...

    Fixit replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    DUI 3 times?? Selfish!! Reckless. Dangerous and completely irresponsible. I wouldn't let this nurse near my child or allow her behind the wheel. I like the new breathalyzer for 1 time DUI offenders...
