I am always hearing on this board that people became or are becoming nurses to help people. I think that is great. I don't understand though, why they find it acceptable to be taken advantage of. I mean just because you are going into nursing to help people shouldn't you get paid well and treated right. There are a lot of people out there that like their jobs, but they still want to get paid well and get treated right. Can someone explain why many nurses think that accepting lower pay and less respect is acceptable? Would these same people that find lower pay and less respect acceptable be nurses for free?

Does anyone know where we can find out exactly what the legislation says? Thanks, Ken

Hi all, I am new to the nursing field and I am thinking about starting an ADN program at a local community college to become an RN. Do I already have to be an RN before I can sign up with the military or does the military have any programs that you can work with them and study at the same time. I am 31 years old so I need to keep at least a part time income while I am in school just to pay the bills. thanks for all the help.

I am new to nursing and I have seen different posts about Travel nursing and Agency nursing. Is there a difference between the two or is it the same thing just different terminology? If there is a difference, can you please explain the differences?
