I'm going to be point blank. Debt matters and the more you have, the more stress people tend to have and less money that can be spent in other areas. Some people pay $500 a month in student loans. That's around $6,000 a year. It isn't as bad as peopl...

sure does take a while to say that word. i always get a kick out of myself when i type "delte" instead of "delete." i always do that, lol.

There are very few things that **** me off and threads like this is one of them. It blows my mind how some people get affended by a few written words on a Internet forum. The OP is one of the people I see everyday getting walked over. We should put t...

FYI, "alot" isn't a word. There's no word such as "alot." You spell it a lot. For example, "that is a lot of weight." Now compare that to, "that is alot of weight."

Oh please. If you want a discussion that doesn't involve ******* another person off, doesn't involve conflicts of opinion, go talk to a priest. What are you going to do the first time a co-worker calls you stupid or a patient has no respect for you ...

Yeah, it is best just to leave it as is...co-workers going to the web to talk about stuff and/or to vent...or even just to ask questions. As long as no laws are borken on this forum, I just leave stuff as is. I know a couple of peopole who work a dif...

Agreed. Once you are out of school and have graduated, it is time to leave the "hate/dislike" of that and that from school behind and move on. Just give a positive tone to stuff.

When I have a job interview and if I didn't like the person that interviewed me, or I got a bad feeling about the place, I don't even bother checking in on the position or even sending a thank you note (I also have ended a couple of interviews by say...

Education debt is just debt. You will get it paid off as long as you make it a focus of your expenses. Sure the ADNs will make as much as you, but there is more to it. You got the chance to experience the college atmosphere and you have more career g...

I didn't read the responses, so I might repeat what others may have said. Don't look at just salaries for the following reasons: 1: Nursing has more upside in career potential 2: Teachers teach the same subject year after year and work with the same...

Where my parents live, a small rural area in Wisconsin, most nurses become nurses so they can get a decent job. Most people already know each other even before going to nursing school. It's the patients that come from outside of the small city that d...

I get along with everyone since I don't ***** about stuff. I've learned my lessons in past jobs. When I graduated high school, I got a job transporting patients....I was going to college at the same time. There was another co-worker that was a nursin...

I took a pathology and pharm class that is focused towards nursing students. The classes were as easy as heck...nothing like med school level. I took organic chemistry and biochemistry and those courses were much tougher. Debating between a nursing...

No need to say a person is being reckless like on this forum. I know some people what loved their major of choice until their senior year (people can change). So they were stuck in school for two more years at a private school racking up more debt. S...

The average med school debt these days is around $170k. It's only going to get worse as tuition keeps going up and up. Some med schools charge $80,000 a year just on tuition. That's a complete rip off.

It can add up fast. Freshman year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Soph year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Junior year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Senior year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) 5th year ?: $...

Pretty much. I would also add, forgetting everything you learned in college and now you know what really matters at your job and have realized how pointless most college courses are. Also, when you apply for your next degree about the only thing that...

I always hate it when the first question you are asked is, "please describe yourself." I hate starting an interview like that because I know they are looking for an exact type of experience and if I don't say that exact type of experience, the interv...

It does suck right now but it won't last. Soon employers will be bagging for nurses again. Once people get back to work and more people have access and coverage for health care, there will be a demand again.

In all honesty, when I leave the hospital, I don't want to think about what I did at work. I want to concentrate on fantansy football during the football season and I want to focus on my own health and working on my cars when it isn't football season...

If I didn't need a consistent paycheck, I would work at developing a college football game to compete against EA Sports. But I'm not rich and nobody in my family is rich. So I need to make money to hopefully achieve my TRUE passions in life.

Agreed.

I take it you haven't worked in the corporate world before. People ***** and complain not matter what the profession is. That's just how the world works. So all you can do is pitty the co-workers who complain daily about this and that. Chances are th...

Do I love it? No. Do I hate it? No. Do I just deal with it? Yes. Do I want more? Yes. Does it allow me to pay for my living? Yes. At the end of the day, that is all that matters besides personal satisfaction. I've done a lot of jobs that most pe...

one of the last things i want to see is doctors being salaried. i think having salaried doctors would be a real bad thing. i don't have time to elaborate on the reasons right now.
