I am probably going to offend some of you and I apologize in advance for that. However I really need a safe place to vent my frustrations about nursing and this is the place. A little background: I have a Bachelors in Business. I worked in th...

Honestly I have found that it is best to aim for higher than required in NP school. I use the the topics listed as a guide then I go off and research free videoson YT and other sites. I also look for notes and sites that make the relevant info easy...

No you cannot transfer to a Canadian school partway through because their admission requirements differ from the US. Of course this is something you will need to research yourself as you may find a different answer. Yes you CAN take online classes...

It is easier to complete your schooling in the US and then transfer your NP credential to Canada. Also depending on the province there are fewer recognized NP specialties in Canada.

Now that this bill has been passed let's talk about the vested interests. AMA = greedy mafia Physicians love California and for the most part make insane amounts of money. They are greedy beyond a doubt and constantly want their hands in...

I have been out there interviewing for different Critical Care positions and I am just turned off by the low salary that everyone offers me with my Critical Care experience. I am thinking about doing a side business to help supplement my current inc...

Learning is a journey NOT a destination!

I over-prepped for my NCLEX. I would suggest you do the same. Schedule the date 2-3 months out and then start studying daily. I used to take a bunch of test questions daily to see where my weak spots were. Then I would spend the day studying and ...

I am the OP. I commented on page 20 as to my updated status. Please check.

I have made the change to a new position as a Nursing Supervisor and I love it. Now I get to help floor nurses in ways that I wished my manager would help me out. I never thought that I would like this position so much. They gave me an office howe...

We all need this.

Honestly there are different reasons for everyone. I have to say as long as I stay focused on what my true reason for becoming a nurse was I can continue to enjoy my job with as much if not more enthusiasm than when I first started. I have switched...

I like what you have to say but then again every personality is different. Everyone has to find their own niche. I know nurses who have moved through many many different depts, informatics, Dr. offices, etc before they found what they liked. In th...

Ummm . . . if Nursing satisfaction scores are factored into the EO designation model how come no one asks for our input??

I used to work on tele floor where my work cell phone would ring constantly. I could never use the restroom in peace let alone take a 30 minute "off the clock" lunch break without being interrupted. Now I work in ICU and have 2 patients that are my...

I am a bedside RN in Critical care at a hospital. I work 3 days a week so this leaves me time to do a side business to help supplement my income. Now if only I could figure out what to do . . .

This is 1 of the many reasons I have been looking for different Nursing jobs AWAY from the bedside. It has become obvious to me that nurses are no more than assistants to Drs. We are held responsible for all kinds of ridiculous things which mgmt th...

Hello Nurses! I have completed 1 year in a telemetry floor. I s/w the Manager of the SICU floor stating my interest in learning critical care skills and moving onto ICU eventually. Since she new me as her student when I was in the Nursi...

Angel, May I ask what do you do now?

First off: Thank you to all who replied. I appreciate all your responses. 2) Thank you applewhitern as you ECHO my sentiments EXACTLY. 3) I am sorry that I offended people by my use of the word slavery. 4) My intention was not to get into "w...

my best advice would be to take any job you can get for the moment. if it is in a hospital "all the better". after 1 yr of employment you will no longer be considered a new grad so you can start to apply elsewhere

I have an esthetician license with my RN license. I would suggest you go and take a chemical peel class through one of the skin care manufacterers like PCA. Here's there link http://pcaskin.com/ Let them know that you are a licensed RN and they can...

Hi Bobby, Being a CRNA requires you to work with patients in the OR. If you want something that is maybe more investigative have you tried looking into Forensics Nursing? That seems like a good option where you may only need to do the min...
