  1. Anyone returned to nursing after taking years off?

    jmh02s posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Does anyone have advice for returning to the hospital setting after a 4 year break to focus on raising family/finish Master's degree? I've been getting pushback that my experience isn't 'recent'...

  2. Anyone returned to nursing after taking years off?

    jmh02s replied to jmh02s's topic in Nursing Career

    Just wanted to update in case it helps anyone in the future. Received an offer from a well respected Magnet hospital and started last week. Sell yourself and your experience and don't feel pressured...

  3. New grad nurse - how long did it take you to feel like you knew your job?

    jmh02s replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I specifically remember feeling things "click into place" 9 months into working as a new grad telemetry nurse. I still obviously had a lot to learn & never lost sight of that, but that time period...

  4. Has anyone else ever had doubts about working health care?

    jmh02s replied to giggles6814's topic in Nursing Career

    Have I ever had doubts about working in healthcare? Basically every single day. I got more respect as a waitress serving people buffalo wings than I do as an RN (i.e. waitress in scrubs) serving...

  5. News Article on Nursing Shortage in Florida

    jmh02s replied to Ella26's topic in Florida Nursing

    So tired of these annoying clickbait articles about "nursing shortages." It makes me wonder what type of agenda they are trying to push when they publish these articles that are clearly not

    jmh02s posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all: I'm hoping someone can offer some words of wisdom ... I got great news the other day that I got accepted to my #1 choice for an ABSN program. But ... since it's a private school & I will...

    jmh02s replied to hpfulRN-NJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just got my acceptance letter!!! So stoked about it! But ... as much as I'd love to attend, I don't know if it's just absolutely foolish to pay this much for my nursing degree! I would have to pay...

    MDCupcake- I take it you're decided 100% to go Generic?? I'm still torn ... I'd kill for the Baptist Scholarship, not even for the tuition money, because I figure it'd be a wash since that money I'd...

    jmh02s replied to zaydonima's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MDCupcake - I'm really torn between Generic & Accelerated, too ... I can't decide if my 2 friends that are in the AO now are just being overly dramatic, or if it really is that intense/unbearable....

    jmh02s replied to MDC2009's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied to Barry, but their Accelerated program that starts in January is already full, and I am NOT waiting around a year to go there (and take out a fortune in loans). I applied to a bunch of...

    jmh02s replied to MDC2009's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got that email today too, but I really don't think it means a heck of a lot. I have a 3.6 as far as the nursing program is concerned (for the 5 science classes), but a 4.0 overall at MDC. I'm...
