    damrcngrl95 replied to Winx51's topic in Men in Nursing

    Have you thought about sales? You can make some decent money using your knowledge without having to work as a nurse. It can be hard to get into, but the people I know who do it seem to like their...

  2. Hospitals offering scholarships? ANYWHERE?

    damrcngrl95 replied to hihopes22's topic in General Students

    I know that a year ago Flowers Hospital in Dothan,AL offered a program where they sent you to school to become a RN if you gave them 2 years. They offered this to me, but we were moving and I...

  4. The Mockery of Nursing

    damrcngrl95 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Should I be an LPN, RN, MSN, NP, or go to medical school?" I know that people really want to know if they will be cut out for a job or even like it for the long haul. I get this. I researched my...

  5. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    damrcngrl95 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's because people twist these obligations around so that they can beat someone over the head with it. I taught for many years and this was the excuse for the pettiness teachers used to tattle on...

  6. are there any nurses out there who haven't been vaccinated?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Kendel.G's topic in General Students

    I know this isn't exactly the same, but when we were moving from the U.S. to Germany I had to get all of my boosters done all at once. It went fine. I had some soreness from the shoots, but did...

  8. State by State percentage of jobs for each career area

    damrcngrl95 replied to damrcngrl95's topic in General Nursing

    Esme... I do feel like we are sold a pack of lies when it comes to job prospects in the medical field. I thought the link could be a good one, but wasn't sure. It was eye opening to see the many...

  9. Anyone go from teaching to nursing?

    damrcngrl95 replied to parothdsuenva's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are several people on here that went from teaching to nursing. I was an elementary teacher for 10 years. It was not a good fit for me and I knew I had to do something else. I know that I am a...

  10. Hit rock bottom... ruined nursing career... life is a mess right now...

    damrcngrl95 replied to NurseCard's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No you are not alone. I could have written the career portion of your post except for teaching. After many years of beating my head against a wall trying to like my career of choice I couldn't...

  11. It's not always about you - a mini rant

    damrcngrl95 replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's one person's way of trying to show that they understand what the poster is going through. They could be trying to show support and letting that person know that they are not alone with the...

  12. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

    damrcngrl95 replied to TheOracle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So far you have been given some good advise about writing her up and not coddling her. Some people are just emotional vampires. When I was an office manager I had a toxic person hired by my boss....

  13. Things you wish you could say to parents.....

    damrcngrl95 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Sometimes it is hard to read someone's intent. I'm sure that you won't throw a child to the wolves. I have just had some well meaning people not take my asthma attack seriously because I wasn't...

  15. Any rad-techs out there?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Livinstrong85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here is a site that has a lot of info about Rad Techs. They even have a forum. It isn't as busy as this forum, but you could get many of your questions answered....

  16. Things you wish you could say to parents.....

    damrcngrl95 replied to mc3's topic in School

    As a teacher I have felt some of your frustrations. I had a child throw-up in class one morning. School started less than an hour before. I asked the child if she had been sick before and she said...

  17. Do you find this article insulting?

    damrcngrl95 replied to cacentralvalley's topic in General Nursing

    I have read other writings from "Happy". He is abrasive in his writings and usually gets someone angry with how he worded his articles. I usually have to look past the abrasiveness and try to think...

  18. Career change-teacher to nurse

    damrcngrl95 replied to cowgirlup's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on being accepted in the BSN program. I'm also changing a career from teaching. I would let your AP know by no later than the 1st of November. You will probably need to talk with...

  19. military relocation and school, yikes!

    damrcngrl95 replied to peaceful warrior's topic in General Nursing

    We are a military family and some of the things I have seen my friends forced to do is 1. Try to find out if a school in the state you are PCSing to will accept you into their program and accept the...

  20. Anyone left nursing TOTALLY...what are you doing now?

    damrcngrl95 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Are you good at sales? Maybe you could go into pharma sales? I have a friend that does it and she makes really good money and loves her work. I remember in high school we had an RN for a HOSA...

  21. How to stop being a doormat before it happens.

    damrcngrl95 replied to toniasday7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm trying to break that habit now too. In your daily life try to practice assertiveness. If someone asks you to do something and it is something that you either don't really want to do or don't...

  22. and everyone's... OK with this?

    damrcngrl95 replied to tater.jake's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the people here are not getting why you are upset because the pay scale shown is not unlike many of the pay scales they have seen. It would be nice to see a merit based pay scale, but to me...

  24. No burn out....enough is enough!

    damrcngrl95 replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to hear that California did pass that mandate. It will open doors for other nurses in other states to follow. I hope you do get to go to California when you finish your degree. It sounds...

  25. No burn out....enough is enough!

    damrcngrl95 replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is somewhat OT, but I find it amazing that daycares and schools have an adult to child ratio because of safety reasons. I'm surprised that states don't have laws that mandate hospitals to...
