  11. At what point is it not worth it?

    Citigyrl replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that ICU & ER are naturally stressful areas. Knowing your S*T helps. They always want to show a new employee up and point out their mistakes. Take time out to become familiar with...

  12. An RN who has a BS vs a BSN does it really matter?

    Citigyrl replied to techjob4u's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Citigyrl replied to NursKam's topic in General Nursing

    Most often non-LVN's will say do a RN first and pre LVN's will say go that route. The reality is in timing. I was a LVN first then I got my RN. If you can afford not to work and do school full time...
