    alexillytom replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

  11. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    alexillytom replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto SmilingBluEyes! I'm not a nurse YET but I am a wife, mother, and woman. Those roles are the most important ones I will ever have. Becoming a nurse is icing on the cake. The cake(home life)...

    alexillytom replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

  13. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

  14. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    alexillytom replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Paychecks aren't what make me "want" to go to work but they are, in fact, the reason that I do go to work. If I were able to live off of my caring nature, or support my children and send them to...

  15. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    alexillytom replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    alexillytom replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    alexillytom replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    alexillytom replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I have three children and there is no way in the world I would have decided to go to school to become an RN if the pay wasn't high enough to adequately care for them. I made decent money before I...
