    How Hard is Nursing School?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for your input. Yes, hard/difficult is subjective. I'm coming from a marketing/communications background, so this is a complete 180 for me. I have a masters in my field that I...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Well regardless of how much you are making and with all the differential add-ons and what not (sorry, don't know the lingo yet), I'm sure that Donna Summer was what "s/he works hard for the money"...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I still cannot believe that with the current real estate market and state of the economy, prices of homes in the bay haven't dropped significantly! In some of the best parts of LA Country, homes that...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way it should be! There are a lot of people making 6-figures who do not have this type of excitement - and to me, that is what's sad! Good luck in

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I just understand the frustration that some folk have over the differences in salaries based on regions (even when cost of living is not particularly low). For instance, I have a friend in NY...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I never look at Salary.com - those figures are never accurate. In my current position, I make $22,000 more than what it states on salary.com for my years of experience and location. So while I think...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it really depends on location, cost of living, etc., because to me, that's the ONLY reason why hospitals in nothern california (which is the most expensive area to live in cali) would pay over...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, the average I've always heard out here is $35-$40/hour starting. Yet, when I hear of the huge differences in salary amongst states, it perplexes me. $22/$23 is such a huge difference compared to...

    I feel so hopeless ! :(

    MiahMSN replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be discouraged. If it's in your heart and you want it, it's already yours (you have to claim it and then go get it) - that's what I tell myself. But remember, anything worth having is worth...

    Am I doing the right thing?

    MiahMSN replied to crazycordovian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well, first you have to do what's best for you - finanically and emotionally and really determine where your heart lies. The job market is somewhat discouraging, but I don't believe it should deter...

    MiahMSN replied to nt28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Klone, I was thinking the same thing. Why the resistance, when a good number (not sure of the percantage of women and men MDs in L&D) are OBs??? I really don't understand what the issue would be....
