I've been scavenging this site for more than 3 months now since I've decided to become a nurse. I'm 2 classes away from applying to a program. Now I'm really reconsidering it. I have read time and time again about problems w/co-workers, black-balling...

i was trying to decide the something a while back and i'm choosing nursing. for this simple reason that if i'm going to pharmacy school i'm NOT going to work in retail no matter the money.

i just wanted to thank you guys for this. it makes me feel like i've made the right decision about applying to nursing school.

this is what makes me very scared to go into the nursing profession.

Thanks everyone for the answers and support. It was excatly what I was looking for. I'm looking for a career that is more fulilling than being a desk jockey for the rest of my life. My job now can be crazy but I have learned several skills including,...

I know every job has it's problems and issues, but it seems like everyone goes to work walking on eggshells. I thought that there was some degree of professionalism in nursing. There has to be enough pressure to just going to work and care for people...

I had a tmoblie dash which is a windows based smart phone. it had windows office mobile. which was pretty cool because i could take pictures in A&P make a powerpoint slide show and put the file on my phone instant flash cards! I typed notes in wi...

I've seen thread after thread about how new nurses can't find jobs right now. Since I'm "planning" getting into a nursing program next year I was curious. Does anyone see a turnaround in the job market within the next 3-5 years?

One word of caution he may resent you for having the better job. I know my husband does. We've been together for 10 years and it hasn't gotten easier. Just make sure that you can stand on your own 2 feet incase your boyfriend decides to split.

I wear the heavy shaping pantyhose when it really gets cold here. Check out legluxe.com has some interesting stuff.

Boy I hope I get preceptors like you guys. From what I've read here it's amazing that anyone has time to text, email, much less go to the restroom during the day.

oh my I do feel for you. I know that helpless feeling that you are feeling right now. I sat one year ago last month and helplessly watched Hurricane Ike plow a path of destruction that left my grandparents and aunt houses in shambles. Then I spent 2 ...

I work with leather, and use a heavy hammer.. It's amazing what a few swings of a hammer can do for stress relief...

Wow.. I don't know what to say after reading this. I'm not one who as a child who dreamed of being a nurse. What draws me to nursing is that I can affect people's lives. The job I have now is just a paper pushing job really doesn't effect anything o...

I worked for a DOD contractor before I became a DOD civilian. It's really horrible that they do that but it's the chance that you take when you work for a contractor. Be lucky that they offered to keep the employees who were working on the contract. ...

I have to say the same thing. Make your sleep top priority. For me the first 2 weeks were very hard. I bought a black flat sheet to block the light. I drink coffee nearly every night especially after my lunch. Everyone I know has lol.. a standing dea...

To put it bluntly I'm really extremely afraid of needles. I've practiced a few times at school on practice arms, but every time I was so scared my hands shook. Does nursing school take are of this? Does practice really make perfect or I'm just kiddi...

I am currently a DOD civilian. With military conflicts ending around the world, I need to have a back up plan. There has been some talk of down sizing at the base where I work. It took me a long time to get this job and I don't want to leave civil se...

that's a good idea jeckrn, i'll have to look into that

i love my night shift job, but i don't work in nursing. what saved me was sticking to a strict sleep schedule. i've worked in the same job for 5 years now, 2 years on days (0600-1430) and now on nights for 3 (2200-0630). i discovered very quickly wor...
