    itsmejuli replied to Fresheart's topic in Nursing Career

    I spent close to 20 years living in Clearwater, across the bay from Tampa. I moved far away (back to Canada) because of low pay, lack of health insurance, lack of jobs, increasing crime, bad economy,...

  5. Am I too old?

    itsmejuli replied to etexaslady's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad RN do you think you'll make more money than an LPN with all your years of experience? Given the current job shortage for new grad RNs do you think you'll find a job? Are you thinking of...

    itsmejuli replied to army mommy of three's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, job shadowing is a good thing and exactly what the manager said. They want to see if you are a good fit, if you learn fast and if you learned something in CNA school. So when you go in, don't...

    itsmejuli replied to Blueorchid's topic in Critical Care

    itsmejuli replied to GunMetalBlack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly? If I was in your shoes I wouldn't think of going to school until I had that $80k paid off and then could pay cash to go back to school. What is your current degree in? Are you working in the...

  19. End of life "gibberish" - are we missing something?

    itsmejuli replied to bryce's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least there were 3s in there. If there had only been 1s and 0s then perhaps they were speaking in binary code. That would have been creepy. Sorry...couldn't help

    itsmejuli replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    "God must want me to be a diabetic" What was your reply to this? How did the rest of the conversation go? You've left out a lot of information. His statement sounds more like he's given up on life...
