  3. Why does everyone in healthcare not like their jobs?

    sweetie, just be a doctor and be done with it. if you already know what will be fulfilling to you there is no sense in doing something you really don't want to. in order to be a good Nurse...
  5. WHO MAKES MORE: NPs or RNs

    there has always been a big debate about if NP's salaries are worth the extra 2 years of masters preparation because some RN's do just as well working in the hospital. this is the way i see it... if...

  9. Do you now wish that you chose another career?

  10. What are advantages of per diem?

    the biggest advantage in my opinion is the increase of pay. as far as politics go....as long as you work well as a team and stay out of gossip this can definitely be avoided whether you are staff, per...
  11. All of the jobs that I want say BSN preferred

    apply anyway. when you list your education on your resume just make sure that you list that you will have a BSN in whatever month you graduate. example: USA University, Anytown, CA September,...
  12. working for insurance company?

  13. Why did you fail Nursing school?

    everyone is different. i graduated with women who had kids, pets, husbands...the whole nine yards and got better grades than the students that had no responsibilty and lived at home with their...
  14. considering their responsibilty, i think they should get paid more. they sacrifice alot to have that responsibilty, so yes i would want top compensation

  17. Attitudes towards RN's and lack of respect

    i really can't complain. i feel respected by docs, coworkers and patients. i am naturally a nice person and patients tell me all the time "you are the nicest nurse i ever had". i have had demanding,...
  18. don't quit. you are young and starting a career at your age will be one of the best decisions you could ever make. nursing is one of the most versatile careers available. you don't have to work in the...
  19. it is not isolated to the nursing profession. i know of many people in corporate america who have been through similar circustances. jobs don't care about you and that is why we must care about...

  22. Not able to continue orientation, feel terrible.

    yeah it will make you look bad. i remember another post of yours about how you really weren't too thrilled about working in the hospital as well as some issues at home with your husband. i think you...
  23. "It must be nice to sit in front of a computer all day"

    i don't even care what people think anymore. the only people i explain to what nurses do are those that seem to be genuinely interested. most people don't get it until they are sick or a loved one is...
  24. i know a woman that had a baby during crna school and she had to drop out. it was too much for her. she had alot of support from her family and husband but she never had enough rest (up all night with...
  25. Nursing school and babies
