  2. Hey CHICAGO Nurses $$ ?

    angel337 replied to 80sNurse's topic in General Nursing

    those stats sounds about right to me. unfortunately in nursing new grads make very close to what nurses with 4-5 years of experience make. it takes a while to get to 30/hr. but if you work pm or noc...

    angel337 replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with you 100%. but nursing schools are very smart, they know if they show nursing students the real deal, the shortage would be even worse. you get just enough hands on and shadowing as a...

  8. Please dont hate me for saying this...

    angel337 replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing

    angel337 replied to tbanurse's topic in General Nursing

    i would have reacted the same way. don't ever think you could be too overly concerned or "panicky" about someone you love. you are a mother first, no matter what your profession

  11. Depressed about oreintation schedule

    angel337 replied to kaybrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    angel337 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

  17. WHY do we need more nurses

    angel337 replied to getinfall's topic in General Nursing

    angel337 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing
