    The entire post...expert level perfect, and so happy to see someone who gets it, and is willing to put it out there, as it is, political correctness be damned. I do not think I could have said it any...

    Its especially bad here in PA because we have migration from NY and NJ, two of the highest tax states in the nation. PA, by comparison, has dirt cheap cost of living, when compared to border states....

    Perhaps the goal is not socialization, although its debatable. If its not socialization then its straight up, wholesale greed from the highest levels of the corporate structure. I have been working...

    Its happening here. The BSN degree nurses are openly complaining that the hospitals here keep pushing more and more and more , upward past the BSN to MSN, all for the same salary as a staff nurse....

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    You hit the nail on the head, and one way to stop the sinful waste of time , resources, and money is to flat out refuse to succumb to the demands.....ie, stop feeding the beast with compliance. I...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    The RN-BSN enhancement degree is a worthless and nonsensical phenomenon that is battering nurses both financially and emotionally nation-wide, at the same time. More people need to talk about this...

  8. Should I disclose nursing school application for gap year jobs?

    panurse9999 replied to Nekrom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to leave off any mention of nursing school on your resume, and I say this because of personal experience. I was a second career RN, whose first career was eliminated through automation,...

    Thank you for words of wise-ness. The old fable keeps coming to mind as I read the volume of "just relocate" "just re-educate" responses: The person who continually reached for the high reaching...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I have even tried putting applications in with the rural hospitals and nursing homes (relocation required) to see if I get a bite, a call, whatever, and its been crickets. Sadly, I am actively...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly true...and the major magnet hospital near me has dozens upon dozens of RN jobs posted (BSN required) , that sit on the "careers" tab on their website year in and year out, going deliberately...

  12. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    In and out of various jobs over 20 years in this field, in a market saturated area that has always had more nurses than available jobs, and you are correct. What I have seen is a rigged set-up where...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    One take away from this thread, and a clear, undisputed fact...nursing will never be "professionalized" through any amount of education, as the propensity to eat itself alive from the interior, is...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm continually perplexed by the volume of responses here that trivialize the original post by stating "Just relocate"...as if I'm an 18 year old child with nothing and no one to consider, is able to...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I can live without the trolling insults. Spare me, and no, I won't explain why some people cannot just "up and move", not that an explanation is needed anyway, in an area that continues to churn out...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Its the market and way too many nursing schools in that particular area. Its a great school, and extremely expensive, with a very good reputation. ...but the pool of available hospital jobs are...

    I've never heard of a plumber or electrician having to pass a national exam, (maybe I'm wrong) but lawyers, doctors and nurses do. We should be able to work where we choose, just like our driver's...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct. I have seen, and worked, side by side with some of the "imports" that are being paid with subsidized government grants and relocation expenses. The hospitals that hire them advertise...

  20. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    CNAs??? What are those? Last hospital I worked in used the CNAs as transport aides, and we were lucky if there was even one on the floor, who was not also cleaning the rooms in lieu of housekeeping....

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second career nurse. If I had to do it all over again, I would have accepted the job at half the money years ago, during an enormous round of layoffs in my other career. I opted for severance...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    See my previous comment about re-locating. I'm not on here to argue, and shove my point of view down the throats of everyone dead bent on insisting I am wrong. I wrote the article based upon 20 years...

  24. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this too. The push for more and more education is a government racket designed to explode student debt, so that the politicians can swoon in , cancel the debt, give free tuition vouchers,...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    And plenty do not. A lifelong friend of mine was speaking to a Dean of Nursing at one of the most prestigious universities in the area, who graduates about 40 BSN prepared nurses each year. She was...
