Hi, everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knows if school nurses get paid maternity leave. If so how much? I am seriously thinking of applying for a school nurse position and I know we will trying for a baby in the next year and cannot do unpaid leave. Thanks.

So I've been a nurse a little over a year and I absolutely hate it. I'm physically and emotionally drained. I'm tired of the anxiety attacks before work, and feeling like a failure after. I really want to quit but I can't because I have a mortgage and bills to pay. Does anyone know of non bedside jobs that are more easier to handle. I would prefer insurance company nursing but it seems they want at least 3 years nursing experience. I just don't know what to do. Will anyone hire someone with 1 year of experience? I'm just trying to stick it out one more year in bedside but it's really hard. Please help!!

Hi. I'm looking for a job that isn't in the hospital setting. I did a year in the hospital on a telemetry unit and absolutely hated it. I'm wondering if I'll ever like nursing . I've been looking at Ltc facilities as well as home health and county prisons. My problem is when I look at reviews everything is negative. Everyone is always complaining about their job and I don't know if there will be a nursing job I will actually like. All the negativity is so discouraging I'm getting depressed in the job hunting process. I guess I wanna know is there anyone who actually likes their job that isn't in the hospital? Or is it just gonna gonna be a living he'll wherever I go?

Try Harbor hospital. That is a good place to start especially with an ADN. A good handful of my classmates got accepted around the same time I did. Everyone there is pretty friendly and helpful. Also check out Johns Hopkins Hospital. I worked there as a tech. I may be able to talk to someone for you if you are still interested. Inbox me if you want more information. Good Luck!!

I understand how you feel I just got hired after almost six months of searching but I basically had to bug the hell out of the HR lady. Just be persistant. Once they see how much you want the job they will find a way to get you in for an interview. Good luck!

Do they accept nurses with an associate's degree? Or is bachelor's required?

Who made it into the RN Nursing program at AACC?...if you did reply to this thread...we should have some kind of party where we all get together and celebrate...turns out UMD wasnt for me and im glad cause i didnt have the money to attend. I'm glad to have been accepted at AACC!!!!

same here with "commitee ready"...this is rediculous

Mines still says commitee ready...

I haven't heard anything yet. I am hoping we hear something before the 20th or even before the 16th!!

thanks grey lady i will PM you.

well i would be working in at home assisted living and i would only work 4 hour a day from 6 to 10 p.m. do you think that will work? i ask because im moving into an apt and i need some sort of income because my parents are moving out of state and im staying in md

I applied to BSN for spring 2011 but i will be working part time regardless I think it's gonna be a lot of stress trying to juggle school and a full time job. But that's just me some other people may be able to handle it

same here im excited but nervous at the same time...i think i got in though im trying to stay positive

yea that's what heard and hopefully its true because i think i have 1 c in spanish
