    RoseanneMartin replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  3. RN to BSN or accelerated nursing program

    RoseanneMartin replied to DorothyR's topic in General Nursing

    Money talks. I decided not to go the accelerated BSN route @ $30-40k a year and chose the community college ADN route @ $2k a year. No brainer for me since I plan on having kids after I graduate and...

    RoseanneMartin replied to 0236797's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I dont know much about it, but OB positions here in Pittsburgh are typically difficult to get. I've heard from friends (nurses, NPs) that the nurses who have those positions rarely give them up. I'd...

    RoseanneMartin replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  10. Centrum Jobs, did somebody heard about this?

    RoseanneMartin replied to erisirene's topic in General Nursing

    You should notify authorities. They have teams working on scams like this. I found this on the web: There is NO company called Centrum Jobs in London. It's been reported many times a job scam that...

  11. New RN, not interested in bedside nursing

    RoseanneMartin replied to nf87654's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're young and not tied down, I'd say suck it up and be a nurse wherever you can for 2 years in order to gain experience, then go work on a cruise ship and travel the world,

    RoseanneMartin replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    RoseanneMartin replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    Stop. You can't please everyone. You are in survival mode and need to regroup! Put your husband first. Children second. Job/School 3rd. Friends last. If I were in your shoes, I'd go on a date with my...

    RoseanneMartin replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC
