Hello everyone, I am currently at a cross-roads. I have been pursuing my BS while working full-time in the healthcare industry (business administration side)...I am exactly at the half point with my studies and find myself considering a career in nu...

absolutely, OT is added income.

Stearnsy, yes i am absolutely sure. Keep in mind that you will see a higher amount taken out for withholdings, however, it's due to them being compounded over 6+ pay periods (hopefully less)

you only jump the tax bracket if you receive "extra" income (i.e. vacation time, bonus, raise (promotion not switching positions), etc) OP won't be getting any of these, as he has changed jobs (within same co) PTO is taxed higher (don't know the tech...

Wezzie is correct. your tax liability is what it is, they won't take anymore than they would have otherwise. However, if they fail to deliver on their commitment of "up to 3 pay periods" (which by the way sounds like someone dropped the ball on that ...

i'll bite...WOW *wine k, i think i've found the words, it goes something like this: Don't ask for help while insulting people (or advice they might dispense), it really isn't cute. Looks like you have the brains for the books, but lack in the person...

I trained OR nurses for over a year and a half (using barcode scanners in the OR to track implants) during that year, I developed a deep respect for nurses, I saw their interactions with the gods...i mean surgeons and their dedication to the patients...

Have you about Doctors Without Borders, it is a humanitarian mission and you get to practice as a nurse. or Perhaps as others have mentioned the Peace Corps might have nursing positions and you can remain active. just

I should have said...this is will be my second career. :)

31 (this year) I'm taking my first pre-req as we speak!

I had the same "headache" with my Hep-B series...i kept forgetting to get the follow up shot. We didn't have to restart the series when I forgot the SECOND shot. However, when I forgot the THIRD shot and went back a year later to get it I had to tak...

This is very true. Some programs have gone as far as NOT accepting students who cannot provide a valid SSN. No sense in having them go through the program if they can't become licensed.

Do not let anyone tell you any different! I've known people who dropped out from HS, were involved in drugs and had to take the GED to complete HS. These folks turned their lives around and got it together. One became a RN and the other is completi...

hi everyone, As I begin to review nursing programs, I am having a hard time understanding the ranking OR if there is such thing. I live in Southern CA and have many programs in close proximity. I know I want to go for a BSN, and I've been looking at ...

Everyone is so great for their input. Your words and experience have really answered many questions and given me a lot to consider. you've all made some decisions a bit easier also. Thank you so very much.

thank you Jules for your direction, these are great points.

thank you for sharing, this is exactly where I am. I am in a way glad that I have not graduated and can easily make the switch, without any student loans to speak of...perhaps this is the time when i can use that card. Best of luck on your new job!

thank you for sharing your experience! have a wonderful time in Africa.

Not too lengthy :) Thank you, this is a good way to put some perspective on it.

Thank you.

thank you so much for your input. I welcome all experiences...i suppose i was projecting some of my own insecurities about my age. I am 31 and feel rather old to be changing course, but I am to the point where i dread being at work in my cubicle.
