  1. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    morphed replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing that matters is that you're good at your job, and it sounds like you

  2. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    morphed replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    To be an RN, you need 2 years of education. Starting out is around $20. If that's not "real" enough for you, set aside some time and go get a degree in something else or work on advancing your...

  3. Lonely new nurse/ do you have nurse friends?

    morphed replied to BFLORES's topic in General Nursing

    Be very careful about friendships your form at work. Take this time to realize that not everyone can be trusted and you should not be completely open and speak your mind with everyone. Be nice,...

  4. Happier With Your Second Career?

    morphed posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a question for all of you who have started nursing as a second career. 1. What was career #1? 2. Are you happier with nursing as a career than you were with career #1? 3. Did you get into...

  5. Who has the most "gravy" RN job ever?

    morphed replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    You're a liar. There, I feel better now, lol. But seriously, could the planets align and I somehow score that kinda stress free and yet amazingly paying job? How is it possible she makes so much?!...

  6. Disciplinary action?? Really?

    morphed replied to traumaQN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The employer now has a little notion in the back of their head that this girl is trouble. It doesn't matter that she was cleared, they'll always have that little doubt and when something...

  7. Happier With Your Second Career?

    morphed replied to morphed's topic in General Nursing

    Surprise me

  8. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

    morphed replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    "Ugh, you're right, you could save lives in nursing but at the end of the day what have you really accomplished? I might go back for a degree in business administration." hahaha (no offense to...

  9. Overtime?

    morphed replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think if a person wants to go into a high paying specialty/field because their biggest motivator is money as long as they are going to be good at their job. At the end of the day, the only thing...

  10. Staying put

    morphed replied to blessedmomma247's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean she wants you to go for a BSN? If that's too much of a commitment at once, how about going for an ADN? It's only one year if you can get some of your LPN to count towards it. I just...

  11. Overtime?

    morphed replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey, I 100% agree, I don't think it's wrong to go into a career/field/job for the money. You should do what YOU want. I just wanted to make sure that you knew all the work involved. My sister...

  12. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

    morphed replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    You should have said, "Oh, I don't know. I think keeping people alive is pretty worthwhile but others may disagree. It's all a matter of personal priorities I guess."

  13. am i making the right choice?

    morphed replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should tell your employer that is a full scholarship, too. They'll see how even more necessary it is for you to really take this

  14. Help! I need advice!

    morphed replied to juliebug's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would never consider "communication skills" when looking for a job or career. I know it's one of those things you list on your resume, but it's just there because interviewers like it. What does...

  15. am i making the right choice?

    morphed replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, if you're concerned about not being rehired after you finish school because you quit on them once, don't worry. Most places keep track of why people quit--family problems, medical issues,...

  16. am i making the right choice?

    morphed replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I would say go with the school; you have the rest of your life to work full time. You can go back to school later, but wouldn't it be easier now since you only got out of school relatively recently...

  17. Help! I need advice!

    morphed replied to juliebug's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not speaking from experience, but based on what I've read on this site (and others) LTC has a pretty high turnover rate. It's not like NICU where the jobs are really hard to find. Considering...

  18. Overtime?

    morphed replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Maybe, but the first question is would you be able to get into a CRNA school? Actually, I guess that's the 5th question...1. getting into BSN program, 2. Getting an RN position, 3. Getting into ICU...

  19. Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    morphed replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    One of two things will happen if you reach out to your father and actually get to communicate with him directly without the wife getting in the way... 1. You reach out to him and he doesn't want...

  20. New GRE

    morphed replied to morphed's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, I know, but still, it's teh worrier in me. Maybe they won't have time to perfect their grasp on the test before they start teaching it lol

  21. New GRE

    morphed replied to morphed's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I've already started studying. Just for clarification though; so you are planning to take the new test, right? It gets rolled out in August. Also, how are you studying for the test? What...

  22. is it possible to become certified as a medicare or medicaid nurse?

    morphed replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that's possible...medicaid and medicare are basically just a type of insurance. The people that use them (as with any insurance) go to whichever doctor that accepts them. I don't think...

  23. How much of a yearly increase in pay do you see?

    morphed replied to missie988's topic in General Nursing

    What constitutes going above and beyond the expectations of a 12 hour

  24. Interview wear - summer version?

    morphed replied to lei7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, that is a beautiful suit! I think a skirt or pantsuit is absolutely appropriate to any interview. It's funny that people question the appropriateness of a skirt because I was watching a report...

  25. How much of a yearly increase in pay do you see?

    morphed replied to missie988's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused about this. I hear this a lot but as someone mentioned before, I thought it messed with your retirement? Do people generally stay PRN at their old facility in order to keep their...
