  1. Would you do it all again?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to laski's topic in General Nursing

    No, I made 18/hour for 3 years in the southeast with no raises due to the "economic climate". I am officially broke! I just started a travel position which pays much better and I am much happier....

  2. NP salary too low?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I figured this would happen eventually. I am in a NP program right now. The schools are cranking out ridiculous amounts of grads. This gives an oversupply which reduces demand leading to declining...

  3. Realistic expectations of a nursing career

    gettingbsn2msn replied to jenoglv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will work only agency or travel--never directly for a hospital facility. I was thrown under the bus so hard that it took me 3 months to repair myself mentally for this career choice again. The...

  4. Help w/Advanced Health Assessment

    gettingbsn2msn replied to nurseshasta99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you have a droid? There is an app called prognosis. It is a game where you order labs, make evaluations., ect. It is fun and can be addicting. At the end of the patient's care it gives you an...

  5. 9 months until graduation, EXTREMELY worried I won't find full time work.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to TacticPatrick17's topic in General Nursing

  8. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Also when they fire you (as they did me) they will deny your unemployment. Luckily I am now a travel nurse and will never work for a hospital

  9. Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not the lucrative field that it once was. I know everybody says not to get into it for the money but I do not think one should take a vow of poverty either. The local hospital here is...

  14. Who is calling my references?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not like all this outsourcing of personal information. I called American Express and the guy in India had all my info including soc. sec. #. I cancelled my

  15. No burn out....enough is enough!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    No mandated nursing ratio nationwide because of lobbyists for hospitals. They and the government are in bed together. That being said, California does have mandated ratio's. It is AGAINST THE LAW...

  16. No burn out....enough is enough!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    I just read the "guilt trips" you all are on. Are you kidding me? Just turn off your phone and say the battery was dead (of course this could be why I got fired) but who cares I ain't putting up with...

  17. No burn out....enough is enough!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

  21. Unbelievable family

    gettingbsn2msn replied to cnstecky's topic in General Nursing

    gettingbsn2msn replied to 9064's topic in Correctional
