  1. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Fur babies are very good

  2. Need a BSN for what again?

    Horseshoe replied to ModernRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would also like to know the source for this assertion. It certainly is not true in my

  3. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    If you had a few children, your perspective might change considerably. Think about all the costs associated with children, from child care to medical to putting clothes on their backs, grocery bills...

  4. Do you invest?

    Horseshoe replied to William2's topic in General Nursing

    My DH has made a fortune in our retirement account by investing brilliantly in commercial real estate. It's actually amazing; he just has a midas touch. Thank goodness for him, because I don't have...

  5. Get my adn or lpn? Newbie here

    Horseshoe replied to AutumnFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your goal is to be an RN, go straight to the ADN or BSN

  6. LPNs that became RNs...

    Horseshoe replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Students

    With 8 years of nursing under your belt, you are not "at square one." You have simply expanded your role and yes, more will be expected of you. But you have a huge advantage over a new grad who has...

  7. BSN or degree in 'related' field

    Horseshoe replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Then you would be mistaken. I have two Bachelor's degrees, and the only one the manager hiring nurses for ICU cared about was the one that showed I had studied

  8. Help / Confused in life

    Horseshoe replied to potatoz's topic in General Students

    You are overly concerned with what other people think. I don't believe that has anything to do with your culture. You can't live your life in order to impress other people. So what if it takes two...

  9. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    There is no blanket nursing shortage. In many areas, there is a glut of new grads who cannot find jobs. Even experienced nurses have trouble finding hospital jobs in certain markets. You can't just...

  10. Relocated from NYC to Missouri to be denied a license please help

    Horseshoe replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I noted that a mere two posts

  11. Relocated from NYC to Missouri to be denied a license please help

    Horseshoe replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I get it now. OP is asking on behalf of his Mom.... I'm slow but I get there

  12. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that all depends on your definition of "great money," as well as your geographical location. 80 grand sounds like a lot to someone where the cost of living is very low. Not so much in places...

  13. Relocated from NYC to Missouri to be denied a license please help

    Horseshoe replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    So many are referring to the OP as "she" when he has clearly has a male image as his avatar. Why is that? I hope the OP has some luck in the federal realm. It would be a bummer to relocate, only to...

  14. Can you cancel your license

    Horseshoe replied to RescueNinja123's topic in General Nursing

    Again, it depends upon the state. Someone stated that in CA, you'd have to re-take NCLEX again (possibly depending upon how long license is

  15. Can you cancel your license

    Horseshoe replied to RescueNinja123's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the state. I don't think many states require re-taking the NCLEX. As stated prior, depending upon how long the license has been expired, in my state you would have to take an approved...

  16. Having a hard time with the people in my nursing school...

    Horseshoe replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

    No, this forum does not simply exist to allow people to vent. It's designed around the concept of feedback. As long as the posts do not violate the TOS, they are absolutely allowed to disagree and...

  17. Calling in for no sleep

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    kiakia, if you will use the "quote" button right next to the reply button, we will be able to see the post with which you agree-and so will

  18. Tuition Reimbursement How-To

    Horseshoe replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Nursing

    OP was never laid off or fired. He simply wants to do something else and wants it for free. IIRC, he already has more than one degree and doesn't "need" another one such that others must be compelled...

  19. License safety question

    Horseshoe replied to Ethio22's topic in General Nursing

    Read that other thread. So,

  20. License safety question

    Horseshoe replied to Ethio22's topic in General Nursing

    The only problem I could see here is if you were all LPNs. LPNs, while working under their own license and scope, must work under the supervision of an RN, APRN, or MD. But that's not the case with...

  21. Tuition Reimbursement How-To

    Horseshoe replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Nursing

    Note this as well: Collecting Unemployment Benefits in New York | Nolo.com Unemployment benefits are not intended to finance one's life while getting additional degrees in order to make a career...

  22. Tuition Reimbursement How-To

    Horseshoe replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of what the OP says, I don't buy it. I don't believe someone quitting their job to go to school full time is going to be approved for UI-without lying about their circumstances anyway....

  23. Failed out in last semester

    Horseshoe replied to Aspirational Beauty's topic in General Students

    Just curious why you think you will be "too old" to finish a given program. Nursing schools do not discriminate based on age. There are many non traditional college students in nursing programs all...

  24. Report Descrimination

    Horseshoe replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    I also don't like to point out poor writing skills, but these posts are actually almost incoherent. It speaks very poorly about our education system if someone can obtain a Bachelor's degree in spite...

  25. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    In my D's specialized Bachelor's program, they had a 100% placement statistic after graduation (with almost all offers coming by September of their senior year). Average starting salary was 99K, but...
