I'm with General...worried about her license. I understand OP needs $$$.

Absolutely not. It's my passion, but pretty much modern day slavery. No respect. Crap opportunities. Low pay for what we do. Nursing is pathetic these days.

WildCat, I feel your pain. What other states have you applied?

Hun, I'm not trying to be a downer either. I would reconsider. Take a job at Starbucks, or anywhere, before you risk your hard earned license. A paycheck is all that matters right now!

Has anyone on this thread been hired since you originally posted?

I also think it's hilarious how nurses in denial are so quick to get defensive. It's just an opinion. If the field is so grand, you won't get bent out of shape.

I think it's funny with pre-nursing students or newbie nurses think this field will be better for them.

I'm stating my opinion. You should be able to see from my viewpoint too then.

I'm kind of shocked that people are still actually going into nursing.

In the long haul? You seem to be completely disillusioned lol.

I'm going to make the most of my license, but I have faced the facts. My advice: Run far the other way.

You obviously haven't googled "No nursing jobs" or "No nursing shortage" yet.

Google "No nursing jobs" or "No nursing shortage". Thousands of posts!

Nursing isn't profitable for what you put in. I live in D.C. and they offer $30. Disgusting!

Have you not done your research on nursing? BSN grads cannot even land a job.
