  2. Change of Heart

    ambz13 replied to ambz13's topic in School

    I just wanted to throw in an update: I was just offered a school nurse position in my area! I am so excited. It's a big cut in pay, but I think it will be so worth it. It looks like I'll be in a...

  3. Change of Heart

    ambz13 replied to ambz13's topic in School

    The job postings say BSN preferred. I'm currently working on my BSN classes, so I'm hoping that will help. I think the kind of stress that you describe is preferred to the current stress of my job. I...

    Thank you all for being so helpful! I looked into becoming a sub, but they require you to be on call for 2 shifts a week. I just can't do that and continue to work my job, or quit my job and only be a...

    That would be awesome. I am interested in a head start for sure! I have my CPR but it expires this time next year so I don't know if they'll want me to renew it now or next summer. I think I'll start...

    ambz13 posted a topic in Emergency

    Okay, so I was recently contacted by a nurse recruiter for a local hospital about an ED Tech job. I was thrilled since I have been wanting this particular job for the part 3-4 years. So everything is...

  13. ADVICE NEEDED! Fall Semester Dilema

    ambz13 replied to PinkEagle's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You may want to consider holding off and waiting for Spring 2015 since you would be starting nursing school with way more stress with the situation you described. Ultimately you're choice, but if it...

  14. Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    ambz13 replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    AmyRN that's terrible! I'm assuming you were told that they were 20-somethings? Sorry to hear and hope you get into your specialty in the future. I understand 20-somethings get a bad rep with high...

    ambz13 replied to bibirockz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Very true. I have been accepted to BSN and ASN programs and I just personally would like to keep my job while in school as it was difficult for me to get (and is in the department I want to work in...

  22. Montgomery College Fall 2014

    ambz13 replied to bibirockz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I don't think an ASN is a waste of time, especially if you're smart with your time. Getting experience in a facility you would like to work after your first semester (you'll be a CNA) is easier when...
