    33762FL replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Has there ever been a Yahoo article on any subject that wasn't completely asinine? They must pay unemployed journalism majors $25 per document just so they can fill up space on their webpage or...

  5. This made me mad when I saw it.

    33762FL replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a job for a medical assistant but medical assistant isn't a degree from a 4-year college. So either they're totally clueless, or they want somebody who went to a 4-year school for some...

    33762FL replied to Nurse_Sherlock's topic in General Students

    My first BA was in English. It was easy and took no creative thought or effort whatsoever, at least at the school I attended (which was difficult to get into and prestigious) and the professors I...

  7. Failing classes & discouraged..3rd year. Need honest advice

    33762FL replied to Nurse_Sherlock's topic in General Students

    My impression is that if you can't handle the pressure of nursing school you can't handle the pressure of BEING a nurse, which is a 100x more intense than nursing school. Change your major to...

    33762FL replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. 100k salary?

    33762FL replied to pilot833's topic in General Nursing

    It depends where you're located. $30/hr is lower than even what a new grad makes per hour in a hospital job in my area. So for example, you can make more per hour around here, and if you work OT or...

  10. Entry-level nursing and prejudices (need advice on career change)

    33762FL replied to leenak's topic in General Nursing

    Age and weight discrimination exists in ALL fields. I see no reason why it would be worse in nursing than your current job, IT. The red flag here has nothing to do with your age or weight, but the...

    33762FL replied to wsp4905's topic in General Nursing

    Many PEOPLE these days come from broken homes, as the divorce rate exploded in the 1970's and 1980's. It's leveled off since then, but only because many people of lower education and income levels...

  12. Why are some people so successful while other's are failing

    33762FL replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    33762FL posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a relatively new RN - 8 months of med surg and 7 weeks on my current unit, which is faster paced and shorter shifts than my old unit. I've been holding up well enough so far, until an inicident...

  14. Afraid I started a hostile situation

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify - I did not, and would NEVER mention any suspicions I have about racial factors to the manager or anybody else at work. I only mentioned it anonymously on

  15. Afraid I started a hostile situation

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    The manager is concerned about patients and family members seeing or hearing unprofessional behavior, and how wants to talk to the other RN. It's a union facility and this is a senior RN who has been...

  17. I love being a Satanist nurse.

    33762FL replied to canoehead's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    33762FL replied to canoehead's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  20. Whats the percentage of new RNs who "make it" after orientation?

    33762FL replied to lilybug12's topic in First Year After Licensure

  21. New grad nurse - purposely work part time?

    33762FL replied to SoCal student's topic in First Year After Licensure

    " it is pretty dubious that part-time nursing is going to pay 40k/yr in most places unfortunately." you can absolutely make $40k working pt as a brand new nurse at my facility, and it's not even in a...

    33762FL replied to SoCal student's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've worked part time med-surg at a hospital since I graduated and passed NCLEX. The trend around here is to hire nurses as part time so the hospital doesn't have to pay nearly as much in employee...

  23. SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    33762FL replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    33762FL replied to lwang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
