Ahh yes, I have been eligible for cpne for over a year now, have all the money just no motivation. Here is my issue, I have sat back and laughed at this Excelsior program, I truly found the tests ridiculously easy and have not cracked a book for the ...

She should shut her mouth?!? Really? She isnt entitled to ask questions or share her experiences? Exactlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy why i agree with her about the negative rotten un-uplifting attitude from the majority on here. What a joke. I feel so sorry for al...

Lol I find it so amazinggggggggggg that nurses constantly ***** and complain they have no time, no time, no time, yet they can find endless supplies of it to gossip and stir the pots, big people talk about ideas and possibilities, small people talk a...

I am so sorry for what you are feeling right now, I can understand as I am constantly complaining about how rotten nurses are to one another, so here are some options, do you live in a state where you can obtain a medicaid billing number and take pat...

The thing I never ever could understand in this profession is why the nurses are so rotten to the new or new hire nurses...... I mean isn't having more staff a good thing like now you all don't have to work 60 hrs, but um I guess sometimes common se...

hoopschick, I like what you say about not knowing what you dont know til you know it, reminds me of my dad lol he has forever said to me "I have been 20, you havent been 47" or whatever age I am at the time and whatever age he is lol, very good point...

Lol pedicurn, not all of the young ones are slim and beautiful, see what I mean about everyone being snarky? No wonder nurses have a bad rep and have trouble gaining respect as a profession, It is what it is, anyone is welcome to pick things apart on...

I am so with you on this subject, it happens all the time, like I say nurses eat their young, it is rare to find a supportive envirnment I mean read these posts half the time they are bitter and mean, condescending, ridiculing posing as know it alls,...

K, No you wont hate being a nurse because you hate being a tech, I hated being a CNA with a passion it was just a stepping stone in preparation for nursing school, some of the best nurses have a tech or cna background, and contrary to what alot of nu...

The start for upstate NY i $21-$23/hr hope this helps:)

I dont really know how it works in the hospital.... in homecare we call child protective services to deal with the non compliant parents, and document everything also we are privelaged enough to refuse to provide service

I work tons of night shift and yes it happens to me all the time, think about what you know about the circadian rythms of your body and the endocrineology, your body isnt really made to sleep during the day and work at night, talk to a good nutrition...

I feel a major issue in nursing is the limiting of L.P.N's. L.P.N's go into school with the dream of being a nurse they work hard and learn everything the R.N knows aside from the associate degree english etc. They also do alot more clinical hours th...

you have never heard of a sheeple? yes i am a 13 year old nurse lol, and its not apples to oranges think about it really... im done here i take it ppl get bored and like to knit pick rediculous things, this is another reason ppl dont go into nursing....

ahhhh yes mission accomplished here as well lol look how easy all the "sheeple" follow, i personally am fine with not "showcasing my intelligence on here", im a fine nurse all the way around the same as the rest of you, we r all different and thats n...

oh excuse me honestly didnt mean to offend anyone , i was just trying to make light of the matter, sorry again, and its not a cartoon its a real portrait and i was just adding to the fact that men can be pigs and stereotype nursing as a hot professio...

lol i get that part, its like the little old men in the nursing home tho.... whats it hurt for them to look its not as if they are ever gonna get it, so the pigs like a good look at hot nurses... its an old thing that nursing is a sexy profession um ...

lol why is everyone so mad, I think its pretty funny come on am i the only sexy nurse on here who enjoys the fact im super smart and sexy and represent a real life fantasy? my husband had a real portrait pin up girl style of me in a sexy nurse costum...

Oh I also forgot to mention the reasons I chose to pursue my rn.... money and further seperation from bedside nursing. I love being an lpn but i have to do this for the next 25 years might as well open allllll the doors and the better pay wage, in my...

So true! Nursing is a wonderful career, but like anything it can be learned, great nurses are made from all sorts of stock, and the reasons why we got here don't really matter the fact we did and survived does;)

Good for you premed13 glad that you are able to put all your feelings aside and just pursue your own path! Im still pretty bright eyed and bushy tailed myself I graduated nursing school w my lpn at 20 and have been a nurse 7 years, lol however just y...

I will say it like it really is for me, i didnt like the crappy pay for being a great cosmetologist but loved the work and field, I hated the job and the pay as a cna, I know everything the rn knows as an lpn and dont get paid for it soooo I am finis...
