  1. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    Marisette replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hello Newlife2016. I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. I think your sentiments mirror many who have posted here in the past. It's so sad your child feels that you are with others more than...

  2. Regular hours?

    Marisette replied to maco1's topic in General Nursing

    If you like the work you will be doing, the hours may not make that big of a difference. I have worked 12 hours when I was younger and those 12 hours seem like a month on a rough day. I work 8 hours...

  3. RN's without APRN certifications working in capacity of NP

    Marisette replied to WLQRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    Marisette replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

  9. Burned out and looking for job

    Marisette replied to calhirn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. These is what it's like to be an "older" nurse in today's nursing market. Longevity and holding a job for many years is not an advantage. Demands for recent experience in the particular...

    Marisette replied to TamDar429's topic in General Nursing

    Are metrics related to the number of calls a nurse responds to such as one call every 10 minutes? Are metrics related to recruitment of the insured for certain services such as flu vaccines, case...

  14. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Marisette replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think I've heard this questions many times. Education is an overall a good thing for nursing practice. However, I don't believe nurses with BSN provide better care, as sometimes stated in this...

  16. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    Marisette replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    It's difficult to change to a non-nursing career. Employers don't give you a chance. Once your nursing credentials are listed as LPN or RN, they question why your applying for a non-nursing job. I've...

  21. I quit my Home Health Nursing job!

    Marisette replied to pcbnurse's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for your insight into home health and school nursing. Many nurses who work home care do so part time, in addition to another job, to supplement income. It's just too difficult to work full time...
