Okay, First off do not try to downgrade nursing school or nurses period. Guess what, I really am highly intelligent but do not need to go around and try to tell everyone else I am. Let me show you how intelligent I really am. (1) your 22, You have ...

Ahahaha I am an ADN too. I am surely an RN too. Lol!

40,000 w/ no experience in an economic time when there are literally NO jobs is great. 40,000 is much better than 000,000.00 if you ask me.

20 yrs ago 20.00. Wow, that was a lot more then than it is now as cost of living you know. Well, economy is bad so lucky to be offered a job, much less over 20 an hour, much less the people who cannot get a job at all. I am appreciatative of the oppu...

wow, thats great starting pay!

I was wondering because I have tried to read the whole affordable healthcare act in completion and I am caught up by the legality of it. I was told by my nurse manager the other day that our payouts will be determined by patient rating cards about h...

What floor of what hospital do you work on, I am willing to wait for the opening? To have not go through this belittling game the younger one's play. I'm a little older coming into this so it is really upsetting to me. Respect, when did that go out o...

Without all the details, I have been in your shoes. I wait until the person has everyone's attention and I look at them in the most ridiculous look that I can give. I would say something like Do you really have to treat me in such a way that is meant...

You are niave in your statement. You need to understand nursing by way of education you do not possess and then witness the working environments these nurses are in. None of them have seemed to hate their jobs to me. Read your post, and think about w...

Good point.

Never let anyone tell you you cannot do anything, how do people you do not know have that much power over you and who you will become. Its meant to scare you, its not for the weak.

I think there are great words above this sentence to really think about. You know, I am one with issues to AD/HD for one, and I could not read until I was in like 4th grade. I memorize everything. I can't sound out words (learning med terms, mmmm). A...

36 years of experience, Im betting on this answer! BTW, I am a new grad and I have met a nurse with 30 yrs experience and got the privilage to work with her for one day. My word the things she knew and taught me. I may stalk you with questions, bewar...

Im at will too, totally true, especially with all the grads out there looking for work? Tough situation.

I am in awe? Nights are usually short, and you're being switched from night to day. I cannot believe it. I need to work nights with my family situation, so that would cost me the differential and it would cost me about 400.00+ a month in daycare. I w...

Wow! Now that sounds good, a lot like my friend who did eventually get in. Wow, thats great, good benefits, pay, etc. With that info, I say wait but Im scared to tell you to do something that might not pan out. It sounds really good though! Congrats ...

My friend new grad from Ohio applied for jobs in PA, and got the job without even going to PA. Moved the next week, but I do not know if she had to wait for the new license. She did get hired though right away with the OH license. Apply, never hurts.

Did we go to the same nursing school? I was told the same things and YES they are all true. However, it does not mean that you cannot do it. If you have BP and you are on meds that stabalize your moods, you are good to go. I was scared to death and e...

I share the same fear. I have not been hospitalized so much, but I have been. The ER, me too. Psych today, is not the psych of yesterday. Prior to starting nursing school, I finally found a medication that worked. I could actually get out of my bed a...

Good point! Yes.... I see the insurance coverage changes as well. Thanks for the reply. I think maybe I went to a topic I should not have. If so that would be just like me, insert both feet into mouth at once:confused: I was in clinicals and some nur...

I am going to be honest. I have had a male nurse as a nurse, and I did feel weird at first. Not really because he was male, more it was really unfamiliar and I was not desensitized to the male entering the nursing force yet. I think that woman with ...

Okay, very serious now. Do you have history in the military? I was a candidate for multiple nursing jobs for the VA. My friend got hired it took a year to get her in? Becareful. Did they offer you the position. IF they offered you the position, and y...

Awesome, I am philosophy lover. The depth for which your thought is provoked.........

I would love to read it. I am interested in Kant and his work. Yes, totally difficult to break down. I do not know how all this works, so do you email me or what? Plus, what time would you need it back by? I have a grammar check program that I would ...

That is soooo cool. I am so moved, darn why didnt I think of something like that.
