   Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

   wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   What I really wanted know with this thread is about the other new grads, with or without a job--did the honeymoon phase/excitement wear off after about a year either way? I think a year is about what...

   Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

   wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   wendy, I just do not want to put myself in a situation where the patient load is unsafe to begin with and the whole losing licenses issues. The Board would probably look down on the safety issue even...

   Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

   wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   glycerine, I was a PCT for a short while. My point is this--whether it is healthcare or regular jobs (non-healthcare), you are typically over qualified when you get a license. I wasn't comparing those...

   wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   HouTx, no I am not drinking or doing any drugs. I get very worried that I will come out with a false positive (like a benign substance causing a positive) because my substance of choice was alcohol. I...

   Lynda, I do not have debt. Mine was free because my mom taught at the school. I actually switched majors three times, nursing being the last obviously. Nursing had nothing to do with the money, I like...

   Honeymoon phase wears off after a year--job or not

   wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I think one of my biggest fears is that not only do I not get a job, but if I do, would the excitement return? It scares me to think I am so exhausted that I am not excited about a nursing job. I am...

   wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   lori, no one is saying we aren't happy for you and OP. But, as someone who can write RN after their name (upon getting a job), and those who are actually working as nurses, there is reality. I can't...

   lori, I am not a veteran nurse. I did not go into nursing for the money. I actually like public health. I want nursing students to realize that it is not sunshine and butterflies; there is reality. It...

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am from a relatively small area. Not podunk, but small. I know between the school I graduated from and surrounding schools, they put out 200+ nurses a year (probably more). So, yeah, where I live...

    wish_me_luck replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a nurse...why would I be jealous? I want something that is not something 10 out of 12 people are doing. Everyone and their grandma is becoming a nurse because they think it will bring good money....
