  1. Burned out and hate nursing

    lovetheocean replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I hate floor nursing. I'm a Case Manager and have more of an appreciation for it than direct patient care, though sometimes I wouldn't mind being a Women's Health NP in a clinic that's closed nights...

  2. starting to worry I'm to old (51) to be hired.

    lovetheocean replied to Patricia Moore's topic in Nursing Career

    I know and work with plenty of nurses over 50 who have landed superior roles in great organizations. It all depends on the location and pool of applicants. If you meet the qualifications, are...

  3. I dropped out. Please console me

    lovetheocean replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    There's a time and a place for everything. Scholarship or not, take time off and enjoy your life!

  4. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    lovetheocean replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    I was not happy when I had to provide transcripts from my RN program to my employer when I got a different job last year. I submitted transcripts to the BON before I was issued an ATT, so why do the...

    lovetheocean replied to jescalynn's topic in General Nursing

    I live in California, have been here all my life and have been thinking about leaving here. Someone posted about Cali always being in financial trouble, which is true. My area is not overcrowded, but...

    lovetheocean replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pepsi

  7. Two VERY low ball job offers in the last month...(management and leadership!)

    lovetheocean replied to SweettartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    The diploma mills and schools that award nursing degrees to anyone who has a previous degree in anything from communications to hotel management (BSN express programs) are to blame. The market has...

  8. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    lovetheocean replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think I would want to attend a program that doesn't call for paper writing. It builds character and allows you to grow professionally and academically. There are no shortcuts. And even if...

  9. Rant: sick of MAs

    lovetheocean replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "MAs are the future of medicine"? Not quite, Tyvin. They're not even nurses. Before becoming an LVN, then RN I was trained as an MA back in the day. We had 9 months of minimal training, which made us...

  10. Im a male and want to be a nurse

    lovetheocean replied to Smith5's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi Andy5, choosing a profession is not an easy decision. Since you know that you want something in the medical field, perhaps you can go to a career counselor and they can help you to decide. I think...

  14. How is the San Diego Job Market?

    lovetheocean replied to galletamonster's topic in California Nursing

    You don't know me, Murseman and I take offense to you calling me negative. I think it's really irresponsible for you to tell someone that the market in San Diego is great when people are vying for...

  15. How is the San Diego Job Market?

    lovetheocean replied to galletamonster's topic in California Nursing

    Run, don't walk in the direction of a field other than nursing...especially if you live in San Diego. Firstly, I love nursing. I have been a nurse in this town for quite some time and, though it's...

  16. Excelsior Graduates/ Students Support Excelsior Maryland

    lovetheocean replied to ltsgnn's topic in Excelsior College

    To the posters on this forum who stated that it is a "privilege, not a right" to have licensure, I want to let you know that it becomes a violation of your rights when you are issued a license and...

  17. Dropped from Kaplan nursing program

    lovetheocean replied to Hopefull RN's topic in School, College Programs

    If you were dropped for grades, it will probably be difficult if not impossible to find another program to get into. However, you can maybe start over applying to schools with your pre-requisites that...

  18. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    lovetheocean replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduated last year with an ADN. It was only after I got my first RN job a few months later that I realized how difficult it is for ADNs to get jobs, especially at hospitals with Magnet status. I...

    lovetheocean posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi all, I am writing to say that I passed the NCLEX-RN! I sat for boards on Saturday, March 3rd. I took the Kaplan class for preparation and also used the LaCharity book, which was the most helpful....

    That is so awesome! What an accomplishment. As a recent grad from Excelsior and new RN, I want to encourage you and other students reading this to stay strong; it can be done! Learn all you can...

  21. If I can do it, you can too (Single mom, worked 48 hrs a week)

    lovetheocean replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Great advice! To you and all the single moms out there, I want to encourage you to keep your head up! As a single mom, I got my LVN, kept going to school and just passed boards last week and am now a...

  22. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    lovetheocean replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry, but I will have to agree with the person that said you should perhaps try another option. Nursing, as you know is a very complex art. It's more than just passing an exam. You must have the...
