Wow. I hope the best for you.

I made some here and there. And yeah, you feel like a complete moron afterwards , but you suck it up (learn from it) and keep on working. Slowing your row down helps.

The first 1-5 years after graduating? No. Afterwards you get tired of the bs and go back to school to be an RN where you encounter more bs.

Ha. Try going to school in the army as a medic or as an LPN. Wait, these students wouldn't even make it past boot camp (8 weeks) let alone enter AIT (Advance Individual Training) to be a medic or an LPN. They'd be toast (smoked) sitting around like t...

It could be worse. Back then(the 1990s in my experience), the nurse to patient ratio was ludicrous. It wasn't uncommon to have 1 RN take care of 8 patients. Well, in some cases(seldom), that lone RN had an LVN and some CNA's to help her/him out. Toda...

Definitely. I work with "men" like that. Whatever. 10 more years and as you get older, time flies. I won't miss these clowns when I retire my scrubs.

Hmmmm....Because hospitals are full of women? Ahh...oh...Now I've done it (lol here comes the Nazi PC police). I'm a dude. It's not in our nature to be gossipy. I'm also a city boy. We have a saying: Snitches get stitches! Just kidding. 10 more years...

You won't be the last to quit nursing just right after graduating. I see it all the time @ my hospital. I've worked with bright and young nurses straight from that university or a state college. Once that call light goes off they soon find out that n...

I wish I kept my books(sentimental and nostalgic reasons). I gave them away back in the 1990s lol.

10 more years and then I'm moving on to something else . I'll still be too young to retire completely 10 years from now, but I don't plan on being a nurse anymore. I've been taking care of people since the early 1990s (Man, I'm freaking old) when I w...

I feel ya. When I was a CNA back in the 1990s, I did (95% of the times anyway) what I was told by the RNs , managers, MDs, and when I was in the military, by anyone out ranking me. You don't come to work THINKING YOUR SPECIAL lol. You're there to wor...

LOL. Lazy people are everywhere @ the workplace. From the HBS all the way down through the nurses aides. ROFLMAO. Lazy people, greed, office politics, and so on. LOL.

You said it caliotter3. I worked LTC along time as a CNA and as an LVN and if you can't hack it in a SNF passing out meds and doing treatments , what makes you think you can get hired by the big bad hospitals if you're already talking about quitting?...

From an ex-soldier to another.....Hooah!!!! Btw, I'm an ex soldier because I dont like living off a duffel bag, no porcelain toilets, no regular showers, standng in line to eat, and no king size beds. Lol.

I'm off tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday!!!! Best of all, my day went well today prior to clocking off. I'm just going to clean my place, exercise @ the beach (hopefully see some sexy bikini clad mommas), laundry, and then drink a beer..not beers..A be...

I have a stoic and serious look all the time. I'm just a hardened nurse with compassion running on fumes.

I've been a Ronin healthcare worker for over 20 years in the military, med surg, telemetry, long term, registry, and behind a chair. Never had the urge to take drugs to do my job no matter how stressful it got. I guess I was lucky to have parents who...

Too be honest, I liked being a CNA compared to being licensed when I was in my 20s. Yeah, you work hard answering call lights, cleaning up pts, bed baths, emptying foleys/urinals, stocking up, vitals, I/Os, QCing the crash cart, drawing blood, insert...

I've been in nursing too long to even care.

Back in the 1990s I'd say because we were caring and crazy at the same time for getting into nursing. We didn't have the nursing/patient ratios back then and WE WENT ON STRIKE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO IMPROVE THE PROFESSION. Today, I'd say because it's...

Nursing is a bubble waiting to happen. Just like the Dot Com days and housing. I remember back in the 1990s, NOBODY WANTED TO BE A NURSE. In fact, I used to get insulted (I didn't get spit on or anything like that, but got dirty looks) by people for ...

When I was younger, I worked night shift @ a major hospital here in California. Man, those were good times. What I remember the most about the nigh shift were all the women....Never mind.

The worst job? Mcdonalds when I was 16. The best job(s)? - Medic in the army - certified nurses aide - unit coordinator/clerk - teletech - plebotomist - LVN - RN

What major hospital doesn't offer a pension after you've vested? If you work in a SNF or a convalescent hospital, you should have been looking to transfer to a hospital while you were young enough to do it. I started off in long term back in the earl...
