Thanks alot everyone. Not all nurses have stressful jobs. A lot of plastic surgery and out patient surgery centers hire RN'S to take out ivs, take vital signs and pass out juice boxes. That's it. Also some nursing homes hire RN's for the sole purpose of passing meds and nothing really much else. I was going to pass nursing but I had a bad instructor for the practicum, If that hadn't happend I would have passed. Oh,well.

There are literally no good high paying jobs besides nursing. I realize that now.

I took it 2 years ago

I didn't like nursing the first time I tried it but I realize that there are no other jobs that will pay as much as nursing. At least not entry level, has any one failed nursing and went back in it? Also nursing is really flexible, no other job offers that. Do I have to retake the teas?

Thanks! I am sure she will pass the nclex in October.

I meant nursery nursing, sorry I put nicu.

No my mom doesn't speak english very well but in Miami there is mostly spanish.

My mom is 50, I don't think she can really handle a med surg job. I just think she needs a slower paced job in a not too busy part of the hospital.

'my mom didnt pass it the first time. She has to retake it.

Is it hard to find jobs in the nicu or nursery right away? They seem to be the easiest jobs in the hospital. Is there anything difficult about them?

what is PVT?

My mom is freakin out! She took the NCLEX this morning and she only did 199 questions but she ran out of time so the test stopped. Does this mean she automatically failed? She went to many NCLEX reviews and she said the NCLEX was nothing like the reviews she took ( KAPLAN and Pearson) She also studied Saunders book.

In life, we all have to make a living. Lets say I love to sing and I want to become a rock star. Only VERY few people make it as rock stars. We all need to eat and shelter

I kive in florida. I asked a nurse at clinicals how much starting rate is

this sounds bleak my mother is taking her nclex next week. I hope she will find a job

I know, I am not evil. I just need to find a way to survive! I am almost on the streets right now. I am 22 no job and since I failed, my parents want me to move out unless I can find a high paying job like nursing. Nurses make 50k entry level. I am so stupid to let it go

RN's in my state start at 50,000. Entry level nurses are the richest proffesion in the world!

I am extremely depressed. My whole family are nurses mother and all my aunts. They kept on telling me nursing is the only way to make money quick. So I enrolled in nursing school but I didnt pass the practicum and failed med surg II. I was going to a school where a class is 5,000 and I had a loan but since I failed I would have had to pay out of pocket and also to retake the class I would have to go a different campus that was a really far place. So I left the program and went to school to get an english degree because I am passionate about writing and magazines. I want to be a magazine editor. Unfortunately the writing market is going down and I am kicking myself for leaving nursing. I was only one semester to go. I can't think of a job that makes as much as a nurse. Does anyone have an idea for a non medical job that is high entry level and not too much schooling?
