P.S. please go to a medical surgical floor to start you will never regret all the skills you learn on these units. Going straight to an ICU will not serve you well as you will not obtain the assessment skills and a multitude of other skills you will use forever. If being a good nurse is what you want learn all you can to better serve your patients. Learn to walk first.

It wonderful that you are considering a career in Nursing. Literally every 6 months to a year you can switch types of nursing within any hospital, this allows you to keep learning something new all the time and it feels like a completely new job each time. In other words you will never be bored. You don't really get interviewed by people, rather you interview them. On the other hand you may never get a lunch because you are always too busy, but then again this makes your shift go by faster. Also you only have to work 3 day per week and you will have four off. Nursing is the best possible career if you ask me; I hate be stagnant and not learning. Good luck to you.

I had a few minor discrepancies and knowone seems to care. Loitering where drugs are used and an assault turned to domestic violence charge and some various driving offenses.

Working this type of unit is very taxing. Knowing about various disorders may help you to get to know how you can better cope with the upcoming challenges of working neuro. Learn techniques to deal with difficult people and your own emotions and stress, however you can do this on your own. No need for a degree unless you want to specialize in wich case I recommend doing psychiatric nurse practitioner and work on neuro in the mean time. You will get what you need in clinical if you decide to do a neuro rotation.

No, I love working the holidays. I celebrate Orthodox holidays and I don't like my family anyway? Ha ha. But yes, I too love the OT because I refuse to spend anymore time away from home than my 36 hours so the extra money is aways appreciated. I work nights so management is never here anyway and that is just the way I like it.
