I'm lost. I want to quit floor/bedside nursing, but I don't know what to do as an alternative. I've been a nurse for about 2 ½ years now. I know that's not very long and some people might say that...
Thank you everyone for all your comments and for sharing your experiences with me. I've been trying to really reflect and narrow down why I'm so unhappy with nursing. I can't pinpoint any one...
Oh, yes, I definitely understand how lucky I have been to have the opportunity to work in areas other nurses dream of. I was just telling a friend the other day how guilty I feel about being unhappy...
Yes! Pliers like from Home Depot! They were definitely stuck in the 80's as far as equipment goes. I thought I was going to need carpal tunnel surgery if I stayed much longer.
Since this morning, my friend at the surgery center messaged me to let me know that they are hiring PRN. I can't afford to do PRN due to needing insurance for my diabetic daughter, but she mentioned...
I also had a case manager approach me today about a PRN position at the hospital I'm at now. Another PRN position tho...I really need full time for insurance purposes.
At this point I feel like maybe I'm just not cut out for the hospital setting. Maybe I'd do well with a doctors office? Mon-Fri with no weekends or holidays is appealing. I've thought about case...
Hello everyone! I wanted to start this topic and get some opinions on whether or not being on medication for anxiety will hinder me from becoming an RN? I am currently working on all of my pre-reqs...
Hello everyone. I am currently working full-time in an OR. I've been there for about a year and a half now. I'm miserable and would like to leave the OR and move on to a new department. I am a fairly...
Hello everyone! I thought I would start a topic in regards to SJRSC's spring 2014 Nursing Program. Today was the 1st day they started accepting applications for spring 2014. I have worked my fingers...
Idk about Chemistry and what all it requires. It was not a pre-req for the program so I just focused on the classes that were required. I will take Chem eventually, but my goal was to just do what was...
I got the fingerprinting and drug testing do done today, whew! It sucks that they dont do drug testing on weekends. There are 2 UPS stores on Blanding, but the 410 Blanding location, which is where I...
Well I found out a couple of things today. CPR classes are ridiculous to find available. The St Vincent's on Brananfield wont offer any until next yr and OPMC doesn't have any on their calendar for...
I see the deadline on the paperwork now....I completely ignored the part where is mentioned Oct 31. Ugh. It says we have to turn in our letter of confirmation and authorization forms, what qualifies...
education2nursing, I agree with eyesk8too, AP1 is a pre-req for AP2 but its definitely worth finding out if you can or not. If SJRSC wont allow it, then I would try to take one at FSCJ, maybe even an...
Btw, I forgot you were taking 5 classes right now, so ignore my previous post about all the madness of trying to get it all together! No need for any pressure!! I havent done most of what Im THINKING...
Oh Lord, I didnt know we even had a deadline for all of the stuff to be turned in. LOL! Let me go re-read my paperwork and see what I missed. So to answer your question, I have no idea.
Is it just me or do u feel an insatiable need to get everything in ur life organized and planned out? Lol. I feel like all hell is gonna break loose for the first semester, trying to manage school and...
I was way off! Hahaha.I dropped my acceptance letter off today, of course, they were closed so I had to turn it in at the admin bldg but whatever, its done.
