Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has some advice for me. I have always been so nervous of working in a hospital, I find it very stressful, and I am scared that I will make a mistake and harm a patient unintentionally, however I also feel the need to face my fears, and I like the idea of working in a hospital, being on my feet and looking after patients and learning. So currently I work in the office at a home care company doing scheduling and client care co-ordinating with some RN work in the community. The benefits and salary will be better in a hospital and I will get experience....and I will have more opportunity for growth and a more social working environment. So in terms of pros and cons the hospital wins. BUT what happens if I totally hate it? Oh decisions!!! I am in BC Canada. Any advice? Thanks :)

Thanks all:) I am in Canada. Not sure how different it is here. Just seems a lot of money to spend, especially if there is little difference in salary.

Hi nurses, I am an RN from South Africa, however I have a diploma and not a bachelors degree. I would like some advice on whether it is worth studying further and spending thousands of dollars to get my Bachelor in Nursing, and if it is the best way to go about it. Anyone else been in my shoes? Thanks a million:) Tarryn

Hi nurses, Is there anyone from Canada here? I am an RN from South Africa but practicing here in British Columbia. I don't have my bachelors degree, only my diploma. I am wondering how I can get into Wound Care as it is something that I have always had a passion for. It seems as though you can only do certificates in wound care if you have your Bsn. Any information would be greatly appreciated:) Tarryn
