  2. Why did you become a nurse?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Valerie99's topic in General Nursing

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    AspiringNurseMW replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    " It's also raised $42 million-and counting-for the ALS Association. The group is almost speechless with delight and surprise. During the same time last year, it raised $2 million." How is that not an...

  10. What would you choose? Dream Job or Dream Hospital?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to sugar12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say M/S. Especially because you don't seem all that excited for L&D. Get your experience and then you will be able to apply to different positions at your dream hospital when the...

  16. What kind of Nurse Should I Be?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to sillyy816's topic in General Students

    I'm just starting my prerequisites reqs so I may be totally wrong. School nurse? Post partum nurse? there is a lot of teaching there. Then teach after your masters/PhD. Have you done clinicals

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I think it's part of the helicopter parenting that is common now-a-days. Coddling and overreaction are part of that sometimes. I've been to the ER twice as a kid. Once when I broke my elbow falling of...
