  8. I HATE nursing! (long)

    EDValerieRN replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    tired nurse, I have to say, from my own personal experience: please don't teach. I have had professors in nursing school that came from situations not unlike yours, and they didn't last. The pressure...

  9. Should nurses have MSNs

    EDValerieRN replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    I've not ever posted before, but I feel I should say something. When I looked around for nursing schools, I checked into both ADN and BSN programs. The closest option was BSN, so I applied and got in....
