    Need help from mom nurses please

    Pangea Reunited replied to Wanttobeamom's topic in General Nursing

    1. ADN is very marketable in some areas, but BSN is highly preferred in others. Make sure you're well aware of the job market in your area before you invest in nursing school. On some markets, ADN and...

    How do you handle co-workers who are extremely dramatic and are easily stressed?

    Pangea Reunited replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I probably fall somewhere in the middle as far as showing stress at work. I do have a tendency to complain when things get rough, but I also work with people who appear to be a super-exaggerated...

    First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    Pangea Reunited replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If that was my only option, I imagine that it would be looking pretty "good". I used to drive 1.5 to 2 hours to work each way. I didn't mind at first, but I eventually grew to hate it. You have...

    PROBATION with RESTRICTED RN LICENSE - NOW RN REINSTATEMENT : FORMAL HEARING

    Pangea Reunited replied to JC4me's topic in General Nursing

    The BON exists to protect patients, not to "care" about nurses or giving them second chances. I sympathize with you, but I wonder if you might be minimizing the problem that led up to restrictions...

    Part Time CNA Full Time Nursing School

    Pangea Reunited replied to MysticTopaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cut back to six hours a week while I was in school, and it still felt like too much. I made a few As, a few Cs and a bunch of Bs. I actually have no idea what my GPA was ...but I've always been more...

    LVN or ADN??

    Pangea Reunited replied to Rice_in_Space's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can a hospital retract their job offer

    Pangea Reunited replied to nadomel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That sounds rough, but I don't see how you'd have any recourse ...the same way they would have no recourse if they'd invested in you (background check, physical, etc.) and you'd changed your

    Public or Private Nursing School?

    Pangea Reunited replied to kristyadams10's topic in General Nursing

    Sleepy driving, near miss

    Pangea Reunited replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Luckily, I've never had that problem. No matter how dead and tired I feel at work, I instantly feel very alert and excited when it's time to clock out. I sing and car dance all the way

    Not competitive enough

    Pangea Reunited replied to hopefulmc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pangea Reunited replied to nsul1990's topic in General Nursing
