  1. Reactions to being a NP

    mmcc26 replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are so spot on. I am not a NP student, I'm currently working on a BSN, but I have to say... There are a ton of girls in my school who plan on becoming NPs because of the income and the fact that...

  2. Best place to buy a stethoscope?

    mmcc26 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm looking into a Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy one for the best price?I have looked online and I'm just reluctant to buy without hearing...

  3. Associates or BSN

    mmcc26 replied to Sophie15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's the same here in New Jersey. I am in an ADN program because all of our BSN programs are wait listed and it would cost me around $80,000 to go straight through to BSN. In the long run, for me, ADN...

  4. L and D offers. Overlook or Mountainside?????

    mmcc26 replied to liamssmile's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Yes it is! They're part of Atlantic health systems which was voted 49th best to work for by Forbes for 2013. I would absolutely go for it if I were you. Congrats

  5. Getting started in Peds

    Hi everyone! I'm still a nursing student, but with the job market being so dismal these days and this field so saturated, I could certainly use all the advice that I can get. How did you go about...

  7. Dealing with "haters"...

    mmcc26 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I have a bit of a story... I went to a family BBQ today to celebrate the 4th, and my cousin decided to take the liberty upon herself to tell me that she doesn't think I'm capable of...

  8. The Job Market for Nurses.

    mmcc26 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi everyone. I realize this thread may seem a bit redundant, I know there are many postings on here about this same subject. I live in New Jersey, and posted about this same topic in the New Jersey...

  9. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mmcc26 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    And furthermore - ignorant as I may be, thanks to people like you in the industry, I will flourish in my position when I find one, because I will go the extra mile to make sure my patients know that I...

  10. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mmcc26 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    First I was a "cry baby" and "whining", now I am ignorant. I think ignorance is having a stable job and knocking other people for voicing their frustration that they can't seem to find one. That's...

  11. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mmcc26 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Perhaps you should have googled some information before you found it necessary to join a thread to try to belittle people who are frustrated at...

  13. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mmcc26 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess maybe we should all find comfort in the fact that I think the burn out rate will be extremely high. All these people who go into nursing for money or job stability will absolutely hate their...

  14. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mmcc26 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    You took the words right out of my mouth. It kind of drives me nuts how many people are apparently going through nursing school because they think there's this plethora of jobs out there. I've read a...

  15. Getting started in Peds

    mmcc26 replied to mmcc26's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you for your reply! It's very reassuring to hear positive stories about new grads being hired. I have a bit of a way to go, but the prospect of finding a job after graduation sounds terrifying...

  16. Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?

    mmcc26 replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see a lot of people are telling you that you don't have to be passionate about nursing to be a nurse. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I disagree. Those 12 hour shifts and the dirty side of...

  18. Peds: How do you handle it?

    mmcc26 posted a topic in Pediatric

    I'm strongly considering pursuing pediatrics because I am very good with children and believe this could really be a good match for me. I also have my doubts, because I'm not sure how emotionally...

    mmcc26 replied to MsNurseMS's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Right now, no. But I have been looking into RN to BSN programs. I spoke to someone from Rutgers who told me that the tuition for this program is $895. per credit and expected to go up in September, so...

  21. A day in the life of a NP

    mmcc26 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone. I'm currently a nursing student, part of the reason I am going into nursing is that the job offers so many options, one of them being becoming a nurse practitioner. I'm just interested in...

  22. Forceful opinions

    mmcc26 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I posted on here a week ago about a negative experience with a family member sort of "putting me down" about my choice to pursue nursing as a career. I've come to notice that a lot of...
