If I had it to do over (and I am!) I would not choose nursing. Nursing is not as respected as it used to be. It is hard physically and emotionally. It is true there are so many areas of nursing. Some are better than others. I am amazed that there are...

"I was licked by a racoon 2 days ago." Yes, licked. "My little finger hurts when I bang it into things." "Did you injure it?" "No, it only hurts when it hits stuff."

It is not just age. I am thirty. I became an LPN at 21 and an RN at 28. I have been sick of it since the first year. I went into nursing because it was suggested as a stable career with decent pay and flexibility. Flexibility has a downside. The only...

These are just good examples of opportunities to educate. It's better to have those patients than the ones who feel the need to tell you how to do every detail of your job. But I get what you mean. Sometimes the lack of knowledge of basic anatomy is ...

I have this love/hate relationship with nursing. Some days are great and some are awful. If you really want to be a nurse, then go ahead. It is HARD work on even the best days. It's tough out there for new grads, older nurses, and just about everyone...

Magnet...pfft

No wonder so many nurses are leaving or planning to leave nursing. And the soon to be new grads are so eager...for a while

I agree. Nursing is not as respected as it once was. I am an RN-BSN student trying hard to maintain enough enthusiasm to continue with school, and hopefully make it to grad school, though probably not in nursing.

Good luck with everything. If I had it to do over, I would not choose nursing. It is not worth the stress.

Some things all floor nurses need to know about the ER- First thing- Sometimes we have to call report without seeing the pt. I can't count the number of times I've had a chart shoved at me from a charge nurse as they were saying, "Call report on xyz,...

Thanks for the video! It really is a great school :)

Thanks Jeanette73 for responding. I'm new to AN. I've been reading for a while but just joined. Do you get notifications when someone responds to a post or question? I know I would prefer working with kids. It's good to know there are jobs out there....

Jennifer0512, I was just wondering if you've found a job yet. I'm interesting in pursuing a PNP program and I'm worried about the job market. I don't see many jobs advertised. Thanks

Does Holy Cross employ CNM's or NP's?

I just wanted to add that I did check to see that they were actually in the accreditation process. Being that they are regionally accredited and not by any means a new school, I have no doubt they will get their CCNE accreditation. It is a small ris...

I am enrolled at SNHU. I started as a Creative Writing major, but recently switched to RN-BSN with plans to finish the writing degree after nursing. I live in GA and have my ASN from Excelsior. I start my first nursing course in about 12 weeks, and t...
