    Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    NurseGirl525 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask a question? What school did you attend? Was it a for profit by chance? Is it a nationally accredited school? Also OP, you don't have your license yet. Many places don't hire until you...

    Jobs (my license is on probation)

    NurseGirl525 replied to Slewis092476's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, in the ICUs in Indiana there is a large shortage right now. But, I do not think they hire licenses on probation. They are hiring many of us getting ready to graduate. I also know many...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Sarahlin's topic in General Students

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rickyv562's topic in General Students

    Ummm, do you realize how much it costs to go there?? It's a for profit, private university. Stay far, far away from schools like this. $160k for a degree is insane. Insane. How much do you think...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ejozef92's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you thinks it's easier to be a nurse? You are afraid of a test? So you are settling for what you think is easier? I have no idea about Lewis nursing or even where it is located. Your best bet is...

    NurseGirl525 replied to charleyq's topic in General Students

    As long as you have a script you are fine. I never told my school anything and they should not be asking those questions. It's none of their business. It's their business if you fail a drug screen...

    New Grad ED vs Trauma ICU

    NurseGirl525 replied to lesleyt1015's topic in Nursing Career

    Your husband won't have kids until you have a degree? I think that is a big part of this, you want kids, he won't. The fastest way to get a degree for you is nursing. For you, it's been relatively...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Is working as a CNA necessary?

    NurseGirl525 replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in General Students

    You shouldn't have to pay money to become a CNA after your second semester of the program. In most states you are qualified by that point. I will tell you I recently got a pct job in a hospital....

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    OP, you are getting some misinformation from people in here, which is why it is best to actually speak to the school themselves. Certain areas of the country are more impacted than others. Which is...

    PLEASE HELP! Career guidance needed

    NurseGirl525 replied to Fabery22's topic in General Students

    A nurse does do the work of an PCT often. Visiting a unit during a shift to drop something off does not constitute an understanding of what a nurse does. It doesn't. Can an I ask why you bothered...

    Should I continue to work as PCT to increase chances of getting RN job when I graduate?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Age discrimination at 40? You still have a good amount of years to work. If you were 55+, maybe, not at 40. Many hospitals prefer to hire people who have some maturity. With that said, you are...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Student1713's topic in General Students
