    advice on what to do or say to a friend from church

    NurseGirl525 replied to nurse~in~the~making's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused. Is she a friend, a church lady, a nun, or somebody that's apart of a nursing program? You are young, with a family. Why are you pursuing nursing? Are you a person that thinks nursing...

    Question for all nursing students

    NurseGirl525 replied to Budgiesmuggler's topic in General Students

    Pension over tuition

    NurseGirl525 replied to MindeMalcomson's topic in General Nursing

    Pension. You are almost 50. Why are you so worried about tuition reimbursement? I don't get that. So, say you want to go for your BSN, calculate how much that will cost. It really should not cost...

    Would you quit this job? Wondering why I became a nurse in the first place.

    NurseGirl525 replied to futuresctRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is still low for the area. I'm an hour and a half away from Dayton and starting pay here is higher than that. Cost of living is lower than CA, but most places in the country are. Except maybe...

    Emotional abuse

    NurseGirl525 replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students
