    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    We pay our own bills, we just live with my mom. His parents don't pay for anything of his. I don't think forcing him to go to school so he can be a plumber or something he hates would be a wise...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    There are only 2 daycares in town, 1 is family run. We don't have a Y. I wish I was kidding. Yes, the town is THAT small. We do have a Walmart & a movie theater (with outdated movies). But to go...

    How easy is it to lose a license in correctional setting?

    OrganizedChaos replied to reptilesavvy's topic in Correctional

    I've never heard that. I've heard that about LTC. I've worked in a prison, jail, detention center & never worried about my license. Just be a good & prudent nurse. Yes they are inmates but...

    There really aren't too many options in Texas. I looked into EC but I don't like the clinical test at the end & I don't know if Indiana State is accepted here or if I could even get a clinical...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Well if I can't get a job, then what else am I suppose to do? My husband is working & our bills are met every month. I *want* a job but if I commute too far then at that point there will be so...

    OrganizedChaos replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    OrganizedChaos replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Work is more stressful, no doubt about it. School is stressful but that is only for a 1-4 years. But you work for year & years & years. You have people's lives in your hands & have to deal...
