    Do you need all those degrees?

    OrganizedChaos replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't see the point unless someone wants to go further in their career. When I get my RN I will go through an associate's degree program. I will later get my BSN only because it seems everywhere I...

    8hr vs. 12hr work days

    OrganizedChaos replied to sjm30's topic in Nurse Management

    I like 8s but I like having the days off during the week like working 12s. Right now since I'm pregnant I wish I could work 8s, I know working 12s will kill me. But when I work 12s it's so much easier...

    OrganizedChaos replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I called in recently because I just found out I'm pregnant. It wasn't planned AT ALL! I was so nauseated then dizzy because my anti-seizure meds were changed. Thankfully my boss is understanding. I...
