    I've had a migraine for 3, going on 4 days. I don't know what to do. I went to the ER & all they could give me was Benadryl (didn't help). I was hoping to hear back from my OBGYN's nurse but not...

    Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    OrganizedChaos replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a new LVN, I started out in PDN. HUGE MISTAKE! I would never recommend PDN/home health that doesn't have at least a year of hands on clinical experience. You are on your own & have to be sure...

    I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    OrganizedChaos replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Get out of the hospital & work in a different field. That's what's so great about nursing. If you are feeling burnt out, try something

    WILTW 10/15: The Right Hand Burns

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm dying to get back to school & start working. The fact that DH only makes $1,600/month is the main reason. I know my mom is getting irritated with us (DH & I) because she thinks we aren't...

    Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not talking to nursing hiring managers or to HR directly, what those people say mean next to nothing. Why would a doctor know how nursing pay works? Sorry, but the reality is that pay...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not a calling to me, just a way to pay the bills. A career I know I can advance at. But that being said, I think it's rather arrogant to come on here & ask what the lowest stress,...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    You're job is to save people's lives. So you should worry somewhat at work. If not, that makes me scared. Because no nurse is that confident. If they are, they're lying. You will get yelled at or...
