    Clinic (Doctor's Office) Nurse vs. Hospital Nurse

    TU RN replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't work in primary care so what I say has somewhat limited validity, however I have been going to the same PCP since I was a kid (like many people) and I've been through on clinicals so I know...

    Advice for a potential second career male nurse?

    TU RN replied to Iwannabea...?'s topic in Men in Nursing

    Proceed with caution. You're not fulfilled by your current career, so some other profession (any other profession really) has more glimmer. Of course the grass is greener over here because it appears...

    Clinic (Doctor's Office) Nurse vs. Hospital Nurse

    TU RN replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in a hospital as a new grad and get what you're saying completely about being metaphorically drawn and quartered by your work. My PCP is a DO and the nurses who work in his office, or at least...

    Unhappy camper looking for some advice from nurses

    TU RN replied to skigirl8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The grass is always greener? Maybe. I doubt it. You have an awesome gig and should stick with it. I would love to be making close to 6 figures so young, and to not have my knees aching after every...

    Success stories please?

    TU RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Could any student CRNA or CRNA share their story or path to success? What were your goals beforehand and (especially) how did you overcome any obstacles? I think there are a lot of young nurses out...

    Success stories please?

    TU RN replied to TU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wow incredible story! Especially the part about running into your old clinical manager and giving her the business. I hope I'm as fortunate to be in your position in some time. Thanks for

    New nurses feel like quitting?

    TU RN replied to Patti_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel like every career is going to be challenging the first year, whether you're an engineer, CPA, paralegal, whatever. I'm not talking just jobs, but careers. Professions. I'm 4 months on the job...

    Do you think physicians could pass the NCLEX-RN?

    TU RN replied to Lev's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They would probably kill the NCLEX, unless of course some wording gimmicks caught them up. The MCAT, and moreso the USMLE, are much more technical and scientifically-demanding exams. Putting these two...

    Less full time jobs out there

    TU RN replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    My job didn't offer me full time with benefits right away, but thanks to the ACA I'm covered by my mom's health insurance until 26. Even though I'm not financially dependent anymore. This would still...

    Doctor Anyone?

    TU RN replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just graduated with my BSN, but made pretty good progress in med school reqs (bio x2, gen chem x2, and orgo x2) in college. Basically all I need is physics and calc, but I don't know if it will ever...

    New RN - asked by former faculty to consider tutoring

    TU RN replied to TU RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've never used or been a tutor, so I don't know how it works. My reservation is that my inexperience in both nursing and teaching predisposes me (and potentially those I'll be tutoring) to have less...

    Kaplan NCLEX-RN Review Course, What to expect?

    TU RN replied to XMEEECHELL's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took Kaplan about 5 months ago. The first class was a lot of talking about the Kaplan class schedule and online tests/quizzes, the NCLEX itself, the Decision Tree, and some of the other established...

    Jealous that I have no life

    TU RN replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    A person vents that they are overwhelmed by something and seeks advice from others. Multiple people respond "it's not as hard as you're making it" and "I thought it was easy," and actually believe...

    Jealous that I have no life

    TU RN replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    futurenursedd - you have the perfect attitude for nursing school, plain and simple. Going to school should be treated like any other occupation: 40 hours a week, sometimes with overtime. Some take...

    new nurse

    TU RN replied to jakobyg's topic in General Nursing

    Hey man congrats on the first RN position! First thing's first I don't know how it is in your state, or if this translates to all states, but (in PA) CE credit isn't needed for the first license...

    Best men's watch for male nurses

    TU RN replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Timex Ironman. Cheap at ~$30, durable, and gets the job done. Blood done hanging in an hour? Use the timer. Taking a pulse? Digital with seconds. Get crap on it? Take it off and soak it in hot,...

    Words of encouragment...please

    TU RN replied to Suivredusoleil's topic in General Students

    Is your confidence shot? Are you shuddering at the sight of that beautiful GPA you had prior to nursing school drop off like an early Wright brother's project? Do you feel defeated? Then you're in a...

    New nurse doubts

    TU RN replied to Jk91's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi Jk91, I am also a new nurse and I think that every new nurse feels the way you do at some point. Sure they might acclimate sooner or not let on to their feelings of doubt, but we all feel it. To...
