  1. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Nola009 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I'm saying that there are plenty of people coming from other proffessions/jobs looking to enter the nursing profession because other jobs' wages no longer cut it with the higher cost of living....

  2. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Nola009 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like we have an over supply of nurses because our economy is failing and nursing has been looked at as a secure, decent paying job. People just want to be able to provide for themselves and...

  3. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Nola009 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, the stress level and odd hours aren't really worth the pay. The nursing profession just goes to show if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you have a good business idea,...

  6. Have you ever disliked a nursing job so much that you quit without notice?

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Before I even started another 14/15 hr. shift, I gave my two week notice today. The manager barely bat an eye. A few others have quit recently--maybe she saw it coming. Now I just have a prn job and...

  7. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    Nola009 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Haven't done it because I'm often busy with other things and I strongly believe in encouraging my patients to do the most they can for

  8. Reconsidering Nursing

    Nola009 replied to mestiza98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The critical thinking and 'putting the pieces togeather' is supposed to come with time. Don't let the others get you down. They might be picking on you because you're new and they are miserable...

  9. I want to be an RN, but I am getting divorced, single mom and need to work right away.HELP

    Nola009 replied to annaliz04's topic in General Nursing

    As already mentioned, CNA is usually a two week course and a quick way for you to (maybe) make a living wage. If you don't see yourself going that route, I'd pick an affordable LPN program over an MA...

    Nola009 replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

  12. No, We Can't Offer You A Job, But.....

    Nola009 replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    Their language shows what they think of nurses. Tomboys who can be exploited. I wouldn't bother applying to either

  13. Fired and Devastated

    Nola009 replied to SweenyG's topic in General Nursing

    If he tends toward abuse, tell him you got downsized, not fired. That does happen, even in nursing. Then go on about your business and apply for other jobs including LTC. Contrary to what some people...

  14. Nurse with anger management issues/bipolar

    Nola009 replied to nancynurse009's topic in General Nursing

    Please gather whatever proof you can. Witnesses, pics of the fb posts, quotes, etc. Take it to HR. Take it to your state board. If this nurse is intimidating to you and your immediate bosses, imagine...

  15. The FIT Nurse

    Nola009 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why have it deleted? It's a conversation; people sharing knowledge and opinions. Maybe someone will read this later and their mind could be changed about some things. We can all stand to learn a thing...

  16. The FIT Nurse

    Nola009 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    The stress involved with working bedside alone can (let's face it, WILL) drive up cortisol levels thereby increasing hunger and body fat. Wait till you work bedside for a few years then come back and...

  17. how many careers have you had?

    Nola009 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, two of my former jobs could count as careers. One was health care related and the other wasn't. I've worked since I was 16 and have had many more jobs (that probably wouldn't be considered...

  19. do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    Nola009 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. It's a nice accomplishment and obviously things were learned through testing, studying, researching, and paper writing. Did you know that many nice, decent paying office jobs really only...

  20. do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    Nola009 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    No, because at the very least it's a learning experience. As in you learned some things about yourself, others, met some people, shared some experiences with them that will forever touch you and vice...

    What can I say besides I have an old kindle fire and I know how to use it? Most of the

  22. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the need for anyone to accuse a nurse with a different point of view of not having a "meconium of sense". In my opinion, that's taking it way too far. Especially without almighty...

  23. How old is too old to pursue an MSN?

    Nola009 replied to Ancientnurse18's topic in General Nursing
