    nurseby07 replied to aussiemags's topic in General Nursing

  10. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    nurseby07 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's smart of her to research what she wants to do. She didn't ask me personally what I make, she put it on a forum about the career she wants to go into. What really is weird to me is that so...

    nurseby07 replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    nurseby07 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  17. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    nurseby07 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why do you agree with that? If your BSN program prepared you for the boards and you had to take all 265 question, didn't my ADN program do just as well, if not more, if I passed in 75? The differences...

  22. Should I be a Nurse??

    nurseby07 replied to ctnjason's topic in General Nursing

    This post has got to be a joke, right? Three day weekend, schools out, parents are gone, testosterone is through the roof. If it's not a joke: No, don't do it. You will be a crappy nurse. Go make...
