  1. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today's the first time I've come across this site. I'm considering a major career change, and looking to possibly get into the field of nursing. I am curious as to how many people who post here...

  2. Truly sad- please read and consider

    KatieD replied to ShannonB25's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like Shannon is doing something very noble... she wanted more of a challenge, and decided that she'd find it in nursing. I think Shannon will end up being the type of nurse that people...

  3. Truly sad- please read and consider

    KatieD replied to ShannonB25's topic in General Nursing

    Shannon, I'm not a nurse, thinking about going into nursing, though, and I thought I might answer your original question, about how you could become a good nurse. I read some of the other posts...

  4. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Shanna. In my current position, I have taken over the positions of two full-time people from last year. The district had to pay for it, so they hired one person to replace two. Both...

  5. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    NurseKelli, Thanks for your response. I wish we could afford for me to take the time off and be an at-home mom, but unfortunately, that's beyond possibility. Lots of people post about rotten hours....

  6. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    It is a very scary situation, Reg06. It says a lot about our society, and why other countries look at our society in disgust. The things that are the most important in life, are looked upon with the...

  7. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    El, Thanks for the thoughts. I like the idea of the gratitude journal. In an earlier post, someone asked what exactly I dislike about teaching... I found something in my e-mail that I think is a...

  8. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    First to JenMarie... There are MANY reasons I'm not liking teaching right now. I'm not sure what state you're from but Ohio just re-did the standards and it is even more difficult to get a child...

  9. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    FIRST OF ALL, Thank you ALL for the very honest responses! I am probably going to start out by being a PCT in the local hospital here (as soon as I decide where I'm going to fit that into my...

  10. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    I have another question.... for those who've worked in several different areas... which was your favorite? I think, right now, that I'd like to work in the OB... and a lot of that feeling comes from...

  11. Would you do it all over again?

    KatieD replied to KatieD's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for answering my question. My son, 7 months old, has been in and out of hospitals/doctor's offices (because of his heart) more times than I can count. I always find myself thinking...

  12. Distance Learning?

    KatieD replied to ncangel's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, have been looking into distance learning. I'm not sure what they have for the route you're going... I'm probably going to go the MSN route through OSU. You may want to look into that and see...
