    amber_energy_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    amber_energy_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to take the leap to RN, might as well go all the way to NP...those girls (and guys) DO make money...into the 6 figures (and I know this for a

  10. I must be doing it wrong- 7 months and counting

    amber_energy_RN replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is the most depressing thread I have read. It's amazing how many nurses complain about the ever - increasing workload and demands placed on them, but no one wants to hire newbies because we are...

  13. Instructor won't allow us to use our own calculator for math test?

    amber_energy_RN replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

  15. Did I get the job?

    amber_energy_RN replied to mbazan17's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    From what I have heard and seen, waiting (sometimes for weeks at a time) is the norm. But that's really weird that they gave you the benefits package before official notice. I have NEVER heard of that...

    amber_energy_RN replied to amber_energy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    amber_energy_RN replied to amber_energy_RN's topic in General Nursing

  18. Any STLCC students?

    amber_energy_RN replied to STLmomma27's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Forest Park. People say it's the "easiest" school out of the three (based on the amount of work and personality of the teachers). Flo Valley is the hardest. I heard they "weed" out the most...

    amber_energy_RN replied to STLmomma27's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from STLCC in December. Wonderful program. Passed NCLEX and great teachers. However, word of caution: EVERYONE has kids and work schedules - they do NOT work around this. And this is...
