    Kitty Hawk replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'm not trying to answer myself, really I'm not! But the previous was more of a rant and I see I'm more conflicted than I admit to myself! so that's something I need to figure out. Anyway, point...

    Want to get out of nursing, what can I do with my degree????

    Kitty Hawk replied to pale_pilsen's topic in Nursing Career

    Some are going to anwer the usual year or two. YMMV, for me I had under 1.5 years between LTC and ortho. If you have a previous career background that may make a difference. That's what did it for me....
