  2. Psych nurses over 60

  3. Psych nurses over 60

    sayitgirl replied to sayitgirl's topic in Psychiatric

  4. Psych nurses over 60

    sayitgirl replied to sayitgirl's topic in Psychiatric

    These responses must be from the over 60 group. You looked too deep into the word "humble". I do not think that anyone just because they are older than another person should feel that they have the...

  8. Is Psych Nursing Easy?

    sayitgirl replied to resilientnurse's topic in Psychiatric

  9. Is Psych Nursing Easy?

    sayitgirl replied to resilientnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    I have read a lot of good posts here from psych nurses, bravo ladies. Psych is no joke, but it is fascinating. Our patients contrary to popular opinion also have medical illnesses both chronic and...

    sayitgirl replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live on the east coast and the hospitals here still have it. I just did my taxes and got back the same amount paid for tutiton. Everyone can not afford to stop and go through the four years in one...

    sayitgirl replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

  17. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    sayitgirl replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    If that is your rate you must be a new nurse with no work experience. That LPN probably has a longer work history. It may also be a per diem rate for her. You would be out of line asking about her...
