dont worry I requested to be taken off this site, thank you!

I will earn it. thank you! :)

Lousy nurses as in the way they portray themselves, and have nothing better to do than tear someone apart! Sorry I did not specify for you. I understand the concept of you are saying, thank you!

Actually where I live we can make about $28 an hour. I was generally asking for others input of what kind of jobs they do, and their hours. And thank you for your incredibly straight to the point comment, you must be one of the ICU nurses that is completely rude to a family thats family member is dying, and they want them to live, and as a nurse you probably just come out with that its a 5 second google search to see why they are dying. Maybe if you read the post that I just wrote that you replied to, I said that there are ACUTE hospital jobs, that are one weekend a month. Use your critical nursing thinking skills and read!

Okay... after all the negative comments that were rude, demeaning and pretty much low.. Let me explain slightly.. I have worked in the acute setting as a tech for two years. I may not be a nurse at the present moment, but I have done my fair share of nights, and weekends. I do not need to pay any dues. I clearly know what entails being in nursing! I am sorry that all you nurses have nothing better to do with your life than tear people down. I simply asked a question of what people do. I wrote, if you people can read, which I would assume so because you made it through nursing school, that I do not mind working one weekend a month. And I prefer to not work holidays, but understand that it will take place. I appreciate the few that stuck up for me! Thank you! You guys actually saw my point. And furthermore, there are hospitals in my area as I researched into more detail (that are in the acute care setting) that are one weekend a month, that new grads get hired, because I have friends that do it! Soooo.. to all the negative people out there, I am sorry that your lives are not what you want and that you have to pay your dues as you say. I will be receiving my RN degree... There are many jobs out there for RN's that are not only in the acute setting. Maybe some of you did not know that. So in closing this, thank you for all your input, it made me that much more willing to prove you all wrong in a year! :) and I will continue working my dues as a tech, wiping poop, vomit, drawing blood, and doing what I do best! Smile and know that I am making something better of myself, and knowing that I have the respect to people, patients, and life and general. One more thing... just like how most of you couldn't show nothing but rudeness to me, shows me how lousy you are probably as nurses. Inconsiderate, rude, and not understanding. If you can tear someone apart on a thread, instead of just answering a question, you need to look at your own heart, and see what kind of person you are. For nurses, online bullying in one of the lowest things you people in the medical field should do.. Thank you so much for your time! :)

Hi everyone, I will be graduating nursing school next year, and I am trying to figure out what I want to do. I was wondering what kind of positions there are out there that I do not have to work every other weekend, and a holiday. I am a huge family person, and being with my family at night and holidays is very important to me! I do not want to make a lousy salary as well. I do not care about working one weekend a month, but the every other is something I am not interested in. What kind of jobs do you guys have and the hours? Is the pay okay as well. Thank you!!
