  1. New RN looking to quit floor nursing?!

    Redhead,RN replied to NewGradStruggles's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ...and no, you don't have to make yourself miserable for a year. That's crap advice. You only get one life to live. I only worked 4 months in a hell hole and said goodbye and have not had any problems...

  2. New RN looking to quit floor nursing?!

    Redhead,RN replied to NewGradStruggles's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ya, floor nursing truly sucks. I got out and never looked back! There are so many other things you can do with your degree. Don't waste your time being

  3. Getting Hired as a new grad

  4. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    Redhead,RN replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you borrow, you should come out of school making. Nursing isn't a $100k/yr job unless you have been doing it a while, are ICU, NP, CRNA, agency, or a lot of overtime. Do they not tell students...

  5. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    Redhead,RN replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do people even look at what they will earn and weigh it against what they pay for the education? $200k in student debt is for MDs and lawyers, not nurses (although CRNAs are up there, so I don't blame...

  6. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    Redhead,RN replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, perhaps you could read my comment again. I was referring to undergrad only and the outrageous debt people are accumulating for it. I went to a private school, I know it can be expensive. But not...

  7. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    Redhead,RN replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If this is even around next year, perhaps they should structure it so private loans are not included so as to discourage irresponsible borrowing. I mean, 250% + d/i ratio. These debt amounts are...

  8. Brand new nurse already OVERWHELMED and panicking

    Redhead,RN replied to brandnewRN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How did you survive nursing

  9. I literally hate my job

    Redhead,RN replied to basenjilove808's topic in First Year After Licensure

    True. And nursing school makes it seem wonderful too. Nursing sucks for the most part. It's a thankless job BUT those rare moments when you actually make a difference make it worth

  10. Confuse

    Redhead,RN replied to Unsurewhatiwant's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And many nurses end up hating working in the hospital. It's so glamorized on tv and hyped up in nursing school that in the real world, it ends up being a let down. Just give it a few more months to...

  11. How to handle unprofessional coworkers

    Redhead,RN replied to Imanurse05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would absolutely mention it to the DON, and if she asks, name names. Call those women out for creating a hostile work environment. They are obviously miserable and have tried to spread their...

  13. If you left floor nursing...

    Redhead,RN replied to shonniemichelle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I left after less than a year and have never looked back. Best decision of my life because bedside nursing just sucks... I have been a school nurse, clinic nurse and now a Nurse Case Manager, and have...

  14. New Graduate Blues

    Redhead,RN replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Aim for being an average nurse -- that's aiming pretty high for a new grad. Don't beat yourself up because you're not superlative. Superlatively good is unattainable for a new grad and superlatively...

  15. New Graduate Blues

    Redhead,RN replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with Green Tea. The nursing role is glorified in school and on tv, but bedside nursing really does suck most of the time. It's very hard and you will always be underappreciated. With that...

  16. NG Feels Taken Advantage of in Clinic. Wants to be School Nurse

    Redhead,RN replied to SnowDark38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Be careful what you wish for...school nursing isn't all rainbows and unicorns, especially inner city schools. I know from experience. I worked early childhood in the suburbs part time but wanted to...

  17. New Grad Leaving Nursing!

    Redhead,RN replied to harumi22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hospital nursing is just terrible for some of us! I did it for 4 months then got out. Nothing is worth living in misery, nothing. But I didn't get out of nursing. I have went on to be a school nurse,...

  19. Planning to quit

    Redhead,RN replied to rainyflowers's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely give notice, but don't stay anywhere you are miserable. I quit my first hospital job at 4 months and never looked back! I've since gotten other hospital jobs (hated them all) and realized...

  21. Not loving nursing....yet.

    Redhead,RN replied to MrsJt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ya, hospital nursing really does suck. That's why I got out. There are a lot of other nursing jobs out there. I was a school nurse for a couple of years and loved it. Don't settle for misery. You only...

  22. Flagged FBI Report

    Redhead,RN replied to Cami28's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You're screwed. Pick a professional not quite as upstanding. Just saying. If you legitimately are flagged by the FBI, there's more to what you're telling

  23. New nurse seeking encouragement

    Redhead,RN replied to NCRN2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Welcome to nursing! Hospital nurses can be brutal. One of the reasons I got out of it. Life is too short to deal with unhappy witches on a daily

  24. General Surgical Unit or Telemetry Unit?

    Redhead,RN replied to jt47382's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also started on a cardiac Tele floor. Great general experience without the boredom of med/surg. Despite popular belief, you do not always need to start on med/surg. If anything (and I've worked...
