    beekee replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    You graduated last year, you have a criminal background and you have an ADN in California (I'm not from there, but I hear the market is tough for new grads). While none of these are indicative of how...

  2. Cost vs benefit of BSN at middle age

    beekee replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    I am a second career nurse. I finished my ADN in my mid-40s. I have never had any desire to go into management. Heck, I don't even want a cushy desk job. I'm totally fine with med-surg bedside work....

  4. High School Student Trying to get into a Direct Entry Nursing School

    beekee replied to wondur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Define "not the greatest." Nursing schools tend to be extremely competitive. Therefore, without very good grades, your options may be limited. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend focusing on direct entry...

  5. Anyone Knowledgeable Here About Medicare/Insurance?

    beekee replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    You need to pull back. This is not your problem to solve. I highly recommend removing yourself from this case. This woman appears to be a master manipulator. You need to keep the professional...

  6. Dr makes me feel so incompetent?

    beekee replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    As a new nurse, I eventually learned that some doctors try to intimidate nurses so that they don't get bothered with calls. If you have a concern, call. Maybe run it by another more seasoned nurse...

    beekee replied to danij040866's topic in Nursing Career

    And, don't punch out and work for free. If you make $30/hr and work 4 days a week. You are giving them $360 to $480 per week. Assuming 50 weeks a year, that's $18,000 to $24,000 per year worth of...

    beekee replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    beekee replied to Julesss28's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  15. Leaving Nursing

    beekee replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your workplace is toxic. First, nursing is 24/7. We run out of time. The next nurse is expected to it. Heck, we even miss things and, thankfully, the next nurse notices. We are not...

    beekee replied to nursedebbieg's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I found a charity in my area that performs footcare for the homeless. I'm excited to get some experience with that organization to see how I like it. I will try that before I throw down the cash for...

  17. Foot Care Nursing Business

    beekee replied to nursedebbieg's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I've recently become intrigue by the idea of a foot care business. I've just started taking some CEs on foot care. I have never seen myself as the entrepreneurial type, so I'm not sure on the...

  18. Quitting Small Residency for Bigger, Better Residency

    beekee replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Because it does not appear you realize this, if you tell your manager that you are leaving for a bigger, better residency, your employment will end then. If you tell your manager you are quitting...

    beekee replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm allergic to make-up, do I don't wear any. Ever. I can't seem to remember to get my hair cut, so it's in a ponytail every day. I'm fat. Technically, I'm obese. You know how much of that matters in...

  22. RN (ADN) to wanting BSN in holistic nutrition instead of nursing?

    beekee replied to Holistic_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    A BS in holistic nutrition might be interesting, but it'll do pretty much nothing to advance your nursing career. I'm not saying don't do it, but if you do do it, it will be primarily if not...

  23. HELP!!!! Resume NEW GRAD

    beekee replied to Lilym27's topic in Nursing Career
