Did you get through nursing school? Just curious. I am getting ready to start as an older person who waited until my kids were grown. Even so I still wont have my husband's emitional support. He doesnt get it but I will still proceed and let chips fa...

Did you become a nurse?

Thanks for the response. Anyone else done this. I know there is but for some reason do not speak up. I know of a few who have. Not easy but anything worthwhile

Have you decided yet? I work in radiology and we have 1 CLS and she us wonderful! She clearly loves her job and she is the best at what she does. She assists us in difficult procedures and smooths the process for the best outcome. She should be clo...

This was a question of a friend. If her husband list his job tomorrow, she would not be able to support them in her current job. She is wondering if thats enough. I told her that your darn right it is. You can always bet on the unexpected and pretend...

She has prepared and took all the pre reqs and was accepted to nursing school for j1 and j2. She has the opportunity to have little to no loans through scholarships, aid and tuition waiver (contract) through work. She will be committed to work at le...

How do you survive the cattiness. I try my best not to gossip but remain positive helpful and pleasant. i am somewhat quiet and introverted which makes me a bore to work with I guess. Regardless, I am dedicated to my patients.

I know. But we dont have a dual enrollment adn bsn as Union Jack spoke of.

I am set to start a BSN program next fall. I currently work as a tech. I am still on the fence for ADN vs BSN because of my age. I am 46. I do not want the loans. I could put that money towards retirement instead. I dont want to do bedside forever bu...

Thats awesome. No we dont offer that here in my area. Wish they did.

Thanks for the reply. Not too many people in my boat.

Thanks for the reply. How long will it take me if I do the BSN online? I will have BSN pre reqs complete.

Does anyone prefer geriatrics over hospital. I'm not a nurse yet but worked in both settings and prefer LTC. I love building a relationship with them and the families. I would much rather work with a dementia patient than someone suffering from alcoh...

I will be an RN and not many understand that I would rather work in LTC. Maybe there will not be as much competition for the job then. Win.win.

Ours is 100 500 900 1300 1700 2100 Which the nurses hate but comes from the dept head

Im attending school also. I returned to healthcare recently after a 16 year hiatus to work in business. I know I want to work in healthcare but not nursing. They are servants and pushed to give more and more. As another poster said on another post I ...

Has anyone dealt with responsible subversion. This is something I am struggling with currently. Some of the subversion is against my ethics and moral code as to how some cut corners and cover for one another and management is blind or simply chooses ...

Do all nurses in hospitals eat in their work area? I dont see how a nurse can or be expected to eat directly across the hall from CDIFF MRSA or anything else. How can one eat in the same place where they set urine specimens and blood samples. Maybe I...

No I truly believe its the place I work Not me.

Thank you. You clearly understand. I can tell by your post that you are a quality nurse. I am switching my major to pursuing my Masters in Social Work.

Crazin01 understands what I mean. There is a judgement call balance constantly and unrealistic expectations set by upper management. Many break the rules and have to to get things done but then some of these nurses may turn in another for doing the e...
