1. BSN or save for a house?

   AmandaLPNtoRN replied to TXRN44's topic in Career Support

   Not that an education is not an investment but I think that I would steer more towards the house. But that's just my opinion and it's probably not worth much :) I just think that especially since you aren't gonna get any kind of raise. I am definitel...

3. burn out, bullying, new nurse blues, affecting my relationship and mental health

   AmandaLPNtoRN replied to tareija's topic in Stress 101

   It's so sad that new nurses are being done this way. I have been a nurse for 12 years and I have worked many places. They are not all like that. And yes, if you are really that seriously depressed and dreading work then you need to look for a change....

4. Should I report my awful administrator?

   AmandaLPNtoRN replied to maybug's topic in Relations

   If the company does an exit interview that would be a great opportunity to let them know what's going on. You can be completely honest and she cant retaliate. I hate working conditions like that. Hope you find something better.

   AmandaLPNtoRN replied to BotoxBaby's topic in General Nursing

   I will just say that a year of ICU experience looks really really good on a resume, so if you can hang in there......Opens many doors.

9. lpn rn ugh help me sort this out

   AmandaLPNtoRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I found out today that the community college that I'm going to is probably not going to do the LPN to RN program this spring which is when I was hoping to get in. I guess I'll move on to plan B and find another school. They didn't even have my applic...

11. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    AmandaLPNtoRN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion she needs to probably find another job. One with the holiday's off. I have kids and that's what I did. I certainly didn't expect someone with no kids to work all holidays and just because I had kids I would get them off. Enjoy your chri...
