    Am I too old to start?

    2BS Nurse replied to chelzw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definitely not too old... my study group was all 40's and 50's! Just keep in mind that you will not have the nice 8-5 hours that you most likely have now. You'll also be working weekends and...

    Autonomous Jobs out there?

    2BS Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for suggestions for a more autonomous RN position. I absolutely love my patients but find that my whiny co-workers are draining the life out of me. I have no choice but to sit next to...

    Autonomous Jobs out there?

    2BS Nurse replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'd enjoy home care/home infusion, but I'm afraid of being assaulted. School nurses are typically part time in my neck of the woods. Has anyone out there worked for an insurance

    Ambulatory Care Nurse Certification?

    2BS Nurse replied to ART_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Definitely just common sense questions on this exam. If you passed the NCLEX you will pass the ANCC exam. Don't pay for an expensive review course. I did "Ambulatory Care Nursing review questions"...

    Ambulatory Care Nursing Certification

    2BS Nurse replied to katrn1234's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I took the test last year. Honestly, I felt it was really easy. If you've taken the NCLEX fairly recently (via computer), you will be used to this type of testing. I read the "core curriculum for...

    CPN vs. Board Certification

    2BS Nurse replied to kr0909's topic in Pediatric

    WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    2BS Nurse replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What we really need is for our seasoned RNs to be used as mentors/teachers at the end of their careers. I've learned way more by observing experienced nurses than I've learned in any classroom....

    Does anyone here like nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Urgent Care and really like my job. I have friends who work on units that I would hate. We all have different personalities, likes, dislikes, etc. Some nurses love Peds, some hate Peds....

    WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    2BS Nurse replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I hold a Bachelor's in science and an ADN. I feel as if completing the BSN would be all online and easy for me. The problem is, I can't picture myself in a different nursing career. Managing a...

    PTO Problems

    2BS Nurse replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    We are required to request vacation a year in advance. Then we are put on a waiting list. This is forcing nurses to call in sick when they need a day

    Burned Out & Bummed Out - Can't find my nursing "niche"

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I work in urgent care and like my job 90% of the time. I think we sometimes tend to dwell on the negative things that happen to us and as nurses we take responsibility for situations that are out of...

    Urgent Care Clinic

    2BS Nurse replied to finallyRN7's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work as a RN in an Urgent Care clinic. I really like the unpredictability and not knowing who's going to walk through the door. Not having to prep for patients in the morning is a bonus too. One...
