  1. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    I have been a nurse for almost five years. I’ve been in every job possible; nursing homes with 22 patients and paper charting, rehab facilities with 24 patients on EMR on a tiny laptop dragging that stupid 500 lb med cart everywhere, not having al...
  2. I have not worked as a nurse since graduation.

    I know where I live, if you’re an RN, you “cannot work beneath your license!” I know the original poster of this thread is NOT an RN but because she is an equivalent of an LPN, she’s may not be able to get a job like what you’re suggesting unless sh...

  4. I have not worked as a nurse since graduation.

    Well kudos to you Michelle! I DO have a positive attitude. I put in the work to find what works for me. I’m not a quitter. I don’t want her to quit after all she’s worked for. The original poster of this thread said that she worked for a minute and ...

  9. I have not worked as a nurse since graduation.

    You should try getting into primary care (outpatient doctors office). Look on Indeed for these jobs) Forget nursing homes! You won’t be able to handle 24 patients and that huge Med cart. (Read my most recent post). You will then work days and may...

  12. Scared.....No Nursing?

    I feel your pain. Four and a half years ago I got my RN. I worked my tail off in nursing homes and rehab facilities. I was told the same thing. You're too slow, no time management, incompetent, don't know how to do an assessment! the following is...
  13. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    I became a nurse due to a tragedy and I regret it. I will say it ... nursing sucks. Not everyone is cut out to be a floor nurse. Seasoned nurses make you feel inadequate, units are cliquey, managers run you ragged and working nights is the pits i...

  15. Best Advice for a Nursing Student

    I would say run as fast as you can and dont look back. My experience in nursing has been horrible. I say instead of going for the big guns and getting an RN or LPN degree - start with something small like a CMA or RMA. These types of jobs are duri...
