  3. Travel Nurses - Share your stories

    RN/WI replied to Joe V's topic in Travel

    I finally found my niche in nursing! I have done many areas in nursing as a permanent staff nurse. 2 years ago I completed my first travel nursing assignment. After a long extension I decided to take...

  4. Alone, Lost, and Afraid

    RN/WI replied to Born2Care4All's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Since you were LD, I would assume you are lost in what you are doing. If you liked that area of nursing resign and get back into that area. Definitely not worth the stress on you or your patients if...

  5. Conflicted New Grad RN Supervisor

    RN/WI replied to Kadams0808's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We were told the same 10 years ago. I left the hospital after being a nurse intern to graduate Rn to take a position like you are in. I was there 4 years before they restructured the facility and cut...

  6. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Yes But the government programs are hard to get in. I applied one year, completed all the paperwork and didn't get in. Also, you can't work as a traveler or staffing agency if applying for those....

  7. 2016 Salary thread

    RN/WI replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    Is anyone else here in the public health field of nursing? I am not a new nurse, but this is my first rodeo in this field. Wondering what other regions are paying public health nurses. It's a totally...

  8. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't pay off $60,000 on an RN wage in2 years and I'm pretty frugile. I have to be I'm a nurse. If the irs didn't tax the heck out of your wage, you lived at home with parents, had no house or...

  9. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, thanks. California was a lengthy license process to get. They went through every class fingerprints and background with a fine tooth comb. I believe I waited 11 weeks to obtain that licenseí

  10. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Did I understand this right? For the associate degree Rn program, Pre req courses expire? What are the pre req s nowadays? Aren't they credited college courses anymore that stay on record?

  11. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    You don't even have the associate degree completed yet? An associate degree is far cheaper than a BSN program, so you clearly can't coach the poster. I don't know where you live but for what the BSN...

  12. 2016 Salary thread

    RN/WI replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    1. WI. 2. Public health. 3. COL is high compared to this wage in a BSN required field. Went from no debt as an ADN RN to student loans for my BSN. I was making double the $22.73 I'm at now 8 years...

  13. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I have 3 credits left for my msn. What degree did you start with to only come out with9k? A simple adn Rn program costs that much. Please share for the initial posters benefit as well as the...

  14. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    This is normal debt for a bsn unfortunately. This proves why bsn prepared rns need a wage increase and differential from adn prepared nurses. I too was first an adn RN without debt until my bsn...

  15. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Are you working in an RN position in the ED? Could you share with us your position and how many hours you are working at each ED to "make well over 300 grand per year". I'm assuming SF is San...

  16. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    RN/WI replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    No more pay for a bsn which seems absurd. I haven't found any loan forgiveness either. I have found nursing pay has gone down over the last 10 years. Must be too many nurses instead of the predicted...

  17. Agency Nurses Have No Rights?

    RN/WI replied to AGaston's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you have rights as a professional with a license. Unfortunately you are the one that has to speak up and change the environment. More than likely the unit has issues. Any licensed...

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

    RN/WI replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm in the same position you are in. I just left travel nursing to take another permanent position. I've been in this field for 10 years. I went back for my bsn a few years ago only to rack up some...
