    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    For some people, online education is the ONLY way they can achieve their dreams.

    Are shy and quiet people not allowed to be nurses?

    I would suggest you PROVE HER WRONG! I was quiet and shy too and I have been a nurse for nearly 6 years. I hate when people crush the dreams of others. Don't let her do that to you!!!

    Specializing as a fresh nurse?

    I heard the same thing 6 years ago when I graduated. Some of my classmates specialized right away. I chose to start in MS because I didn't feel I was ready to specialize. It also allowed me the opportunity to become a travel nurse...which is where...

    bariatric nursing a good job?

    I have worked on a bariatric floor. The surgeon was EXCELLENT with his patients AND his nurses. We got a lot of extra training to be able to provide adequate care for these patients. I don't think it is fair to "stereotype" these patients. I have bee...

    I love it ALL

    I will have to kindly disagree with you here. I am a Registered Nurse Specialist for a prison in Florida. Some days I have an easy job....but most...it's crazy (pardon the pun). I am relied on a lot and I am a female dealing with male inmates. It isn...

    Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    You will be reported. The board will contact you then have you give your version of what happened. Once they have that they will do a thorough investigation and will even contact former employers. Good luck. It's a tough spot to be in

    New student..what should i do?

    By the time I finish my doctorate I still will not have paid $80K! That's nuts! Go the longer route. So you will be in school 2 years longer...but you will have MUCH less debt!!!!

    self mutilating patients

    You cannot figure these people out. I work in a prison and see this kind of stuff on a daily basis. As a nurse, it is my job to provide the best medical care to them, regardless of their crime or disease. I may not like them or what they've done b...

    Just Thinking About Leaving Nursing...

    Although I have never felt the way you do, I understand what you're saying. I think I was born to be a nurse. I say further your education and maybe get into a management position. I did bedside for 4 years and now I work in a prison. I'm in a BS...

    Should I get my ADN or BSN based on my life goals?

    Employers are starting want to hire more and more BSN's. I would go straight for the BSN. I am working on mine now and WISH that I had gone into a 4 year program from the start.

    DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    Nursing hasn't always been like this though. I graduated in 2005 and had a job 3 months before even graduating.

    DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    Along the same post as above---have you tried prisons or jails? Are there any around you? It isn't a glorius job all the time but it IS experience and income. Good luck!

    Back Pain.....Taking my life away

    My chiropractor charges $25 per visit if you pay cash. That's less than what my copay is. He is amazing and really works wonders for me! I've never injured myself but go routinely just for good measure. Good luck...hope you feel better very soon!

    About covering letter & Resumee!

    There is an overwhelming amount of information on this if you just Google it. By the way, it is spelled resume (résumé) and cover letter. Good luck!

    Need help finding Nursing Ethical Dilemma articles

    I'm in a BSN program and spend roughly 10-15 hours researching articles for EACH assignment. Use your school's library and other resources on the internet. I work too hard to share :) Good luck!

    Seems a bit excessive to me....

    That happened here in Florida with an LPN and now DOC nursing staff (I am an RN) cannot get ANY overtime. We are short handed and they are paying more for agency nurses than they would pay for their staff to work overtime. One nurse ruined it for a...

    I hate being a nurse

    Don't give up. Get your Masters and get out of the "back breaking" aspect of nursing. You don't want to regret getting out of nursing...there are bigger better things out there for ya!
