Today, I overheard a group of student nurses at starbucks trying to make a joke out of nursing. They said, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE, TELL THEM TO GO TO NURSING SCHOOL."

After I got my coffee, I thought in today's economy....it true.

Hope it get better for all of us.

Ha! It's true. Tell your worst enemies to go to nursing school if you want to see them crash and burn. After 8 months of searching for a job, I am starting to smolder and the flame is going out. I hope it will be worth it someday, but I can't guarantee it. Good luck to all of us.
