Can anyone help me with a little guidance in this nursing field.

Mother of 3 who is ready to start a nursing career. Ever since having my kids in the hospital and seeing what these nurses do, I have been amazed and so eager to start a nursing career. My passion is to specialize in Labor & Delivery. Really don't know where to begin. Have heard [...]

I am 43 years old with two children, one of which is an 8 year old girl with juvenile diabetes, who I need to be available for.

I really want to be a nurse but I know the program is very difficult. Should I wait until the children are older. I only need to take two more pre-reqs before I can apply for the [...]

Hi There,

I am a 22 year old new nurse of 7 months. I graduated in December 2009. I work on a surgical floor and love it. It has its ups and downs and I am obviously still new so I get overwhelmed and still feel like I don\'t know anything, but I\'m starting to feel a little more comfortable. However, I want to go back [...]

I am just starting school (in the fall) and concerned with the job market. Anyone know if AZ RN's (2yr) are finding jobs? I plan on achieving a BSN someday. I'm 46 and feeling like I have started this way too late. Thanks to everyone who responds.

Seasoned with Sage

"Such a waste!"

Those were painful words to hear from a colleague after she learned that I was using my nursing degree in a new way.

For the past year, I've been working in Nursing Informatics at the hospital where I am employed.  It embraces where nursing is headed in the 21st century.

I'm excited about the direction of my career-even if it isn't where I slated it [...]

Rookie Wit & Wisdom

I am an RN studying to be a Physician Assistant. I have been training in the medical model for PA school after my nursing school education. I’ve essentially sat in on the training of both MDs and RNs and can tell you stereotypes are ingrained on both sides.

Doctors are groomed to expect to have nurses “bugging” them for orders, calling them with useless and non-important [...]

Your Personal Growth

Many of you may be celebrating National Nurses Week, 2008 for the first time as professional Registered Nurses. You have entered nursing at a time when there is a great deal to be proud of.

Several thousand hospitals have achieved “Magnet” recognition, and while these are not perfect places to work in, they are easing the transition for new nurses. The magnet standards have improved working [...]

Rookie Wit & Wisdom

After a couple of years of very hard pre-reqs (where I got all A's) I was so excited last month to finally start nursing school! So far, though, it has been nothing but complete and utter frustration. No, not because the work is hard, but because my teachers and the whole program just seem to be so unorganized and disconnected!

For example, my teacher has never [...]

Provocative Topics
The path to recovery for nurse addicts.

Addiction: it’s a moral issue, right? Whoever starts abusing a drug is a bad person, making a bad choice, and should be punished. At the very least, they should be able to quit on the spot.

But it’s not that simple. According to Dr. Linda Barile, APRN, and advocate for nurses who are addicts, we need to stop blaming them and instead support them through recovery.

Managing Your Career
How a new nurse can build a resume.

The way you start your career as a new nurse is important—but often overlooked. With so much to learn, we tend to focus mostly on the job – we’re so worried that we’re going to hurt a patient. It takes a while before we discover that we’re never going to know everything. So as you start your new job, think about launching your career. Here’s [...]
