Guest Andrea Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Any RN\'s on the forums? My brother is in nursing school right now. He wants to work in the ER in South FL somewhere where there is a trauma unit. The pay is outstanding down there compared to here. I had entertained the thought of being a nurse as well. I even enrolled in the school. But once I found out that everyone had to do their internship at the local nursing home......... I quickly changed my mind.

huntinsonovagun Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Any RN\'s on the forums? I know the demand for male RN's is high, and I've got so many biology courses completed, I can't see switching out of a Health Science major.

BowJoe Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Any RN\'s on the forums? I work with tons of RN's at the hospital and some of them say that if the boards were not that hard for them that they should have gone on to being a PA. My wife is an LPN, my MIL is an LPN, my SIL is a RN and my BIL is a Dr. I just work Security and I like that just fine. I only get to deal with the meth heads and drunks. No wiping butts for me. Go as far as you can and keep going now so you don't feel like you didn't do what you could have done years down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Any RN\'s on the forums? I have some buddies that went into that career field, be prepared, be very prepared. The courses you will take will be demanding and almost to the point where you might have to miss out on some hunting time. Its tough when they went into their clinical part of it, demanding and they seem to be studying all the time and some said having a job at the same time was almost impossible. Then again they wanted good grades and I respect that. One friend said the math was overwelming, she seemed to forget that math is involved with knowing the right dose's and dealing with conversions and such. I stuck with engineering, it pays the bills nicely and its demanding at times but nowhere near what people in the medical field have to deal with daily, peoples lives are involved so being very knowledgeable is a must! Good luck if you decide to go into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: Any RN\'s on the forums? That wouldnt be a bad choice Ryan. A friend of mine is in the program because of the pay. She already has jobs lined up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
