FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AN ADN , HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOSPICE? DIFFERENT TYPE OF NURSING BUT VERY REWARDING, ABLE TO USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF DISEASE PROCESS, NURSING SKILLS, AND NOT ONLY PROVIDING CARE TO THE PATIENT BUT THE FAMILY AS WELL.MONEY ISN’T BAD EITHER.

Having been injured on the job and not compensated for that injury, not able to work since, I am disgusted with my lack of salary. I worked neurosurgical nursing and although it was not listed, or I did not see it listed, I am just sick of all the money I could have earned these past 21 years…! My life in pain is not worth any amount of money. Whatever job you have, if you do not have enough physical assistance….DO NOT loose your health. I had to move a very obese patient after she broke the bed, the hoyer lift, and only three of us were there to prevent her aspirating b/c her husband sat the bed in upright position. The bed would not move up or down. It was a nightmare that I live with every day. Please, keep yourself safe. you are no good to anyone when you end up living like I do and no income. If I had not moved her, I would have been sued. so I was in a loose loose situation….I worked on MSN but did not complete because I can no longer sit in classroom for the length of time a class lasts. BELIEVE ME, LOOK OUT FOR YOU…LIKE THE AIRLINES SAY….GET YOUR OXYGEN MASKS ON FIRST THEN HELP THE OTHERS….B/C YOU ARE NO GOOD BROKEN OR DEAD.

With the extremely high demand for nurses, especially those with experience….how come there is such limited financial assistance offered to a 2 year RN that wants very much to raise her level of education in the field, but does not have the money. Student loans are not an option, and I dont qualify for any financial aid that could really help me complete furthering me formally raising my education level.

You left out Surgical Services Nurses (OR/PACU). With all the required call and overtime, we make more than Ortho or Peds staff.

If I was a younger nurse when specility certification only required your nursing license and and your hours of experience I would get certified but in my area of intensive care to get a CCRN u get no monetary incentives just the tittle so I would only do it for myself but with all my years of experience it doesn’t change anything except a tittle to add on plus I have to pay the $ to test out of it.
