Is it something about being Asian and having to be a nurse? Whenever you go to a crash course school, you always see Asian people going to nursing school.
Do it!!
Actually even though I think Stench is a Tshirt fan........Nursing is a good career. People will always be sick, so that job will be in demand.
Get a man job.
Having 11 years of healthcare experience, I can tell you that it will take some patience on your part to find the job you want. There are tons of nursing jobs, but not all of them are desirable. You will probably be stuck with a crap shift/job in the beginning but the experience is necessary to go where you want to go...which would be working for a doctors office or a clinic of some kind where you can get bankers hours. MD's offices/clinics usually have better perks than straight hospital shift work too.
Do what you have to do at the beginning and keep your ears open for good jobs, because they close just as quickly as they open.
I'm just kidding. I'm sure there are lots of male RNs.
Without them, hospital rooms would be hideously decorated.
Oh...and give psych a try. I've been in it for two years now and I wish I would have started here. If you can get in with a state hospital it's damn good retirement benefits too.
OK, I LOL'd at this....
Hospital shift work is not necessarily the entry point to every nursing job. Within the hospital itself, there is a hierarchy of seniority that usually applies so it just depends what field you are interested. There are entry level jobs available in all settings including clinics, dr's offices, home health care, community health, school nursing, etc. BUT also be aware that with the economic climate of the country those jobs are dwindling and more often than not, the people you come in contact with in those areas are NOT RN's.
Nursing is a great field because there is so much diversity, there is a niche for everyone.
It's not...but it's usually the first destination for new nurses if you want to get a job quickly. In my experience there are very few MD's that are going to take a nurse fresh off the truck...and if they do there is some sort of good old boy connection that got them the job. Home health and agency are other places where jobs can be had pretty quickly, mostly because they both have their drawbacks.
gynecological nursing should be Phillip's favorite IMHO.
Hmm as an RN I've worked MD's offices and hospitals. I think what I'm taking issue with is your statement "There are tons of nursing jobs, but not all of them are desirable. You will probably be stuck with a crap shift/job in the beginning but the experience is necessary to go where you want to go...which would be working for a doctors office or a clinic of some kind where you can get bankers hours. MD's offices/clinics usually have better perks than straight hospital shift work too." I think this is true if you are looking at nurses as most people do, which is that any woman wearing scrubs is a nurse or any man in a hospital is a doctor. But if you are making the case for Registered Nurses, most of your statement is false, I believe. If you are referring to LVNs, LPNs or aides then you are spot on. The "crap shift jobs" (although I wouldn't call 3- 12hr shifts per week "crap") are some the best paying jobs in Registered Nursing , with the exception Home Health Care which is like real estate--you'll make as much money as you work. The RNs with "bankers hours" are in highly specialized roles either clinically or administratively, and those require education/degrees well beyond the 3 or 4 year nursing degree and Registered Nurse license.
So I still say, if someone is interested in a career as a Registered Nurse, go for it. There's a place for everyone in nursing, because it is such a diverse field.
Don't let your friend find . . .
. . . DAMMIT!!
get on the waiting list for nursing school now. It is about 1.5-2 years long. Once you get on the waiting list, find out what classes you can take to get a jump (your basics). Be very careful with this though, your basics for nursing school aren't the same as your basics for regular school.
Some regular RN's work in physicians offices and have nice hours.The RNs with "bankers hours" are in highly specialized roles either clinically or administratively, and those require education/degrees well beyond the 3 or 4 year nursing degree and Registered Nurse license.
just go to med school in grenada
Go for it.
