    Continuing ed for a nurse that doesn't like nursing?

    So I'm new grad RN in an ICU working on my bachelor's. I *love* my job, but I think I might not have a passion for nursing. The idea of being a med-surg nurse is so outside of my realm of thought. I think it's the care model vs medical model I dislike. I love collaborating with physicians for...

    Previous posting about "mid-levels" - needs to be said

    I'm posting this only because the thread was closed before I could respond. I am frankly appalled at the lack of respect shown on this website for health care professionals that are not physicians.

    Does the nursing/doctor turf war ever subside?

    Stupid topic to post on here and far too many pre meds proving my point. The gist of this originally was stating how nursing professors/programs encourage the turf war/impose the insecurity onto nursing students for no good reason. I'm aware doctors are far more educated than nurses. I'm a BSN...

    Nursing vs. the life-consuming medical lifestyle

    I am currently a nursing student in my first semester. Nursing is so boring and I can't stand the lack of science in the curriculum. I guess I didn't understand that in nursing school I wouldn't be learning anything NEAR what people learn in medical school besides vital signs and such. Maybe due...

    Do you have any alternatives if you don't get accepted to med school?
