This is what I can tell from reading most of your "advice":

- Not very many of you have been taught grammar as children. If you cannot write a simple sentence properly, don't expect to get the best pay.

- Don't get your nursing diploma or become a practical nurse. GO for the gold standard and actually get your nursing degree. You will be worth the knowledge that you bring to the health care team.

- Nursing in the USA really sounds like it sucks. Your health benefits are atrocious and your pay is terrible. Nobody on this site seems to like how they're treated. Try working in Canada; leave your whining at the border.

Don't do this at work!
Registered Nurse (RN) - (City withheld for privacy), Ontario, Canada
I had made some incidental errors giving meds and was said to be too laid back, but the big no-no that lost me the best position I had ever had was coming on to a co-worker. That person reported me and then the bottom fell out of my world.

I may still have to face disciplinary action from the professional college which might result in a suspended or discontinued licence.
