I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in Statistics but I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time. I am planning to go back to community college in order to qualify to take my states boards. I know that with a BSN it will be easier to obtain a supervisory role later on. My question is will I qualify for supervisory roles with a B.S. in Statistics and RN license (I'm not planning on going into a BSN program)?

I landed a great job, but can tell that I'm in over my head - in some cases I'm in over my head quite a bit

The boss knows it and others surely do as well. I feel so embarrassed that my ignorance is exposed like this. I look like a fool when I need to reference things every minute to do my job. It's like hiring a proofreader for a job, and they need to read each chapter of a style and grammar book before making a change!

My bosses knows my weaknesses and they grilled me on whether I can do the job or not. I told them I could and that I'd study all I can. The truth is, they have back-up just in case I fold. I have lots of pressure on me. I need to understand material that it can take years to fully absorb and master

How can I save face (as much as possible), keep my pride and dignity, and feel ok?

Mostly, I'm really, really, REALLY embarrassed about my ignorance & EVERYONE knowing this. I have skills in other areas that my job needs, but the other part is just as important. Help!

Eight years ago I decided to go to nursing school. I always loved anything to do with medicine and I can remember spending alot of my young life reading my brother and sister's biology books because I was so fascinated with anything medical. Well now I'm done with school and havebeen working as a nurse for years. I am so unhappy. The majority of patients are nasty and rude, my boss leaves alot to be desired, the doctors are rude and demanding, the paperwork is tedious, my knees are worn from constant walking on hard floors, I get sick alot from stress and germs...I could go on and on.

I just feel so down about my career ending up this way. I had one of my co-workers ask me why i became a nurse and I actually got defensive. I hated that she said what I needed to be asking myself. I know everyone is stressed at some time or other in their jobs, but I just don't know what to do to be more positve about mine. I know I'm a good nurse, but being like this makes me wonder. any advice??

I've worked only in retail, and am looking for a really well-paying job. Someone suggested waitressing, and so I'm going to try. What are some tips on getting the job, and then actually succeeding at it?

If anyone has any other ideas of good-paying jobs, I'd welcome that as well. THANKS!!!

I am a 48 year old grand mother of four. Iv'e worked at an animal shelter for 1 1/2 years. I got terminated from my job because a co-worker assumed I was looking through her locker because she left it opened and I was the only one in the locker room at that time. She told me that even though she didn't see me go through her things, that by me being the only one in the locker room and was near her locker, thats why she think I went through her things. At the hearing before I got terminated, she mentioned that nothing was taken, only things was out of placed. They fired me with attempt to theft. I was misrepresented by my union due to my co-worker being related to them. My termination were based on hearsay. I believe my disissal was unjustified. I am outraged, and appalled by the whole ordeal. Further, I intend to file more official complaints.
