1. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

   teiladay replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government

   It's important to keep in mind that while the Department of Defense does not as a rule pay for spouses to go on deployment, it is not uncommon for spouses to relocate themselves to deployment locales on their own dime, which the military has no contr...

2. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

   teiladay replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I think this is the kind of response the OP was trying to avoid. There are many things that people don't like doing (in many occupations), but will do it in school because they know they won't have to do it in the particular job they want in the fir...

   teiladay replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

   Wendy's considers their workers "professional" too. I'm not arguing that point, or speaking in that context. The fact of the matter is that (and I used this word intentionally in my previous post) the traditional use (not the dict. use) of the word ...

   teiladay replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

   You are 100% correct, and it just doesn't affect medical schools either. It affects most math/science based degrees. The reason is because community colleges generally do not offer the same rigor in the math/science courses as many (not all) nation...

   teiladay replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

   You're kidding right? What are you talking about? Many PA's actually take a Pre-med d-e-g-r-e-e program as their undergraduate degree so they knock two birds out with one stone. 1. The PA student has easily met the education pre reqs for PA school...

   "J.D., LLM, SSD = professional degrees".... whoops! I meant to put SJD (law doctorate) not SSD. Sorry.

   1. Do not be mislead. The "minimum" requirement to take the NCLEX (2 year or 4year institution) absolutely does not include General Chemistry at many institutions, and never has. 2. The biology that many people took on the path to becoming a nurse...

   teiladay replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

   ... The cold reality however, is that for most nurses (or most people for that matter) to even come close to completing the requisite science courses, they will pretty much complete a science based degree program just in trying to meet the prerequisi...

9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

   teiladay replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

   ... Not today, but if you were a frequent (or even infrequent) flyer in the 60's and 70's you'd recall nearly 100% of flight attendants looked like that at many (every?) airlines, back when airlines had weight standards strictly enforced. Reminded m...

10. Why In The Heck Should I Be A Loyal Nurse?

    teiladay replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

    Don't be fooled. "bean counters" are very skilled at what they do, and becoming an actuary (passing all the associated exams) is something a relative few people on the planet can do.The bottom line isn't complex and I'll be direct:1. Will replacing ...

11. Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    teiladay replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    The debt from people who went "4 years straight" will generally have debt in the same ballpark whether they took their classes online or not at the same, or a similarly ranked institution. Many private online curriculums (e.g. UOP) are typically mor...

12. ACCEPTED!!!!!!

    teiladay replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    I think preference is given in Indiana for those with ties to the region. TEAS not required for many (most?) bachelor and master degree (those who start their RN training on a graduate level who already have finished an unrelated undergrad degree) p...

13. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    teiladay replied to Juryizout's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% with you should be able to do what is legal for in your private time. If you want to model nude on your off days and run a porn site, I couldn't care less if I was an institution's administrator.If you wanted to delve into politics and ...

14. Just a reminder to watch what you say!

    teiladay replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    What honestly amazes me is that today, in the year 2011, after scores of stories have surfaced about people being fired for what they've said on social sites, etc.. that many of you still mindlessly either put things about work on the web, or use you...

15. Getting overpaid. Should I tell payroll?

    teiladay replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with the employer on this one. Paychecks are usually finite instruments, meaning you have a certain amount of time (typically very reasonable) to cash/deposit the check. But for what ever reason you didn't cash it, nor bring the "lost" check to...
