   Is OP even still here, or is s/he trolling us?

4. Men In Nursing Issues

   Corvus replied to adpie28's topic in Men

   I think you need to specify what you are asking... Are you asking whether men *ought* to be in nursing at all?

5. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

   Corvus replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism

   Keep in mind that "socialized" comes in different flavors, with different degree of government involvement. In Canada, the Feds shell out cash to the provinces, set national standards for universality/portability/comprehensiveness, and then back off....

6. MMR vaccination and autism

   Corvus replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately, most anti-vaccine people distrust the CDC and medical journals. The only sources they believe are their own, so they believe what they want to, no matter what the peer-reviewed research shows.

7. Men intimidated by RN salary?

   Corvus replied to ment2be's topic in General Nursing

   The first thing my spouse said when I told him I was going to make more than him: "Woo hoo!" Men who are intimidated by a woman's salary usually have other issues that cause the relationship to fail.

8. Career Changers: What won't/don't you miss about your first career?

   Corvus replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with RedRobin: Won't miss cubicles, nor the mouse on a wheel feeling. Will miss working from home!

9. Any Cyclists out there?

   Corvus replied to mcknis's topic in Stress 101

   I'm less than 2 miles away. Biking to work was a big consideration when my husband and I were shopping for houses! Luckily, my worksite provides uniforms, so I can just wear what's comfortable to work. Paddlelady, what did you do in snow? Did you ch...

10. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism

    Nope, no obvious answers for this one! You really do have to approach it with an open mind, and I'm so glad you're trying.

12. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism

    Please remember that UHC isn't necessarily government-run care. In the US, it likely won't involve the government taking over hospitals. Americans won't stand for that. More likely single-payer insurance plans or even mandating that private insurers ...

13. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Corvus replied to Violinist85's topic in International

    It's OK to mess up university the first time. There are so many people with Honours in HS who just didn't have the study skills and discipline that post-secondary demands. Decide what's best for you, and go for it.

14. Pre-employment drug screen / drug test

    Corvus replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    I got tested after I accepted the job offer. Not sure of the legality of testing an applicant. Might want to talk to a lawyer on that one. Stupid job requirement, IMHO. Why should they care what you do on your time off? As long as it doesn't affect p...

15. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Corvus replied to Violinist85's topic in International

    Violinist, have you considered taking some prerequisites/transfer credits through Athabasca? My GPA wasn't the greatest, either, but I boosted it with "A's" in A & P (from Athabasca/GMC) and med micro (GMC). Not only did I get the GPA I needed, b...
