  1. 38 too old for school?

    Not in my opinion. But I think a more important question is (& I know your kids are supportive) is that they only have 5 more years until they are out to college. That is such a short time and the memories are precious. I would wait 5 yrs. FWIW I...
  2. nursing a calling?

    AMEN! But in that same view, I believe to be caring and compassionate you have to LIKE being a nurse because after 12-16 hrs and people yelling, upset, gripey, etc it is a prerequisite. This does not mean, however, being a martyr. I do think we are ...
  3. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    Was it wrong to berate the OP? Yes. Is it Hipaa? No. Is the facility rule superfluous in this case? FWIW I think so, but it's the rule now. If she had walked down to verify her id, it would have been the same. On a slightly different take: My point...
  4. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    We should have more privileges, but I do agree the problem is with the facilities rule and not the OP/lab tech and they should NOT be given a hard time over the FACILITIES rule. I have read the HIPAA (most people spell it HIPPA-shows they aren't real...
  5. Need some advice

    Hey thanks everyone for keeping this a nice discussion and everyone just sticking to opinions. I just wanna raise kidlets myself but I know I am in the minority these days.
  6. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    Isn't the time (as someone stated above) you get to yourself when you are at your job and at school? I'm not trying to demean, just asking a question. See my post in "some advice needed" thread. I just agree to disagree as I have seen the marginalizi...
  7. Need some advice

    It's not all about what *you* (as an adult person with choices) want. I'll agree to disagree. It's about the kids. What if you only saw your husband just on the weekend or he says okay I'm taking up a hobby/work/football/ etc, I'll spend less time, t...
  8. How did you find out about allnurses?

    When first starting out, a student told me about the site. PS It's nice to have a *vent* ilator.(It's allnurses).
  9. Need some advice

    Just some advice, wait till your kids are older. They need you and nursing school is hard. They are only young once and not fair on the kids.
  10. Md's Against Crna's?

    I think we need to do a little publicity ourselves as a profession [regarding the AMA ad thanking the doctor]. I see the same thing in practice. I do all the work, etc. and when the doctor comes in the patient is falling all over themselves and I bar...
  11. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    It is hard as I see. Don't think it is fair to the kids, though. The kidlets are only young once. Most people in school spend time studying and if they aren't they are thinking about school=less kiddo time.
  12. What is nursing school like?

    HAHAHAHAH--Unfortunately so true in my case (about the weight). Ditto: the study group compassionate friends resources understand at times even your best friends will get on your nerves as you will all be tired, stressed, etc. DO THE TRIAD: read the...
  13. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Agghh. I had another degree as I found a lot of my classmates did also. I agree with most all the posts highlighting the liability, awesome responsibility, very physical work (not kidding), general lack of support in most jobs by mgmnt, co-workers, p...
  14. ICU - Should I stay or go?

    So sorry about your situation. Sounds like you have great goals and are a very intelligent and thoughtful person. If I was planning on leaving, I would express everything you have expressed here to both HR and the department mgr in writing for my fil...

    Looks like the article was written in 2003. Maybe a (new) test has been approved?
