   underwatergirl replied to johny1's topic in Men

   Hey JSJ, Good luck to you with nursing school. To answer your question about dating a male nurse. Most likely no, first and foremost...I most likely on some level work with them, whether totally or on a phone call...etc I don't mix dating and work. O...

   underwatergirl replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I enjoyed your response, very thought out and great of you to be that way with new nurses. Now here is a thought to consider....this is kind of how I see it, I have met a few nurses who were braniacs....Aced every test, can ramble things off to you ...

   underwatergirl replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   WOW there are alot of judgemental generalizations being made on this thread. I don't think it is fair to alot of LPN's....Before you cast judgement always think....If you were an LPN, then you understand the education and schooling that is done and h...

7. Wearing scrubs in public...

   underwatergirl replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   You crack me up....outstanding point!!! If the public wants us not to wear our scrubs then get the hospitals or the places we work pay for ones for us and give us lockers to change...or just shut up and mind your own buisness.... I didn't wanna shake...

    underwatergirl replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    Marie_LPN, I found what you were talking about and I am absolutely disgusted. Now I understand more the lack of respect at nurses for all levels...LPN, ADN, BSN...they are not advocating nursing...they are dividing us and making LPN's look like inco...

14. Should BSNs be paid more?

    underwatergirl replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

15. Should BSNs be paid more?

    underwatergirl replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't state that one nurse was better than the other...I think by offering higher pay to BSN's is classifying them as better than ADN's. Honestly, I am refering to ONLY NEW GRADS...not nurses that have a experience for one, or nurses that were at...
