  1. A nurse being an independent contractor is a great idea. I have met nurses who do this, and they make $40 to $50 an hour. They each obtained a business license, registered as a P.C., and purchased malpractice insurance. The costs of this is such o...
  2. Let's get ready to rumble. I am here to bash this so-called profession of ours. I can't wait to hear from all of you, especially the BSN's. I have heard many the BSN say that all nurses should be BSN's, because we would all get more professional r...
  3. "Send my girl down here now"...(Please.....)

    Okay, enough is enough. Stop this, "Oh, how was the patient feeling that day? Is he always like this? Maybe we should break thru the fear barrier and find out what we can do to help!" What a load of crap!!! I'm not paid to be disrespected, abuse...
  4. to staff (scab)

    Wildtimes 88. Good job! Spoken like a true manager/administrator. Nursing solving its problems from within! I'm laughing my butt off right now. Get with the program... almost all professions have either a union or an informal union to meet demand...
  5. virual education

    Yes! I am finishing through Excelsior College! I have yet to take one more exam and go through clinicals. I went through RUE but didn't find their material on the Differences exams helpful. My advice... study hard! The exams aren't a walk in the...
  6. Professional Attire for Nurses

    Olright Kday... And I am saying this jokingly. As a straight male nurse, wearing a gay white nursing cap on my head would be a little much. I did work at a place requiring an all white uniform. they let males wear white jeans, a white scrub top, a...
  7. Seriousely,do you even use algebraic equations ?

    As previously stated, you use basic algebra, actually, more like pre-algebra to perform drug calculations. You do not really use anything more advanced like graphing parabolas, using slope formula, and other ridiculous stuff like that. Algebra taug...
  8. WORKING WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL

    First of all, student loans, student loans, student loans. Paying out of pocket is way too much responsibility to attend a nursing school whose programs are almost always full time. If you earn $38,000 a year and have to pay $100 a month in student...
  9. Apology to Suzy K.

    I am an LPN but still a professional. Suzy, I owe you an apology. I believe that you were honestly and innocently wondering why people choose to be an LPN as opposed to being an RN. Out of respect for you, I will answer this question. I went to ...
  10. Dream Job

    I would love to be an FNP in a level one or two ER working with a diverse patient population making $70,000 to $80,000/yr. Although this sounds obtainable, in AZ, I have yet to see an ER hire an NP instead of a PA and have yet to meet an NP that mak...
  11. To all you NP's...

    Chris: How would you know if not being an RN first hindered your ability any? You have never really been a seasoned RN. RN's do the treatments and give the meds that the docs order, and therefore see firsthand what works and what does not. This i...
  12. All Nurses Read This

    1.LPN 2. 4 3. Southwest 4. No 5. Benefits are substandard 6. Like the hours - only 3 12 hour shifts a week are great! 7. My supervisors are morons. 8. No - about as far as I can throw an elephant. 9. My institution has an excellent nursing education...
  13. The Big Money Question

    First of all, the question is hypothetical. If I were an RN, I would want $50,000 a year, as many "professionals" are paid that sum and then some. 9 to 10 % wage increases maxing out at $75,000 a year seems reasonable.
  14. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    "Whew! It took all that for you to answer!" Condescending tone again I think!!! Are you people blind? Can you not read? Susy K. was and is being rude, and continues to perpetuate the negative responses she received.
  15. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    I am not trying to add fuel to a fire here but would honestly like to know-where can an LPN push any IV meds? Not in our scope of practice the last time I checked.I can certainly start IV's-hang certain solutions and piggies.But run a code? If you me...
