  1. Patient Sitter - Is 15 $ an hour good?

    Consdering you do as much as the old guy who stands at the front of the walmart, that's a good wage.
  2. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    You made a big mistake careerwise HD
  3. I could not stand to be hungry all day either! I do the (relatively) normal exercise/healthy diet routine right now. Maybe one day they'll be saying that extra mass is bad!
  4. I was talking about these diets IN GENERAL as they are touted (not some snickers bar diet)
  5. I have heard that they increase lifespan. Even if this is true, at what cost? Your thoughts appreciated.
  6. PA School

    Well believe it. Some people want to help others without getting arm deep in bodily fluids. My cousin is like that and going for radiologist. I know him and don't think of myself as any better than him for not minding the dirty work.
  7. All you guys saying no... what what you rather have been instead? Most other professions are also having problems nowadays (law, medicine, engineering, IT, any social science and high level teaching job, etc)
  8. Does EVERY LIFE really count??

    I think this is an area where the idealism of nursing theory seperates from real world practice. Healthcare is a business just like any other and has limited resources. In the real world sometimes you just have to "let the bad apples rot" to protect ...
  9. Need advice for a friend

    I will never understand how these religious types draw conclusions. Explain to these people that medical opinions are not wild speculation pulled out of the air and that they should listen to them instead of just assuming that some divine interventio...
  10. am i making a mistake going agency???

    I've read elsewhere on this board that a nice alternative to agencies is to contact hospitals for agency type work and represent yourself, eliminating the middleman (agency). It has the many benefits: 1. You can ask for a higher hourly rate and still...
  11. RN and CRNA

    Regardless I still think you should seperate your work from your hobbies. Find out how much income you want and work that many hours as a CRNA. Then spend whatever extra time you like doing some charity work (that utilizes your RN skills if you like)...
  12. RN and CRNA

    Indeed it does sound crazy. The practice of anesthesia is the most valuable skill a CRNA has, so spending any significant amount of time doing lesser paid work like regular staff RN duties doesn't make sense financially. You might as well work part t...
  13. Maric is like Devry college, it is not a real college. (Its just a vocational school) The units you take there won't be transferable and you're paying about $30,000 a year in tuition when you could get it much cheaper elsewhere. I'd go to a legitimat...
  14. Does lack of motivation means no no to nursing?

    Ok first of all please don't call me a girl anymore because I'd be the ugliest girl you every saw! Second I don't have kids but some a friend of mine does. I've seen her try to study with her kid around, and she just couldn't do it with the baby in t...
  15. Does lack of motivation means no no to nursing?

    I disagree with the people who disagreed with me. Don't forget your priorities here: you have only one shot at doing well on your finals which could ultimately determine your fate in nursing. However, you have many chances to answer to the whims of a...
