   QuietRiot replied to Dominique1006's topic in Illinois

   I had a 3.8GPA, a 110 on the Accuplacer (I believe they only require a 75) and only one outstanding prerequisite at the time of application. However, I turned down my seat and decided to prepare for medical school instead. Good Luck!!!

2. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

   I don't think there is a myth that PA's can do more, if anything there's a myth that PA's are inferior to NP'S...Which seems to be perpetuated by some arrogant nurses.

   The only prereq I have to complete is English 2. I am actually happy I was selected for the Spring and not Fall, as this will give me time to put some things in perspective.

6. Question from a doc on NP education

   QuietRiot replied to clamchow's topic in NP

   It needs to be a standard across the board. Online schools with flimsy clinical requirements should not be tolerated.

10. Another reason unions suck!

    QuietRiot replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Union

    Fair? Is what you pay to ride a bus. I don't expect fairness from profit-driven corporations and seeking such is why a lot of nurses are in the position that they're in. Furthermore, I've never worked a job because I needed to, so I don't fear being...

    You don't need a union to negotiate, bargain or to ask for what you want. He may not get it, or he just may :) either the way, you don't know until you ask.

12. Confronted about charting at patient's school

    QuietRiot replied to doodlebuttRN's topic in Private Duty

    Why is the school assuming that you are writing about things other than nursing? Something just doesn't seem right. Were they recently sued,lol ?

    QuietRiot replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Union

    It's your career, your life and the decisions you make should be about YOU. Nursing is a business! Hospitals, nursing homes, etc will always look out for their best interests and you should look out for yours as well. Some people will say it's unfair...
