1. Would you assist in abortions?

   Mr_D replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't participate in the Republican/Democrat style of divisive and corrosive politics, so I ain't telling. Keeping in mind that the Republicrats use abortion, etc., as a strategy to whip their supporters into an emotional frenzy to get re-elected,...

8. Why get an MSN?

   Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in New Nurse

   I lose more replies on this new system -- I'll try again for the third time. I am quite conflicted about this. If I want to go for an MSN, then I better do it immediately following my BSN. However, I plot it on a calandar, geez, I'll be in school t...

9. Why get an MSN?

   Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for your response. What do you mean by a "generic MSN"? Also -- I am 39 now, will complete my BSN by 41. If I go for a MSN, I would finish around age 43. Do older nurses have a more difficult time finding work? IYO, what age does that becom...

    What are the career advantages of getting an MSN? Does it automatically equate to more money or flexability or training (than an BSN)? Does anyone regret not getting one while their life was set up for school? Thx, Mr_D

    I'm seriously considering going for my MSN immediately after completing my BSN, basically b/c my life is set up for school and would be a good time to do it. In terms of career flexibility and earning power, is one better off going the clinical route...

    Mr_D replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    It's almost comical how many were having second thoughts at the altar! 8 years later and I'm still wondering. Had I to do over again -- Thinking in terms of the "right" decision or "wrong" choice creates a helluva lot anxiety! I had enough smart...

15. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    Mr_D replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    I actually thought about a business that offered "bad credit services" so that one's credit report was more/less guaranteed useless!! When YOU needed credit, you'd log via the internet and "correct" your credit record, then "maul" it again a few day...
