  1. Facial coverings effective?

    If people who had coronavirus would turn neon pink the second they are infected, you might have a point. But people are contagious and shedding the virus when they speak or just breathe (not just cough) for many days before they develop a cough or a...
  2. Odd situation

    This was my first thought, too. It is a strange situation, but I find it even stranger that people are making a point of the nurse's gender. In my mind, though, when I hear "male nurse", I wonder if that person also uses "female doctor" or "black p...
  3. Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

    That would be the case if the credit transferred to other schools. In most of the cases for these students, they have a partial education that is good for exactly nothing. Can you take the NCLEX with 3/4ths of a nursing degree? A better analogy wo...
  4. "Bless Your Heart"

    I think you hit the nail on the head. Many religious people feel the need to announce their particular chosen deity alignment and they think it is a hip way to give people a non-subtle small clue that they are involved in a exclusive club. Some peop...
  5. "Bless Your Heart"

    You are right, but here in the US, did you ever hear a non-Christian say it? To be clear, there is a non-zero statistical chance that every oxygen molecule in the room will spontaneously move to the other side of the room and I'll suffocate, but the ...
  6. About paying off student loans

    My wife is a horse trainer and a lifelong horsewoman. There is just something about them, isn't there? Physically, emotionally, and morally strong. I wish I had known about them earlier in life.
  7. Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

    Maybe because the school agreed to train them and provide a degree? When I go into a restaurant and order a steak, if the chef lets me have two bites and then his lawyer comes and takes it away, I'm not paying the damn check. I ordered a whole stea...
  8. About paying off student loans

    Yeah, except they are now going after the parents of students who die to get out of their student loans. So, grieving parents who just lost someone loved to cancer or a drunk driver now have to come up with 5-6 figures just to be able to move on wit...
  9. About paying off student loans

    The problem with this line of argument is that the cost of providing the education has also skyrocketed. Every school is expected to have the newest computers, test prep programs, simulation labs, cafes, uniforms... I think the rise in cost can be p...
  10. About paying off student loans

    I see it as a matter of planning and integrity. I am a second-career nurse who was still paying student loans from the first degree. I applied for scholarships and grants, but received almost none (about 5% in scholarships). I didn't want any more ...
  11. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    I was trying to keep an open mind until the school board completed their investigation. The reports I read came from sources that would benefit from a slant to the story. But if the Christian Post is saying it, too... well, we might as well start h...
  12. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    Unfortunately, I don't know any school nurses to ask about this occurrence, but I wanted the opinion of fellow nurses. We won't know the full details of what happened until after the investigation. From: Atheist group says nurse refused Carlisle stu...
  13. A Day In the Life of a New Grad

    Hey all. Checking in with an update. I actually got a job! Woah! When they said be flexible and think of jobs you wouldn't really have considered before, they weren't kidding! I'm commuting out of state now to a psych job at a non-profit. Psych i...
  14. A Day In the Life of a New Grad

    I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I have all my paperwork in and will be doing the training in a few days! It is nice to think that I'm actually going to be using my skills. I'm hearing there aren't many hours to be had doing this an...
  15. A Day In the Life of a New Grad

    Hey all. Thanks for the words of encouragement. To anyone who thinks there is some area out there I haven't tried, I can tell you that the volunteer clinics want experience, the health department "desperately" needing nurses for immunizations want e...
