   TheLastTime replied to alexodeh's topic in Men

   Math? Seriously? You don't use Calculus here. You don't use Trigonometry. You don't even use Algebra. If you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide, you're fine. Science, courage, heart, brains, sure. Sense of humor is also quite helpful. Pfft. Wh...

4. Upcoming Nurse Practitioner Guideline HELP!!

   TheLastTime replied to Dman2012's topic in Florida

   This is actually not new news. This is the direction the NP genre is going. You will be much more competitive with the DNP. As tempting as it may be to go the cheap route with the Master's, the tide is turning towards the Doctorate.

5. Pregnancy and job offers as a new grad

   TheLastTime replied to d2k2ross's topic in General Nursing

   The bigger picture is ethics. Considering that this person is choosing to not disclose an event that will cause them to be absent for months - or possibly permanently if the new mom decides on the stay-at-home track after the child is born - I would ...

6. Pay for new grad

   TheLastTime replied to MollzBSN's topic in Florida

   $21.85 sounds like Orlando Health's starting pay. Florida Hospital offers slightly above $22 for a freshly minted nurse...really not enough difference to be concerned about. Take the offer. If you really need more pay you can work nights and get a he...

13. Proposition for a Nursing Revolt

    TheLastTime replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    One sponsor is a Republican, the other is a Democrat. Good to see we'll get a bipartisan screwing if this passes.

14. how hard is the math in nursing programs? how about the HESI exam?

    TheLastTime replied to codyiscool's topic in General Students

    There is nothing beyond simple Algebra that is needed. If you can convert units and solve an equation such as 10x = 95 for the variable x, then you can do all of the math required for nursing.

15. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    TheLastTime replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Hunt

    I don't see a problem with this if lifting is a repeated daily requirement of the job. This puts a literal spin on the phrase "carrying their weight". From my experience I do find a need to lift 50+ lbs during my shift. Granted it may be only once or...
