    You know, whenever I see that Johnson & Johnson, syrupy sweet nursing commerical "I dare to care, dare to care!" I want to gag. Yes, you need to be kind and compassionate. But you don't hear "I...

    are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse?

    Multicollinearity replied to misouritraveller's topic in General Nursing

    Just an observation, from my life, not this thread. In the past whenever I have heard this idea of nursing being a 'calling' it has always been stated by a woman. Always women, not a man. Disclosure,...

    Application Q "Do you work?"

    Multicollinearity replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that some people can work full-time and do nursing school full-time, still, I maintain they are the exception not the rule. I read a report/study issued by the California Board of Nursing,...

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I live in Arizona, but not the Phoenix area. I am currently doing my pre-reqs and trying to meet the pre-reqs for about 5 community college RN programs in Arizona, in order to minimize waitlist time....

    Any Moms feel overwhelmed?!!?

    Multicollinearity replied to Sunshine0425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sarah, I don't have children, so I don't have personal experience with that aspect, but bless your heart, you've got a heavy load with all this! You hang in there. I know last week I was up studying...

    are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse?

    Multicollinearity replied to misouritraveller's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree. I think one must be a kind and caring person to be a good nurse, however that does not make it a calling. I know an RN who used to be a social worker, for many years. She actually...

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey Cardiac, thank you for the info! This is getting exhausting for me, keeping up with so many counties ADN programs in AZ LOL! I called an advisor at Pima, and she told me the wait-list is up to 3...

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone! I'm trying to plan and plot my summer class schedule and next fall. I'm considering taking A&P I and Micro at the same time. I've read alot here on the board about how challenging...

    Estimated study time A&P v. Micro

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all so much for the info. I was going to spread them out so I wouldn't double up but I think the need for good instructors (schedule means double up) trumps the need to spread them out. So...

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow! I had no idea. What kind of GPA would you think (best guess) gets accepted? Looking at the placement link I'm thinking my first choice would be Scottsdale accelerated for public non-employee....

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do the accelerated programs tend to have longer wait-list times? And do you know if they have (at least!) a week off in between

    Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

    Multicollinearity replied to jphume's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think some people underestimate the emotional demands of nursing. Just read the thread in the general nursing discussion forum, "Happiest and Saddest Moments." I teared up just reading it. Imagine...

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's really great that the wait-list time is getting better! Also interesting that Nutrition helped you with Pharm. I would have never thought of that. I'm thinking that some people underestimate...

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have an option of taking Nutrition this summer with a FANTASTIC instructor and it would just fit my schedule so well. But I'm probably going to end up at a Maricopa County program. What do you think...

    Maricopa County nursing program questions

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Interesting. Nutrition and Human Development are both required for the program in Tucson, at Pima Community College and another CC in AZ. I think Pima's ADN is up to almost 80 credits. They have a...

    How long is maternity leave in the US?

    Multicollinearity replied to Marra Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and many of those European countries provide high quality day care for children. Add to that, that there is no fee for university tuition (included in taxes) and I have to ask...which countries...

    Nightmares!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to AMARTIN1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think the violent dreams could be reflective of your new life as a nurse? You know, seeing so much blood and things done to bodies taht the general public doesn't see? It is an adjustment. My...

    Diabetic Pet Peeves

    Multicollinearity replied to bjs54321's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Yes, I demanded to see the attending. The attending came in and clued in the resident in front of me, then properly treated me himself. It's not routine for me to call anyone an idiot-I just think a...

    Diabetic Pet Peeves

    Multicollinearity replied to bjs54321's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Isn't it about balance? Once my BS got down to 32, and I had an idiot resident in the ER telling me there was nothing wrong with me and perhaps I should make an appointment with my family doc to...

    nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    Multicollinearity replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is an aspect that is somewhat unique to being a dental hygienist. They have to have their education and expertise PLUS satisfy the patients to the point that they will return. You know,...
