    Can You Detain a Patient Just For Being Manic?

    Multicollinearity replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! This caught my eye since I was a health insurance broker in my 'former life' before going back to school for nursing. You are correct - it is the state legislatures that are to blame. Thing...

    Multicollinearity replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    Outgrowing Friends

    Multicollinearity replied to student01's topic in General Nursing

    I had a few friends like this a few years ago. For example one friend insisted on home births. She went too far, and I heard that she had twins at home, and one died. I think the troublesome part is...

    Multicollinearity replied to veegeern's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse called "stupid cow" in Oscar movie

    Multicollinearity replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of movies and nurses, I did notice how HBO's Angels in America portrayed the nurses in such a positive light. Remember the nurse who examined and took care of one of the characters? She acted...

    Hi there Daniele! It might be helpful to distinguish between what types of nurses, for example RN, LPN etc. I am a student, but newly graduated RNs start in my city at about $3200 per month. It's not...

    Nurse called "stupid cow" in Oscar movie

    Multicollinearity replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    I saw Crash a few months ago, and I vaguely recall the scene mentioned. The woman who said this was bad, correct? I think the character saying this only illustrated what an ugly woman she was. I'm...

    Is it worth locking yourself into Banner for 3 years?

    Multicollinearity replied to MsBruiser's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have no personal knowledge of Banner. I just know that I would move heaven and Earth to pay my own tuition and books. I abhor the idea of being tied to an employer. Indentured Servitude comes to...

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

    I have to agree with Daytonite regarding the CDs w/textbooks. I just got an A in an accelerated algebra class and I relied upon the CD tutorials. The instructor did not speak English. (I'm not...

    Will things get better as I get educated?

    Multicollinearity replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    Well, actually I posted here again with the intent to soften my tone. Then I got even more snippy. This is a pet peeve for me, lack of respect for those without college degrees. *sigh* It's too easy...
