    nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    Multicollinearity replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess that they earn more because of supply v. demand. I would guess that fewer people want to go to school for years to scrape teeth all day. Being a dental hygienist may require a tad more...

    Nursing is taking over my life!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Samantha2000's topic in General Nursing

    Sue, While we disagree on one point, I think it is great that we are communicating now. After all, we are both followers of the FSM! So we must get along LOL. As for the glucose, I control my sugar...

    Nursing is taking over my life!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Samantha2000's topic in General Nursing

    Here's an alternative perspective to the one you are using now. You are obviously qualified, or you wouldn't be in the program. You are obviously competant, or you would have been removed from...

    Nursing is taking over my life!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Samantha2000's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously we are both projecting our personal experiences onto the OP. About ten years ago I was in significant psychological pain and tried psych meds. They made me worse off than before I went to...

    Can I have a nurse be my doctor? (vent)

    Multicollinearity replied to mommy2boys's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I went to a clinic, age 22 with these strange 'blisters' all over my body and I didn't feel so well. Young MD had a deer in the headlights look at my scary blisters. He rounded up...

    Samantha, You hang in there. You will be ok. I don't know what will benefit you -- a little love and encouragement :icon_hug: -- exercise --some cognitive behavioral therapy (my personal fav!) -- or a...

    Nursing is taking over my life!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Samantha2000's topic in General Nursing

    I don't doubt that psych meds are necessary and helpful for some. Obviously they can be a lifesaver for some. I just hate it when I see it suggested as the first course of action for situational...

    Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    Multicollinearity replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm just thinking off the top of my head. You attempted to educate the teen visitor. He remained defiant. That's unacceptable. I'd start...

    Disrespecting the cadavers

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

    Although, perhaps exposing these folks to things that make them uncomfortable will eventually condition many to have a better response. Better they make these mistakes now in school and think about it...

    Disrespecting the cadavers

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

    This reminds me of something that might sound unrelated, but in a way it's not. One day my biology instructor mentioned that roughly 1 in 2000 people are born intersexed - that is with ambigous...

    yeah, Spring Break. What will you do with your free time?

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

    Here's my spring break. My house is filthy. I have MANY MANY loads of laundry piled up. I neglected the past two weeks of biology because I had to study for my final exam in my accelerated algebra...

    Rio Salado Community College

    Multicollinearity replied to spudbunny's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just got an email reply to my questions from a Rio Salado advisor. She said that Rio's nursing program has about the same wait-list time as the other Maricopa CC nursing programs. So much for no...

    Patients who "really" are allergic to NSAID's A story

    Multicollinearity replied to GeriatricSunshine's topic in Emergency

    I can only attribute it to ignorance + arrogance = dangerous practice. I'm sure that a nurse who gave an NSAID after being told of the allergy would blanche upon being informed of the existance of...

    Lung Cancer

    Multicollinearity replied to postmortRNhere's topic in General Nursing

    This is so very very sad. I know a woman who was diagnosed with lung cancer, a year after her husband died. She never smoked either. I'm convinced (without evidence) that the stress of losing a spouse...

    D-Day: The Interview?

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

    Bless your heart, you sound just fantastic. I got kicked out when I was 18. I remember hating it when I would tell people, because they assumed I was being a horrible teenager. Not so! I think...

    It sounds like online is good for autodidacts (people with high motivation who self-teach). I consider myself an autodidact. Regarding Excelsior, I don't even want to get into that(high spirited...
