    How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    Multicollinearity replied to Idaho Murse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree. I have called this aspect of nursing education "high-nursiness fru-fru." Ok, I'm slinking out of the men's forum

    Almost finished and want to quit

    Multicollinearity replied to misplaced1's topic in General Nursing

    Don't quit now. Regardless of what you choose to do in the future, it'd be stupid to quit with only 3 months to go. You may find another niche in nursing besides hospital work. Maybe you'll end up...

    Weight gain in Nursing School

    I do Jillian Michaels workout DVDs six days a week right at home. That woman is one mean task-master, and I like it. :pumpiron: Her two latest DVDs (each one is almost an hour) are more strenuous...

    Health Care benefits.....and frustration

    Multicollinearity replied to ksrose1's topic in General Nursing

    ksrose, Is the hospital requiring payment of $540 up front before the procedure, or are you just anticipating receiving the bill and worrying about how to pay it

    Health Care benefits.....and frustration

    Multicollinearity replied to ksrose1's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'd just get the colonoscopy done and deal with your $540 deductible/copay expense later. Your health is much more important than worrying about a medical bill. As I say this, I am a...

    In your Opinion...

    Multicollinearity replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think (not positive) AZ law mandates ICU ratios of two patients per nurse. No other ratios are mandated in AZ, though. Am I correct about the ICU ratio

    Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Multicollinearity replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is such excellent advice. When the hospitals in my area went on hiring freezes and stopped hiring new grads, I really *wigged* out. I got so upset for a few weeks. Ok, so I was almost sick...

    Dealing with Violent Children

    Multicollinearity replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Steph, I confess I wouldn't have directly intervened in that situation. I'd be physically afraid of those adults egging the kids on. But I do know I would have called 911 from my cell phone to...

    Dealing with Violent Children

    Multicollinearity replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking some of you live in states where CPS actually does something. Or maybe this is what we like to tell ourselves. BTDT. In my state CPS does not do anything unless there are broken bones or...

    Dealing with Violent Children

    Multicollinearity replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts: You aren't their nurse. You aren't responsible for any interventions - it isn't your place. If you must, to settle your mind, contact CPS, one time and make a report. Something tells...

    New grad jobs: When to apply?

    Multicollinearity replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I was under the impression that we should be applying in the first month of our last semester - not sooner and not later. I'm curious what others have to

    Cultural and Ethinic Considerations in Nursing

    Multicollinearity replied to txwildflower57's topic in General Nursing

    I don't entirely disagree with you. However, I do think we should have some knowledge and sensitivity for those of non-majority cultures. Also, when you said those in the United States should...

    Fending for yourself in clinical normal?

    Multicollinearity replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Students

    Clinical tends to be what you make of it. I suggest tagging along with friendly nurses and volunteering to do everything you are permitted to do. I have a great clinical instructor right now, but she...

    Nursing School vs. Reality

    Multicollinearity replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've heard, nursing school just gives you a basic foundation and prepares you to learn what real nursing is, in your first year on the job. I've heard you learn more in the first year on...

    Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Multicollinearity replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the economy has gone to crap that quickly in some areas. When I started nursing school over a year ago, new grads were getting sign on bonuses and pick of specialty. Hospitals actively wooed us....
