    For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    What an interesting thread this is. I've been touched by many of the posts, so heart-felt. I posted it on a whim when I was feeling...um...severely frugal. I cannot believe I admitted to my...

    Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Multicollinearity replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    Many Asian languages and some African languages have gender neutral personal pronouns. Also Finnish, and Georgian (South Caucasian languages). On another note, here's the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis on...

    Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Multicollinearity replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    "It" is not a gender neutral personal pronoun. This lack of a gender neutral personal pronoun has been a little pet-peeve of mine since high school English

    Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Multicollinearity replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised so many think this is silly and casually discount others thoughts and discomfort with gender and language. Language is very powerful. Let's put a different perspective on this. Let's...

    Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Multicollinearity replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    I wish we had gender neutral personal pronouns in the English language. So yeah, these kinds of things bug me too. Sometimes I wonder how the male nursing students feel when all they hear is "she"...

    How's the job market in YOUR area?

    Multicollinearity replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    Here in AZ, many of our new grads cannot get jobs. One large hospital just canceled employment contracts with some of their students they sponsored tuition for in nursing school. Can you imagine a...

    I know, I know. I hear you. Right now, I'm just after survival. It's just fun to look at rewards down the line. But I do hear you. I'm worried about getting a job as a new grad. Hang in

    Saving Money and Paying of Student Loans or Living as a"poor"student

    Multicollinearity replied to ImNotWitty's topic in General Nursing

    So true. I purchase most of my textbooks through Amazon or half.com. I compare prices and figure out how much I save compared to the campus bookstore. This semester I saved over

    Saving Money and Paying of Student Loans or Living as a"poor"student

    Multicollinearity replied to ImNotWitty's topic in General Nursing

    I've just started selling things on ebay. It's actually quite easy. I'm amazed at what people will buy. I'm selling things like lipstick tubes I got a few years ago and never tried, like in gift...

    Here's my latest money saving deal. I canceled my land line and switched to MagicJack. It's $39 for the first year of phone service over the internet. This includes call waiting, voice mail, caller...

    Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Multicollinearity replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Loner, Life is so short - it's exquisitely beautiful and breathtakingly painful. Why add to any pain and discord? It just seems to me that in such matters, it doesn't really matter who is right, but...

    Stuff for clinicals

    Multicollinearity replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in General Students

    I keep an extra set of scrubs in my car in case something ruins my uniform. It hasn't happened yet, but it seems like a good idea. Otherwise, I travel very light in

    $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    Multicollinearity replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    I think the realities of shifting supply v. demand and lack of revenue in this recession will make this sort of thing more common. The cost of training newbie RNs is so huge. If I were in charge of...

    My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    Multicollinearity replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would refrain from sharing anything personal with this poor girl. Besides it being a boundary issue, she might mention it to someone else, and it could end up in the public court process. There...

    Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Multicollinearity replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Multicollinearity replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Actually, there is substantial research that indicates the religiosity is partly based in genetics and biology. You might want to google "god gene." However, I believe the OP requested this thread be...

    Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Multicollinearity replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Bold emphasis mine. They believe because belief in god is part of the fabric of perceived reality in society, like looking up and believing the sky is there and won't fall on you because you've been...

    Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Multicollinearity replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    There are some implications to nursing when you are an atheist or agnostic. I'd check yourself for defensive behavior or egotistical behavior in conversations about religion. If this doesn't apply...

    I read it years ago and had some laughs. I don't remember much, but I do remember it's definitely not a politically correct read. I remember "gomers" and "going to ground." Just "young enough to...

    Yuma Regional Medical Center?

    Multicollinearity replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've thought about moving to Yuma to work there if the new grad job market is much worse when I graduate in a year. Yuma Regional Medical Center is not bad at all - in fact from what I've seen of the...
