    P.A. vs FNP

    Multicollinearity replied to buffscotty's topic in General Nursing

    With the new DNP requirement on the horizon, it's enough to make a nurse decide to forgo APN status and go PA. I think even with the PA pre-reqs like Organic chem and calculus, it'd still be less...

    Need education advice!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Keep in mind, this college/work load is highly unusual. I take 18 credits per semester, and it maxes me out. I only work maybe 6-8 hours per week at the

    Need education advice!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If this is your first semester, I'd be careful to not load yourself up on too much math and science in the same semester. My first semester of college, I took 12 credits. I also padded those 12...

    Need education advice!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree. I'd take the scholarship. They might even renew your scholarship for your last year of nursing school since nursing goes beyond 4 semesters at the CC level. It's pretty common for...

    HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    Multicollinearity replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone notice how the female urologist was dressed on that one day? She was in her white coat and a dress with her breasts up and out there? So when she's examining her patient's member with her...

    I was slapped by a doctor!

    Multicollinearity replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    The most common reaction to a shocking event is the "freeze" response of being stunned. So I don't think you can really say that you would have done. In any event - that doesn't really help the OP...

    I'm sorry this happened. Why file a complaint at the hospital? Don't you think it's time to call the police and file a

    Nurses: Is your hairstyle a luxury or a necessity?

    Multicollinearity replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Since I'm currently a tight-wad, I haven't had a hair cut in six months. And amazingly, it looks fine. I stopped coloring my hair when I became a student, too. To answer AngieO's question about...

    Are these procedures so bad?

    Multicollinearity replied to shelikesmorningglori's topic in General Nursing

    The drama about lumbar punctures being so bad puzzles me. Everyone seems to think they are horrible. Where did that idea come from? I know it's not just the OP that thinks this - it seems to be a...

    Health insurance during nursing school

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

    No, but I've purchased leads from websites like this before. The personal data is not shared with insurance companies. It is sold to insurance agents and brokers all over the country. This is from...

    Health insurance during nursing school

    If you fill out this quote request, this website is going to sell your information to 3-8 health insurance agents who will call you on the phone repeatedly, hawking their highest commission product....

    Health insurance during nursing school

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

    Each state has their own Blue Cross Blue Shield entity for that state's residents. Some states even have more than one BCBS licensee. So for health insurance - what one person has in one state is...

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the details, Fiona. I do know that after they married, he had a terribly hard time even getting across the Canadian border because the guards thought his Canadian wife was trying to...

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Indigent" is a legal term used for those on public benefits. The "c" word is not a legal term. I don't believe there is a relevant comparison here. You may see a negative manner or context in...

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    2bHappy, I don't understand the objection to this post. It is using correct terminology regarding "indigent." And jlsRN is correct in stating the facts; taxpayers pay for their own healthcare and...

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have enough dollars to pay for healthcare for all who wish to come to the US. Sentimental platitudes don't mesh with cold hard economics. 2bHappy, The legal term is indigent. I doubt that...

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    US policies regarding public benefits and non-citizens are kinda strange to me. Here's an example of what I mean. My father is a US citizen. He recently married a Canadian citizen. They spend six...

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    To me, this is a huge ethical problem. Many working US citizens doing their very best cannot get health coverage, and then we look at this patient who gets "free medical care." It's just too much....

    Just wait until you are in the nursing program. Then it'll happen again and again. More seats will be empty in class as time goes by. All you can do is be happy about your own success, and offer a...

    Moving home with the parents for school- better than debt?

    Multicollinearity replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is really challenging. I wouldn't want to do it while living in a bad home environment unless I had no other choice. If the issues are mild - then it might be worth saving 20k. But...

    What if you forget A&P?

    Multicollinearity replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Students

    It all comes back. Don't worry about it, unless you didn't do well in A&P to begin with. As long as you have a good, basic foundation, you'll be fine. I took my A&P in 2006, and it's been...
