    Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    Multicollinearity replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    Just brainstorming here...what about your husband taking one semester off? That would allow him to do more around the house and support you. You'd do it for him, wouldn't you? I would think that his...

    Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    Multicollinearity replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you what I would probably do. Stay right where you are. You are half-way there. It is HARD to get into nursing programs. You are in one. I would adjust my expectations. The 4.0 is not a...

    Nurses don't have a hard job

    Multicollinearity replied to classactkellie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's not just certain elements of the uneducated public that think this way. I told a relative who is a retired practical nurse in Canada - that I'm back in school to become an RN. She is from...

    Is there power in the color white?

    Multicollinearity replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    Timothy, I'm just brainstorming here. What about white shirts/tops/jackets for male nurses? I suppose it could be the same for female nurses too. So white tops and white or colored bottoms. It seems...

    Is there power in the color white?

    Multicollinearity replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I do think white has a powerful effect. But only for women in this society. For men I would think that they would tend to feel like the ice cream man or an orderly from 1950's movies. So white for all...

    Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    Multicollinearity replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. Rn/writer is one of those posters that I intentionally look for because I learn so

    what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    Multicollinearity replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this is one of my pet peeves. I would not call someone "stupid." I wouldn't personally do the high-cost MA route. But I wouldn't call someone who did - such a term. Everyone else's experience is...

    Anyone had a septoplasty?

    Multicollinearity replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    I've had this done. Technically mine was called septoplasty, but I had it done to remove a bone spur that was growing on the floor of the nasal cavity and septum like a great big tree trunk. I guess I...

    Nurses don't have a hard job

    Multicollinearity replied to classactkellie's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I don't think I would say anything to this type of person. Stupid is as stupid does. Why bother? At the most, I might say something like "it is interesting that that is your perception." Then...

    What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    Multicollinearity replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    This happened last week. I did not witness it. An RN case manager I know did witness this. My friend works for an insurance company. She was in the hall looking at a patient's chart when she saw a...

    Multicollinearity replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have this happen now and then. It's always one page of a particular thread. No matter how many times I click on it, I can't get the page. Other pages in other threads pull up fine. Then, a day...

    Multicollinearity replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    He was and is an excellent MD. He was recently out of his internal medicine residency at that time. The NP just had more experience and knowledge. That happens. I had varicella pneumonia

    Is Nursing School Hard?

    Multicollinearity replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What the heck is up with this thread? It seems like I've read so so so many threads here on this board about the horrors of nursing school. You know - everyone ends up on psych meds because it's so...

    Credit Check??

    Multicollinearity replied to dilynn58's topic in General Nursing

    Your past employer will show up on your credit report if you applied for any kind of credit and listed that employer as your employer at the time. Otherwise, it won't show

    Multicollinearity replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I had chicken pox at age 20, the MD didn't know what the spots were or what was wrong with me. He stepped out and brought in an NP. She took one look at me and quickly said "chicken pox." She was...

    Tell me what you think of this

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my instructors, it turns out does not grade her own assignments. She has a deal with another instructor - that other instructor grades her class' assignments. So I noticed a grading error on...

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

    I found it! Here's the scores for the nursing programs in AZ. What I said about NAU was from memory - turns out it was 65% in 2001. UGH year 2000 looks like it was an ugly year too. Who knows....

    It was five years ago. Who knows the reasons. If it was that bad the BON would have shut it down. I think you'd be

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

    NAU is still my plan B. I did see that their NCLEX pass rate one year was about 50%. Yikes. I think that might have been 2001. It wasn't great the other years if I remember right. Now of course that's...

    It's a small world isn't it Cardiac! I don't want to reveal who the instructor is because I genuinely like her. I don't want my griping to get back to her either, the internet is a small world...

    Ethical Death or Not?

    Multicollinearity replied to dinkysam's topic in General Nursing

    Bless your heart. You did the right and proper thing. Your fiance doesn't understand. This modern attitude of fighting for life at any cost boggles my mind. I guess it's about ignorance and

    what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    Multicollinearity replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    To me the larger issue is the problem of these for-profit vocational schools that mislead the naive who want to do better in life. Their misrepresentation applies to many other certificate programs,...

    Trying to find more in depth info on Menopause

    Multicollinearity replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

    The .1 mg estradiol patch works best for me. If I don't place it on the fatty part of my hip or rear I get hot flashes. Even so, it runs out for me at 3 days instead of 4 like it's supposed to. Have...

    Surgical menopause at age 26, here. My first hot flashes were so severe I passed out. Then I decided maybe some estrogen would be a good thing. Yes, I have had severe menopause symptoms. Since I found...
