    "YOU'RE my Nurse?!?!?"

    Multicollinearity replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely would not wear scubs with cute designs or even patterns. You are less likely to be taken seriously if you do. If you work in peds though - cutesy dress is an advantage in

    "YOU'RE my Nurse?!?!?"

    Multicollinearity replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot control your age, but you can influence others perceptions sometimes. What I mean by this is you may want to take a look at your appearance and demeanor (not saying you are doing anything...

    One was imprisoned in Florida, the other two, I cannot remember which of the states they committed their crimes in. Somewhere in the south. I didn't mean to derail the thread talking about my...

    Yes, we can't communicate online like we would in person. I think it was the words referring to her "lifestyle" that set me off. Forget about it, it's

    Lost Job because of background!!

    Multicollinearity replied to SeanyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know why this thread hit a nerve with me. I have 3 cousins who have spent time in prison. All were using cocaine or other drugs (non-violent offenses). They spent years in prison and have now...

    Lost Job because of background!!

    Multicollinearity replied to SeanyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a bit uncomfortable with the OP being addressed like this. I'm not sure why, because I'm such a goody-two-shoes. I've never even had a speeding ticket, let alone any other sort of trouble with the...

    Diabetes, an epidemic?

    Multicollinearity replied to indigo girl's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I came across an interesting health news story today: Depression Drugs May Cause Diabetes http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,199181,00.html We all know that antipsychotics can cause diabetes....

    Stevie, I didn't say that someone is meek or delicate if they don't swear. I don't swear! I don't consider myself meek or delicate at all. That's not what I was saying. I was saying that if someone is...

    $$ for nursing school

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

    Most student loans like Stafford and Federal Direct loans are not tied to any income levels. You can borrow $6500 your first year and $7500 your second year. It's only Perkins loans and a few others...

    Leaving the Profession!

    Multicollinearity replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent advice! Of course I think so because I'm a fellow generation Xer. Do a good job, but never sacrifice yourself for your employer. Your employer wouldn't sacrifice themselves for

    Multicollinearity replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, you said you have been a nurse 20-plus years and are returning after a bit of an absense. You said you are looking for a mentor like you had once. You don't need a mentor; how about acting...

    Multicollinearity replied to Missa's topic in General Nursing

    You are singing my song! Lately I've been feeling like a little old lady; I have to remind myself that I'm only 32. I'm just so disgusted by all the raunchy socialization that seems to have become the...

    RN to MD

    Multicollinearity replied to tatty's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard that a BSN applicant would be perceived as wasting a seat in medical school. What I have heard is that the BSN degree doesn't demonstrate enough challenging biology classes for med...

    RN to MD

    Multicollinearity replied to tatty's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have heard, graduate schools leave open the remote possibility of admission without an undergraduate degree for extremely unusual circumstances. For example, I heard a dean of an MBA...

    Do NP's work under MD's?

    Multicollinearity replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't mean to stereotype and make irresponsible generalizations such as MD=ego trip, NP=perfection. That's not what I meant. I've seen great MD's and I saw an incompetant snot of an NP once. That...

    Do NP's work under MD's?

    Multicollinearity replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm one of these people. My primary healthcare provider is a NP. I choose her rather than an MD (I had seen MD's all my life) because she listens to me, focuses on prevention, and doesn't have a...

    What to do while waitlisted

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

    That's what I planned on doing - working on the BSN courses while waitlisted for the ADN program. Here's my concern though: colleges (for the BSN) will only accept 62-65 credits from community...

    Ugh. I have my exam tomorrow on the Axial skeleton. I get a box with 40 bones it in, and I have to identify the bones and list their landmarks. Ugh. This may bust my 96% in the class. p.s. cat worms...

    My point was that it's not just "God fearing" people who can be offended by vulgar language. That's all. Also, the work place is not the place for
