    Multicollinearity replied to debsuztx's topic in General Nursing

    I am in Arizona. From what I hear, in the Phoenix area, new grads are starting at about $24/hour plus sign on bonuses ranging 3k to

    semester fatigue

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my first semester in school, so I am just learning the routine. We have three weeks left in our semester. I noticed something with my classmates that made me wonder if it's common to just give...

    semester fatigue

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

    Ugh. I feel so weird. Two of my instructors were quite kind when I briefly explained that I won't be there next week, and asked if I could make up the work. (I have to go out of state for teh funeral...

    Colorado Board of Nursing Puts On Line All Nurses Home Addresses

    Multicollinearity replied to Teachingnurrse's topic in General Nursing

    You could rent one of those mail boxes etc type private mail boxes and list it as your home address. Devious yes, but I'm all for my own

    How much do you owe in loans?

    Multicollinearity replied to Butterfly3001's topic in General Nursing

    If all goes as planned, I will graduate with $32,000 in student loans. I do occasionally have a fit about

    nursing students for choice

    Multicollinearity replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your post does not address the purpose of this thread. If you wish to debate abortion itself I wish you'd go start a thread about that. The OP asked for advice regarding starting a nursing student...

    semester fatigue

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

    So odd. Seconds after I posted this thread my mother called with the news. I feel guilty because I feel horrible for the pain my mother is in, but besides that, all I can think of is how I am going...

    semester fatigue

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

    Oh no. Let this be a lesson to all to not get behind. For the first time this semester (normally I'm near perfect with my studies) I am behind in algebra by 2 chapters. The exam for three of these...

    Patient Care Tech duties..replacing Nursing duties?

    Multicollinearity replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    Is she at a VA facility? VA hospitals are not bound by state nurse practice acts, but their own federal regulations. I know someone who purposely chose a specific nursing program because she would do...

    O.K. prove my family wrong! Annual Earnings?

    Multicollinearity replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think providing them with any figures will do much. I understand the common sales/marketing attitudes and ingrained mentality since I was an insurance broker for many years. Let me guess...you...

    Over-prescribing antibiotics at its best! (i can't believe this happened)

    Multicollinearity replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, either extreme is bad. A few years ago I had a sinus infection. The NP I saw wouldn't listen to me, that I knew my condition well and that I could tell when acute sinusitis had 'turned'...

    Over-prescribing antibiotics at its best! (i can't believe this happened)

    Multicollinearity replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Oh how befuddling. I have to admit, while the prescription was unsolicited and inappropriate, part of me thinks "how sweet of the surgeon to notice and be concerned." (If the tone of the surgeon was...

    Does it have to be such a hostile environment?

    Multicollinearity replied to APP's topic in General Nursing

    This is true, most jobs are getting more difficult. I know two RNs who decided to work as pharm reps because they were tired of working in the hospital. They are both back at bedside nursing. They...

    nursing students for choice

    Multicollinearity replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, I'm so politically active that I was surprised that I was of the mindset of 'don't do it' here. I volunteer, make phone calls, I've done marches. Thing is, I just think it is best if we...

    Multicollinearity replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I think it's great that you want to be active - I just don't know about this. I am *quite* pro-choice myself, so the issue itself is not the cause of my hesitation. I tend to think that this...

    Microbiology Hell...what would you do?

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

    I agree about ratemyprofessor.com. So far the ratings have been *quite* accurate for my instructors. I wouldn't trust the rating if it's only one rating. But several ratings...you

    Seeking new grad job in Arizona

    Multicollinearity replied to jayrelic's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I do think Tucson still has a bit of 'small town feel' as strange as that sounds for its size. Housing prices are through the roof though, higher than Phoenix. TMC in Tucson is offering new grad...

    Harder to get hired with a BSN?

    Multicollinearity replied to cjog's topic in General Nursing

    In my corner of the world, the local hospitals are offering sign on bonuses for new grad RNs. The BSN new grad sign on bonus is $4000. The ADN new grad sign on bonus is $3000. Seems to me they want...

    Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Multicollinearity replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the sentiment here really concerns me. Sometimes responsible people cannot manage to pay the bills when things go wrong because they are unable. This makes me think of my grandfather. He was...

    Don't Rough My Newborn Up!!!!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have children, but if I contemplate my feelings they aren't pretty towards a hospital birthing experience. Remember these are my feelings. Meaning I can't really reason with them too much,...

    deposiition

    Multicollinearity replied to toney's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to do depositions before. Not as a nurse, but rather when I was an insurance broker. First, if you have malpractice insurance, have you notified them? Secondly, the hospital (or whoever you...

    Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Multicollinearity replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think sometimes yes, sometimes, no. Sure there are those who charge up credit cards with no intention of paying them off. There are those who are into immediate gratification and spend spend spend...

    Atheist or Agnostic?

    Multicollinearity replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Lorster, OUCH! While I agree with alot of what you say, I do in fact think the Bible has some value. I know all of the Christians on this thread probably just gasped. I value the Bible as I'd value...
