  1. Student Loans and Debt

    BSNbound21 replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is actually! This is not an official

  2. Student Loans and Debt

    BSNbound21 replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Same here. So, to OP, 30 isn't exactly an age where you need to play catch-up. You could use your 30s to invest wisely for retirement/529s instead of putting yourself into debt. Getting a nursing...

  3. Student Loans and Debt

    BSNbound21 replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I plan to apply to the program at the same college where I'm pursuing my BSN- but after working as an RN for a while. Tuition is around $3K per semester so looking at $12K debt for the program plus...

  4. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    BSNbound21 replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    The environment was one where employees were allowed to basically haze new people, and even though this person wasn't my manager, he was a higher position than myself. My point in telling this was...

  5. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    BSNbound21 replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    OP mentioned that the preceptor keeps telling her things she already knows, and in a busy environment, having to stand and listen to something you already know when you have a bunch of other things to...

  6. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    BSNbound21 replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the way to talk to an employee, or anyone. Your preceptor, like many people in authoritative positions, doesn't seem to have a very high level of social intelligence. I would never talk...

  7. Income Based Repayment

    BSNbound21 replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't have experience with it, but from what I understand you repay the loan based on the income you are receiving once you're working- I think it's 10% of your income for a federal loan. I don't...

  8. Leaving federal job for nursing school

    BSNbound21 replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you doing this for professional growth or income? You can eventually make 2-3x what you're making now with continued education in nursing (as an APRN). So, long-term, if you're willing to put in...

  9. $3.85 dollars an hour. I may cry

    BSNbound21 replied to Nickc58's topic in General Nursing

    The way he's paying you as well as the rate that he's paying you is illegal. Quit that job now and report him. $3.85 is not a livable or fair wage for anyone, and this guy sounds like a cheapskate....

  10. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    So what then about IUDs? Are women taking those incorrectly as well? You come off as extremely judgemental, by the way. I hope you aren't working in

  11. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Plenty of women get pregnant while using contraceptives. They are a lot larger than the 1% -rape/incest cases- you're arguing about. In my opinion, 100% of abortions are 0% my business as to the...

  12. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent and well-written response. I honestly don't understand why any woman would support these laws. I have a family member who I'm currently at odds with over this issue. In her view she...

  13. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Medicaid covers a lot of medical care that you probably don't want to pay for as well, care for people who have treated their bodies like dumpsters. My point is that when it comes to taxes, we don't...

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, definitely the

  15. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Look folks, the topic of abortion is divisive. Always. It's one of those areas that we are not all going to agree on, ever. The main issues that divide us the most are: 1) Is abortion "murder"? Some...

  16. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    That user absolutely did not ask anybody to prove that Jesus is okay with abortion. You just took it that way. You miss my point, however, in that when you use religion to back up your argument, it...

  17. Vaccination for clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. We cannot store it. The "absorbed close to 100%" is not a thing. Also, vitamin C is part of a complex pathway that requires multiple other cofactors, so -like...

  18. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Another example of someone using their own personal religion to back their argument -devoid of actual facts- in order to guilt/shame others into agreeing with

  19. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Pro-choice" is the term widely recognized to mean pro-choice to have an abortion. You can consider yourself whatever you'd like, but your language is incorrect. You can't just change the language...

  20. Women's Right to Choose

    BSNbound21 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have lost friends over this issue, and have now written one of my family members off. It's not something I go around talking about, but if someone else is speaking out against my personal rights,...

  21. When Nursing Students Cheat- Part 2

    BSNbound21 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    Also, by witnessing cheating I am obligated to report it per the academic dishonesty policy that I signed. I have not continuously said anything, I said something once. It would only be continuous if...

  22. When Nursing Students Cheat- Part 2

    BSNbound21 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    I haven't told any classmates. I'm not concerned about slander. I witnessed cheating first-hand & reported it. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will do it again if I see these two cheating...

  23. When Nursing Students Cheat- Part 2

    BSNbound21 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    I saw two students cheating on a quiz in my prerequisite class for our school's nursing program. It's a highly competitive program (10% get accepted). I told the professor. Both of these students...

  24. Vaccination for clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    There are so many things wrong with all of this that I could write a short novel. I'll just focus on the one glaring comment "it should be your body, your choice..." It is your choice. Nobody is...

  25. Home Genetic Testing - Should You?

    BSNbound21 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. I think it's hovering on paranoid to worry about DNA being sold for profit. Companies can go around picking up stray hairs if that's what they're interested in. Being on Facebook is...
