Success is never having to stress out over money. No one worth knowing is impressed with a big house. My hubby had to work in LA or NYC. We both grew up in NY and stayed there for careers. When retired, our property taxes were over $1,200/ month...
After you do some excrutiating difficult C sections involving the death of the mother or a baby, you kind of appreciate boring. If you love the adrenaline, find someplace with super rapid turnover. It is exhausting but never boring. Or a trauma cen...
The state our teaching programs has deteriorated to the detriment out ability to practice independently. Too many students without instruction...I couldn't agree more about this. IMHO, the schools are becoming derelict and complicit in making their...

Well, Aries blames the "tyranny of the employer" as a reason. I don't knownif that is the most important reason. Tyranny is as valid as any other reason:)

So what? Half of the people in the US couldn't discern how dangerous Trump was because they didn't have to research skills to figure out who they were voting for. We should pay any heed to people who don't know about science because they have non ...

Haha. I agree totally with your points above and get you wanting PS5. I have had a few autistic kids in court and I can see that it is a great source of pleasure in their life and they are GOOD at it! Everyone is forgiven for some trash diversions...

Wait! It's okay to use financial coercion on folks with student debt, but it's wrong to coerce nurses in hospitals to take a vaccine or lose their jobs. The situations are equivocal. And I still don't get it why you say you have $200,000 in debt b...

Your are missing the trees.....again. Smoking tobacco or weed (which I dread having becoming legal in my state) are not Contagious. You can't compare them to a virus. And if lockdowns are so ineffective, why do countries repeatedly resort to them...

Let me get this straight: The scenario is a 50 year old person at risk of MI or stroke and you are admitted to the hospital. Clear so far? Do you have Covid or do you not have Covid when you are admitted? Why are you even in the hospital? Are you...
I've taken those boards;) I don't know what younger CNRA's think but us old timers argue against multiple sponsors for boards would b a slide downhill. Today's students have a different mindset today and don't want to work independently when my gen...
Agreed. Advent's passing rates for the board exams is well below the average. Wolford us another program with a history of low pass rates and I can't find they are regionally accredited which has been an old issue with them. Florida has made such ...
Peds, maternity, public health and what is all not adult med surg. This may be an awful idea. Im just trying to think out of the box how to get more nurses out working without big debts. I guess we can never return to the old Columbia and Cornell ...
I'm wondering if these two CRNAs were in the program owned by MD's which I was stunned to find even existed. Such a conflict of interests against the students I couldn't believe that education model was allowed to exist. Students did sue the progra...
Jedmore: I completely agree with two board exams and elevating LPN to ADN programs. However, I also think about the ADN program become an RN program for medsurg only so that graduates could work on the floors while getting their courses in the spec...
I just read in my alumni magazine that only 15% of DNP programs have any clinical content. So if they can't produce advanced PRACTICE nurses, what are they good for? If you can become an NP online, we have lost control if our own profession and an ...
I don't advise young people to get a BSN because it will make them a better nurse. It's the best way to get more job opportunities. But I am in the BSN for entry crowd with the caveat that there are cost effective alternatives for students. And th...
I'm sorry you went to a lousy program. However, a college education is about the liberal arts. If you think sociology and statistics are irrelevant to nursing (or to a college degree) there's not much anyone can say here. A closed mind doesn't do ...
So bitter. If you find nursing so demeaning, just do something else. If this is the vitriol you bring to work every day, you must be tortured. Unless you work for yourself, there are always compromises to complete autonomy.
