  1. Anyone taken or taking Bio 201 online at Rio Salado??

    GilbertDaddy replied to IwannabeaRNAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm taking BIO156 at Rio right now and while my instructor seems great, between all the books, links, lab kit, etc. It's an aweful lot. I worry more about just covering all the bases than I do about...

  2. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    i think this would probably be the most likely of outcomes. the changes would be subtle. we would hear it costs too much for us to be getting time and a half, etc. so we'd get less overtime and...

  3. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    honestly i wish this was the case. but corruption has been tied to politics for over a century.. i suppose i'm naive if i see that changing if hillary had a voting record like ron paul, i'd trust...

  4. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    almost. where the fear comes in is that the parties/candidates that already benefit the most from being in bed with pharmaceutical companies, are the ones pushing universal healthcare. that's why we...

  5. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Primarily population. As someone earlier said, you have millions that are uninsured and that have been untreated for a very long time. What used to be coughs and sniffles are now hefty and expensive...

  6. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    this bolded quote is incredibly important. as a fulltime single father, i wasn't able to give my kids insurance for several months due to open enrollment schedules at work. because their mom and i...

  7. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    But still, where is she getting this money? The fact is that if we end up paying even HIGHER taxes and STILL suffer the terrible inflation we're suffering as a result of overprinting the dollar,...

  8. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a lot of forward thinking regarding drugs in the UK and Canada. Like I said if we borrow their healthcare model, we can't just borrow one - we need to emulate other items that will help...

  9. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    by the way, to help keep the above post more on topic.. here's a disgusting little article i read this morning: big pharma spends more on advertising than research and development, study finds...

  10. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The other thing to realize when factoring nursing pay and benefits and socialized medicine in countries like the UK and Canada is that the US runs a deficit beyond what most countries could dream of...

  11. What have patients told you that they shouldn't?

    GilbertDaddy replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I imagine it has to be hard at times to just let things roll off. I imagine the actual moment things happen isn't as bad as knowing you have to continue to deal with them until they get...

  12. Relocating

    GilbertDaddy replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    QC is a bit on the outskirts, but I imagine you know that going in. Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's about 25/hr for RN? Also, we're in the midst of a terrible downturn. Over...

  13. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well there has to be some motivating factor for disturbing the status quo. I have to assume that somewhere there's some financial incentive for somebody - be they administrator or executive. If...

  14. Rio Salado Science Lab courses not transferring to other Comm. Colleges?

    GilbertDaddy posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Was reading this and got shocked: https://allnurses.com/forums/f198/online-science-courses-233407.html I just signed up for bio156 and chm130 which both have labs. Has anyone else taken classes at...

  15. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think this won't help the influx of unqualified nurses. It does help folks like me who are a little older and have been through school before and are more aware of the demands required. But I'll be...

  16. Medical Terminology

    GilbertDaddy replied to bonitamiaRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hmm, I'm enrolled in this class and only saw the 1 credit course? Speaking of which, I need to double check to make sure they got my enrollment

  17. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    On the flipside, for the dedicated students, using that year of waiting in line still gives you more than ample time to finish up co-reqs. At least it does for me

  18. How many parents in here?

    GilbertDaddy replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Full time single dad of a 3 and 6 year old here :) Working full time with a 2 hour round trip commute, making dinners, helping with homework, spending quality time, and still trying to still do 12+...

  19. Calling in sick....feeling worst after the call!

    GilbertDaddy replied to TeresaB930's topic in General Nursing

    I've always taken to the belief that nobody wins if I'm at risk of voiding at any given second.. Sometimes if you're questioned, you just need to use a little more colorful descriptions and eventually...

  20. Survey: Would you pay $43,000 to a College to become an RN in 22 months?

    GilbertDaddy replied to parkingmanager's topic in Nevada Nursing

    By the way, just to be fair.. If you completed your pre-reqs at a community college, I believe they transfer and the bill for the RN course goes down to mid 20's? Still a whole hell of a lot to pay...

  21. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    No worries :) Online communication is always so hard because smiley faces still do little to replace the smiles and subtle body language you get in real communication :) Mods = Moderators and/or...

  22. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a few examples by chance? I'm on several boards (the others are non-nursing related) and the fellowship here is astounding next to them. I've felt that for the most part, the community...

  23. PART-TIME, WEEKEND, and HYBRID/Online students.. How was your experience? Where?
