  1. BSN in another Degree to a Masters in Nursing

    pacifica replied to Silly1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are talking about an RN to MSN program. There are many of these around the country, just try Google. I'm planning to apply to such a program at Washington State University-Vancouver. They offer...

  2. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    pacifica replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think we got the full story from the OP but still I think the response I quoted was really more about getting a chuckle from everyone at the OP's expense, rather than offering any good...

  3. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    pacifica replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Don't even get me started on how much I hate MBNA. They are truly evil. They did the same thing to me and when I called to try to negotiate down my interest rate (after making payments on time for two...

  4. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    pacifica replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the above post is very nice or very helpful. Actually it is downright rude. The OP stated that she chooses to carry balances on low-rate credit cards. Sounds like she has thought it...

  5. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    pacifica replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a third-quarter nursing student. The dumbest thing I've said so far was to a patient who had lost her left arm in a MVA. I went in to do a CBG and I was in full "robot student nurse" mode when I...

  6. Should I start my BSN or wait for RN-MSN?

    pacifica replied to pacifica's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're right, it would be good to get at some experience as an RN prior to applying to an MSN program. However, because I have a BA already, I can start an RN-MSN almost right away when I...

    pacifica replied to diamondqueen's topic in California Nursing

    My husband and I drove from NC to Oregon back in 1996. We took the southern route and stopped a few times to stay with friends along the way. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the drive. I always recommend to...

  9. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    pacifica replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    Cara, you sound like a very special nurse.

    pacifica replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I can't hold back any longer. This thread is frustrating, mainly because the OP has received so many well-written thoughtful replies, yet she continues to be so flippant and condescending. OP, you...

  12. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    pacifica replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    I would just ignore some of the incredibly rude comments that have been posted here. How dare anyone speculate that you'll be divorced within a year when they know nothing about you and the strength...

  13. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    pacifica replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    Thank god, here's a helpful and constructive post from someone who actually works this schedule. I'm surprised to see so many critical posts immediately condemning the OP as "selfish" or claiming her...

  16. Remembrance Day

    pacifica replied to muffie's topic in General Nursing

    okay, I didn't think you meant anything negative by it. Except perhaps that it is a sad day to remember all the veterans who've sacrificed so much to protect us. Thank you Veterans! You are the...

  18. generation gap among nurses

    pacifica replied to angelcharm's topic in General Nursing

    True, but that's a topic for a different thread. The OP brought up assertiveness, which is a good quality to use in the

  19. Oh My....

    pacifica replied to sarahlh's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it is making a mockery of nursing. I see all kinds of skimpy costumes at Halloween, with women dressed as sexy librarians, teachers, firefighters, cops, etc. I understand many people...

    For those of you who despise paying taxes to support "illegals", you might want to take a look at this chart that shows how each of your Federal tax dollars is spent....

    please don't take offense, but i am glad that the people in charge of the transplant list made the decision about who should receive the heart and not you. i hope people make these life-and-death...

  22. Illegal Alien- frustrated!

    pacifica replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    In the United States we do not have an official language and even U.S. citizens sometimes speak languages other than English. So many of the posts in this thread sicken me. Of course people are...

  23. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    pacifica replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :yeahthat: Brilliant posting. Something for those of us on all sides of this issue to think about.

  24. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    pacifica replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen several seasoned nurses on this thread who agree with the OP, so I think it is more than us students, GNs and "wannabes" who are uncomfortable with the tone of some of the "venting"

  25. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    pacifica replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    how do you know who is abusing the system? do you know every detail of your patients' lives, enough to know their history of abuse, neglect, illness, poverty, lack of education and other factors which...
