  1. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

    It's important to keep in mind that while the Department of Defense does not as a rule pay for spouses to go on deployment, it is not uncommon for spouses to relocate themselves to deployment locales on their own dime, which the military has no contr...
  2. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    I think this is the kind of response the OP was trying to avoid. There are many things that people don't like doing (in many occupations), but will do it in school because they know they won't have to do it in the particular job they want in the fir...
  3. Wendy's considers their workers "professional" too. I'm not arguing that point, or speaking in that context. The fact of the matter is that (and I used this word intentionally in my previous post) the traditional use (not the dict. use) of the word ...
  4. You are 100% correct, and it just doesn't affect medical schools either. It affects most math/science based degrees. The reason is because community colleges generally do not offer the same rigor in the math/science courses as many (not all) nation...
  5. You're kidding right? What are you talking about? Many PA's actually take a Pre-med d-e-g-r-e-e program as their undergraduate degree so they knock two birds out with one stone. 1. The PA student has easily met the education pre reqs for PA school...
  6. "J.D., LLM, SSD = professional degrees".... whoops! I meant to put SJD (law doctorate) not SSD. Sorry.
  7. 1. Do not be mislead. The "minimum" requirement to take the NCLEX (2 year or 4year institution) absolutely does not include General Chemistry at many institutions, and never has. 2. The biology that many people took on the path to becoming a nurse...
  8. ... The cold reality however, is that for most nurses (or most people for that matter) to even come close to completing the requisite science courses, they will pretty much complete a science based degree program just in trying to meet the prerequisi...
  9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    ... Not today, but if you were a frequent (or even infrequent) flyer in the 60's and 70's you'd recall nearly 100% of flight attendants looked like that at many (every?) airlines, back when airlines had weight standards strictly enforced. Reminded m...
  10. Why In The Heck Should I Be A Loyal Nurse?

    Don't be fooled. "bean counters" are very skilled at what they do, and becoming an actuary (passing all the associated exams) is something a relative few people on the planet can do.The bottom line isn't complex and I'll be direct:1. Will replacing ...
  11. Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    The debt from people who went "4 years straight" will generally have debt in the same ballpark whether they took their classes online or not at the same, or a similarly ranked institution. Many private online curriculums (e.g. UOP) are typically mor...
  12. ACCEPTED!!!!!!

    I think preference is given in Indiana for those with ties to the region. TEAS not required for many (most?) bachelor and master degree (those who start their RN training on a graduate level who already have finished an unrelated undergrad degree) p...
  13. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    I agree 100% with you should be able to do what is legal for in your private time. If you want to model nude on your off days and run a porn site, I couldn't care less if I was an institution's administrator.If you wanted to delve into politics and ...
  14. Just a reminder to watch what you say!

    What honestly amazes me is that today, in the year 2011, after scores of stories have surfaced about people being fired for what they've said on social sites, etc.. that many of you still mindlessly either put things about work on the web, or use you...
  15. Getting overpaid. Should I tell payroll?

    I'm with the employer on this one. Paychecks are usually finite instruments, meaning you have a certain amount of time (typically very reasonable) to cash/deposit the check. But for what ever reason you didn't cash it, nor bring the "lost" check to...
  16. I hate what's happening to nursing...

    What caught my attention with your comment was that you felt prompted to "tell your daughter to be a veterinarian" instead of a nurse. The two jobs aren't even on the same planet as far as requirements, preparation, entry exams, etc.. Akin to sayin...
  17. 100% accurate. One would be required to have a family care plan, which doesn't even have to be the non custodial parent. When the service member is deployed, generally the designated care taker under the care plan will receive the service member's ...
  18. Is this cheating?

    Of course it isn't cheating, otherwise most of the research done all over the world would be considered "cheating" when most research is based on research that has already been done, and quite often using the exact same information... which is expect...
  19. Should I tell my nursing school about my disorder?

    Absolutely not. Do not mention it to your institution unless you want to open up the *possibility* of you being under the mercy of an administration and possibly screw up future opportunities that might have otherwise been open to you if you'd have ...
  20. Group one -black list for nurses in dallas

    ... and that basic right would (if it existed per se') still be intact, because no one is stopping a would-be worker from working at Burger King, WalMart, The Dollar General Store, Popeyes Chicken, being a cross-walk guard, or working construction, e...
  21. Group one -black list for nurses in dallas

    Think of how many would-be physicians, and attorneys never became one only because they didn't do well on a standardized exam (MCAT/LSAT). Does a single exam make them bad or good, unsuccessful or successful applicants by default? Of course not, bu...
  22. Group one -black list for nurses in dallas

    At least one person mentioned whether or not it (concept of a "blacklist" was constitutional). Why wouldn't it be? Why shouldn't a business be afforded the same freedoms that we enjoy as individuals here in the U.S.? What "constitutional right" is...
  23. Can I lose my license for being nude on internet?

    License? No. Job possibilities? Unfortunately, Yes, because you have a lot of businesses that are unwilling and or unable to separate your personal business from what is required of you at work. If I ran a hospital, I couldn't care less what you did ...
  24. "You cannot have BSN or MSN on your nametag?"

    The hospital hasn't taken one single thing away from its nurses by requiring only RN after your name, and can "legally" require you to put "caretaker" after your name if they wanted to. The hospital is a business, and you work *for* them remember? ...
  25. 68WM6/ US Army

    Generally speaking, Colleges and Universities don't care what classes you've had in the military... they (military courses) DO NOT usually carry over for college credit, and justly so. Here's a good rule of thumb that you can apply to both the milita...
