  2. Just need to vent alittle

    kenny b replied to RNLisa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh yeah, one more thing. Please, please, please find the best podiatrist in your area (there are some that are not good enough to help you, so choose carefully!) Then get yourself a great pair of...

  3. Just need to vent alittle

    kenny b replied to RNLisa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Took the words right outta my mouth! Please, please, please NEVER stop asking the questions! I'm still as student and I make computer wafers right now (been in it for 10 years). When I started in...

  4. So Very Sad

    kenny b replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even a nursing student yet (working on the prereqs), but I know the demand for nurses provides some flexibility. If you love nurses and have issues with your boss, how about a different...

  5. What to Buy

    kenny b replied to shaazzaamm34's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on board with the savers. You can afford the 350Z. You just have to wait awhile. And if a nurse maximizes the retirement contributions (401k and ROTH), that nurse can easily be rich beyond...

  9. Could this affect my chance at employment?

    kenny b posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had an abusive father who wasn't a very productive contributor to the family. At 35 I'm thinking I'd like to see someone to try to put it all behind me. However, I wonder if there are questions...

  10. Could this affect my chance at employment?

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    And now for the million-dollar question: How do I find someone who is talented (and incidentally doesn't want to milk my visits for personal

  11. Could this affect my chance at employment?

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    First allow me to thank you all for your kindness. It is very reassuring and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Second, I want to put your minds at ease here since I may have worried some of you. I'm not...

  12. 4.0 GPA ...Great memorizing abilities.Yes...Good thinking/reasoning skills maybe not!

    kenny b replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Good points all. So what would you say to a different kind of test? If you truly can tell who's who within the first week, how about some kind of practical trial-by-fire for a couple of weeks?...

  15. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    kenny b replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad. But I suspect that IF it is the official policy, then it is probably liability-driven. Not THAT is really sad. While a great deal of good has come from the right to sue, certainly...

  16. Desperate !!

    kenny b replied to mika1's topic in General Nursing

    This might be a slam-dunk. You've got to call the United Way. If you can substatiate your situation, they will almost certainly be able to refer you to some help. They are all about helping people...

  17. Dallas area pay rates?

    kenny b replied to cotzoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm somewhat young (35) and I got a less expensive house in order to free up disposable income for investment purposes and peace of mind. My understanding is that time in the market is the key to...

  18. Dallas area pay rates?

    kenny b replied to cotzoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    Administrators, please let me know gently if this post is too way off topic. I just think that this information may benefit a lot of nurses faced with the same decision. I'm still feeling my way...

  20. Suck at Clinicals...Should I just Quit Now?

    kenny b replied to Melcia060's topic in General Students

    Be very careful here. When you're head-down in it, these problems fill up your whole world. If you give up, you could look back and say, "It was bad, but I could have made it and everything would be...

  21. Program Length and Value-Added Material

    kenny b posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know there are a lot of RV vs. BSN posts, but I haven't found the answer to this quesiton there. My local University offers a 16-month Bacchelor's degree to BSN program which lasts 16 months (my...

  22. Program Length and Value-Added Material

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I followed your advice. It appears that the community college program has more clinicals and that sews it up for me. I need the extra two months of pay since I will be attending without...

  23. Interview Help!

    kenny b replied to Soph_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess this is a little late, but an RN friend of mine recommended them over Lovelace and UNMH with gusto! So please let me know how it worked out, because I'll have to make that decision at some...

    kenny b replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the demand will always be there for bagels and cakes, that's for sure! It's right up there with nicotine and gasoline in terms of

  25. One thing I'd wish I'd known before going to the USA......

    kenny b replied to RGN1's topic in United Kingdom

    I thought you may have. No biggie. But many (probably most or almost all) of the folks around here have decided that their children do no need naps after perhaps the age of 2. Seems that naps are...
