    I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    mclennan replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I feel compelled to reply. Even if my story helps one person a tiny bit, it's worth it. Nursing school killed my marriage. We were together 3 years, then I started school, we married at the...

    cost of healthy meals

    mclennan replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    And I don't buy lack of time as an excuse. If something is truly important to you, you will MAKE time for it. I shop my local 99 Cent Store all the time for AWESOME fresh produce. Places like Whole...

    cost of healthy meals

    mclennan replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    The long term return on the investment will offset the up front cost. What you spend on spinach today, you will save on Metformin later. Our poor species. It's so hopeless sometimes it's pitiful....

    Broken Health Care System???

    mclennan replied to csistudent37's topic in General Nursing

    The health care system in America has been "broken" for DECADES. That ship sailed many years ago. I am sorry to enlighten you of this fact. Trying to find a job as a new grad ADN RN will only sour...

    Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    mclennan replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    When hubby goes out of town, and I have the house to myself, I pig out on grilled cheese and tomato soup - using white bread, butter, Kraft singles and Campbell's with milk. (Normally it would be...

    FLAME ON!

    mclennan replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    The funny thing is, if the moderators/owners/PTB of AN set up some stricter entrance rules, some kind of introductory posting criteria (common for many boards, not crazy/unheard of), or ANY kind of...

    Has anyone ever escaped?

    mclennan replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I respect the heck out of your posts, GrnTea, but this is a little short sighted & oversimplified. Nurses are more powerless now than ever, with numbers and politics stacking the deck...

    How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    mclennan replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    EXACTLY. Mentioning tuition isn't about buying entitlement to break rules. It's about holding professors and the school, who I'm paying to provide me a service, accountable to deal with this issue in...

    How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    mclennan replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    I think it's a little over the top, and somewhat lazy for a prof to do this. The entire class should not be treated like caged reptiles because a few were late. For the INSANE cost of tuition, these...

    If grad school was paid for, but not for nursing

    mclennan posted a topic in General Nursing

    If YOU were in your 40s & burnt to a crisp on nursing, and someone else was paying for you to go to grad school, what would you study? NOT nursing related. Healthcare related.....okay.....just...

    mclennan replied to vch1102's topic in California Nursing

    L.A. RN here. I strongly recommend you stay away. Jobs are scarce and hard to land for even experienced BSN RNs with specialty certifications. The average rent for a 1 bedroom here is $1800/mo,...
