    nynurse2be posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. "But nurses are in demand, how can it be hard to get into nursing school"?

    nynurse2be replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a combination of things. For one, most nurses do not get a PhD. In most universities, for a tenure-track position, a PhD is required. Hence the lack of tenure-track faculty. Most...

  9. Thoughts of the day?

    nynurse2be replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband won't discuss it with me anymore. He's like "be positive!" and I'm like "No! I'd rather assume I'm not getting in so I won't be so crushed if/when a rejection letter comes". So I'm playing...

  12. OT: and not getting paid?

    nynurse2be posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 friends who are new-ish (1.5 years) RNs. Both say that they usually are not paid OT b/c they need to get a supervisor's permission first, and fill out forms, and in the end it becomes more...

  14. Are nurses professionals ?

    nynurse2be replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses ARE professionals. However....I think the general public has a perception of nurses as less-than professional, as "yes-men" to doctors and administrators. This might get me flamed but here it...

    nynurse2be replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone for your insight. Since a few have a commented on it, I'll address my sensitivity to Jules' 2nd post: what I asked for was if anyone had been in a similar situation. I did appreciate...

    nynurse2be replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nynurse2be replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LovesDisney, I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I have a BA and MA, but the MA was paid for by my employer (I worked for a university). I still do have enormous BA loans though. I do not have...

  25. Getting a Spouse's Support

    nynurse2be replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jules, perhaps you really are trying to be helpful, but you sound quite condescending with your life lessons on children and marriage. I guess agreeing to disagree was too much to ask and you had to...
