  1. Stipened housing eligibility, owing 2 homes, paying no state income tax

    Cymy replied to stepaukob's topic in Travel

    I can't tell you whether you can claim your second home as your primary home, but I can tell you that you're almost certainly going to have to pay state income tax regardless if you work in a state...

  2. Books: Is the international version really the same?

    Cymy replied to d0ves's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used this book last semester. It is indeed exactly the same--I bought it from an eBay seller. The cover is orange instead of green and the girl is in a different position, but that's the only...

  3. Will a criminal record keep me from employment?

    Cymy replied to hjwong's topic in General Nursing

    Were you tried and convicted as an adult? If not, then your record should not be public

  4. Reasonable time frame for raise???

    Cymy replied to sun_chica's topic in General Nursing

    Wow... you're lucky to have gotten raises on anniversary dates in the past. I haven't worked in nursing at all yet as I am still a student, but I have 14 years experience in business. Unfortunately...

  5. Rejected from NHCTC - Manch because I don't have any money....

    Cymy replied to MyLittleCody120's topic in General Nursing

    With A&P you would only have to take an additional two credits in order to get financial aid in the form of loans. What about taking an easy class in addition to A&P? When you start nursing...

  6. Should I leave nursing, or is there a better fit for me?

    Cymy replied to SeaShellRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Based on your description, it sounds like it's the situation you're in, not the field of nursing or the sub-field of oncology nursing that is the problem. With two years of experience under your belt...

  7. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    Cymy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, my local supermarket is cheaper than the farmers' markets. But, unfortunately, fresh fruits and vegetables are more expensive than canned and frozen. I support 5 children--one I gave birth to...

  8. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    Cymy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my house fruit is a special treat, vegetables are from a can or frozen. If I go out and buy $25 worth of fruit my kids eat it all in two days and I'm lucky if I can get a single banana or

  9. Turning down job after accepting?

    Cymy replied to Obiwarz's topic in Nursing Career

    You might both be better off working at different hospitals and living between them--each of you commute 30 minutes rather than one of you an hour. Working in the same place as a significant other...

  10. My brothers stole my thunder!!

    Cymy replied to ooper3076's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry your GOOD news got overshadowed by the follies of your

  11. Anyone hear from NHCTC-Manchester yet??

    Cymy replied to roxxy3773's topic in General Nursing

    Yea! Congratulations!

  12. Nutmeg high?

    Cymy replied to occc2010rn's topic in Emergency

    Great, now we'll have to take a little paper card from the spice aisle to the pharmacy and sign the "potential drug abusers list" in order to do holiday

  13. I'm starting to think that all Professors are nutcases (long)

    Cymy replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if you follow that link and scroll down the page, you'll note that professor is also used to indicate any university teacher and comes from the latin "profiteri" which generally means any public...

  14. I'm starting to think that all Professors are nutcases (long)

    Cymy replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the United States most full-time instructors in colleges and universities are called "Professor," though it is a title that is assigned by the school. Personally I call ALL of my instructors...

  15. Medical emergencies with no land line

    Cymy replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect the article was a little off in reporting that the cell phone the 7 year old had was an "old" one. At exactly what age would YOU buy your kid a phone, even one that can only call you? It...

  16. Medical emergencies with no land line

    Cymy replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe Mom didn't realize Grandpa didn't have his phone with him? I do agree that it was a real problem in this case and they are all lucky that a tragedy was narrowly averted. It really bothers me...

  17. Medical emergencies with no land line

    Cymy replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    i haven't had a land line in my house in several years--i got sick of the extra expense for a phone that was only used by people calling to sell me something. my husband, i, and three of my kids have...

  18. Disrespectful to instructor....

    Cymy replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Assuming YOU are NOT from another country, I can very well understand that you may feel cheated out of a proper education in the United States. Your lack of proper grammar and complete...

  19. changing last name on RN license after marriage

    Cymy replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    You're still YOU, even if you change your name... or if you don't. You don't need to change the names on your diplomas, you just need to specify the names they were earned under when applying for...

  20. What's the funniest thing your patient has been scared of before?

    Cymy replied to UnidentifiedNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    My son had minor day surgery at 4 months and he'd always been a quiet, "perfect" baby. During the surgery I said to my husband, "What if he comes out of the surgery a screaming-meemie?" I was just...

  21. the vultures are circling

    Cymy replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    To those who had a rep there during surgery or afterwards, are you sure it was a sales rep and not a technician? It would be appropriate for a technician to be there to provide technical support, but...

  22. High School LPN Program

    Cymy replied to DermNP2Be's topic in LPN to RN

    After she's an LPN she can apply to an LPN to RN program that offers an ADN (2 years, she'd probably only have to do 1-1.5 years, depending on the school) or go into a BSN program at a four year...

  23. Child Abuse Clearances

    Cymy replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This sounds pretty ridiculous to me, who is requiring this information? I was born in 1975 and although I could easily get my old addresses from when I was a baby (I figure I've lived at no fewer...

  24. Anyone hear from NHCTC-Nashua?

    Cymy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone heard from NHCTC-Nashua? I was told in my interview that we'd hear about whether we got accepted or not in late March. I got a Transfer Credit Evaluation last week, but no word on whether...

  25. Anyone hear from NHCTC-Nashua?

    Cymy replied to Cymy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't normally announce my NLN score (or any score!) because I don't want people to hate me. 160... I test well. I found the test really hard--some of the stuff I had no clue about, especially on...
