This summer has been incredibly rainy--I'm only taking one class a day so I only need to transport a binder and textbook at a time. I'm using a Hefty OneZip 2.5 gallon bag into which I can just squeeze the binder and with the paperback (internationa...

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 that has an income tax. I'll use Massachusetts and N...

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 difference. Mine came with a subscription to the webs...

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

When I was growing up my little sister had a friend named Michelin. She said her dad had something to do with the tire company. But the company itself is named after its founders, the Michelin brothers, so it's a real name (French, I believe), even...

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 in most office jobs the concept of a yearly raise ...

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 you'll have at least 21 hours a week of class anyw...

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 plus experience as a charge nurse, you should be ...

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 and am still breastfeeding at age 3 (so I do worry ...

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 apple!

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 can lead to problems of various sorts. Beyond the o...

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

Yea! Congratulations! :)

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 baking.

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 teacher. the definition provided by allwords.com seems ...

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 "Professor," whether or not they actually are--it's a s...

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 couldn't have possibly been more than a year or two...

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 that my mother and aunt don't have cell phones--my m...

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 cell phones. of the two that don't, one is 3 yea...

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 misunderstanding of the system is simply amazing. I went to high...

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 jobs if that job requires you to do so. I'm not even...

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 joking, but not much later a post-op nurse came to ...

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 a sales rep would be a completely different story...

Aren't NPs usually post-bachelors degree too? That's why I drew the parallel.

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 school and have some sort of advanced standing there.
