  1. Wife with BSN with NO drive, what to do??

    djc1981 replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm...she won't work a decent job while she's able to and demands luxuries like cable television? Maybe she can be a good legal nurse for the divorce attorney you

  2. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    djc1981 replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    1981 was 27 years ago (my birth year!). Times have changed, bud. Now, law schools are popping up like Subways. I know several buddies of mine who regret the high debt for the law school because there...

  3. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    djc1981 replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    So true. There are so many law schools now that anyone can find one to get into. The market has been bumrushed. Now, if you arent in a Tier 1 school, you will be lucky to get a 35K/yr job in local...

  4. Do you accept tips?

    djc1981 replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

    ONLY if it was alot of money and the patient was really cute.

  5. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    djc1981 replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else find the complete incongruency with the OP's screenname and the sexist, judgemental, way too far reaching rant nearly hilarious?? I would almost think this was meant to be a comical...

  6. Discussion- Urge Congress to Support HR 5924: Legislation to Address Nursing Shortage

    djc1981 replied to lawrence01's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If this bill passes and we have an influx of cheap foreign labor, watch out. Salaries will drop incredibly and quickly for all nurses. This is bogus, IMHO. It will only make things worse in the long...

    djc1981 replied to surgtech2rn's topic in General Nursing

  8. Tell me about your RN-MSN program...

    djc1981 replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm looking into the University of South Alabama. They have distance learning FNP and ACNP RN-MSN programs. Seems to be a really good

  9. Tell me again why I should choose FNP over ANP

    djc1981 replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I personally like that NPs are specialized. Ironically, its makes them more trained in the MD/DO vein. Physicians are not "jack of all trades", they specialize in family health, peds, gyn/ob/,...

  10. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    djc1981 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    My aunt works in the OR. She does some OT, but not horrendously. She made 95K last year. Tell someone trying to feed their family of 4 working in a hot, backbreaking factory thats not good money....

  11. Grades don't matter!

    djc1981 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    You can get all A's and still have lots of fun in the meantime. Ace the test on the weekday, party hardy on the weekend. I manage

  12. Tell me again why I should choose FNP over ANP

    djc1981 replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think there are a number of things NPs and PAs can learn from each other. There is also things PAs can teach us so that we don't follow in their mistakes. NPs are making leaps and bounds not being...

  13. Grades don't matter!

    djc1981 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Some of you need to chill out getting so worked up over "who did/did not make an A or a C". We are adults here!

  14. Grades don't matter!

    djc1981 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Well, go on with yourself, sister

  15. Grades don't matter!

    djc1981 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Stanley, don't be surprised when you get beat up at the CRNA office for you're smug attitude. I keed...I keed. More power to

  17. Is the pay really that bad??

    djc1981 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone always says "you won't get rich doing this job". Well, how many jobs DO you get rich at? If they were plentiful, we'd all be rich!! 99.9999% of all jobs you don't get rich at. Bankers,...

  18. Where would you move?

    djc1981 replied to Nurse__Mary's topic in General Nursing

    djc1981 replied to aqua123's topic in General Nursing

    Nice to have another Charleston, WV

  20. Is the pay really that bad??

    djc1981 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Some people clearly have major anger management issues. Do I think nurses should be paid more for what they do? Absolutely. Is it terrible money? No. Nurses are paid more than the vast majority...

  21. Is the pay really that bad??

    djc1981 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. All these people swimming in self-pity. If nursing has really taken everything away from you and is so horrible, then please leave! You and everyone you work with will be much happier...i assure...

  22. Is the pay really that bad??

    djc1981 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, nursing pays good. Especially for the fact that entry level requires an associates degree. Wanna talk about being screwed? Look at education -- even into higher education. Those people get...

  23. NP working as RN

    djc1981 replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your position seems to be the exception, and not the rule. 10K more a year for many is a whole years mortgages or luxury car payments+. You have to remember thats 10K more every year for the rest of...

  24. Men and Bulimia

    djc1981 replied to dylansmama's topic in General Nursing

    It happens. Most guys don't want to talk about it because its seen as a female disease. I've had friends with it. It seems to affect gay men often -- thus even more stigma. It's really a terrible...

  25. Is the pay really that bad??

    djc1981 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    In all fairness, my aunt is a RN and takes multiple vacations a year to exotic places! Its more about money management than simply saying RNs can NOT afford these things
