    djc1981 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

  4. Some hard questions about entering nursing

    djc1981 replied to Anotherguy's topic in Men in Nursing

    To the OP, maybe shadowing a few nurses will give you a better idea. No offense, but RN1989 sounds very bitter and burnt out and may not be the most reliable source. There are TONS of nurses who LOVE...

  5. Who is in Nursing for the money?

    djc1981 replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Money is a huge factor for me choosing this. I will be making more w/ my Nursing degree than all my buddies with their business and liberal arts degrees. I can also go on to grad school and make a...

  8. Job market 2008

    djc1981 replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, you'd be shocked. Most first year lawyers are making less than 50K. Law has become oversaturated, and unless you're in a top 20 school, get ready to be a public official making around 40K...

  9. Sex and Nursing School

    djc1981 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    I apologize. It was said off the cuff in a joking manner, but really is not how I feel at all. Sorry for any

  10. Cafeteria for Night Shift

    djc1981 replied to TylerTXRN's topic in General Nursing

  11. Sex and Nursing School

    djc1981 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    I can believe the cheating statistics if they are based not just on marriages but from relationships in general. It happens...alot. Men are not biologically made to be with one person...we are meant...

  12. Guys- what made you want to become a nurse?

    djc1981 replied to glamgalRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    The steady and flexible nature of the job was key. The money and ability for upward mobility was good. I get to wear jammies to work. What else is there in

  13. Bedside Nurse, APN Preferred!

    djc1981 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This may seem like a silly question, but can American NPs just apply for and move to Canada for jobs? Is there any regulations, visas, education blocks to

  14. Will I be able to live my life as a nurse?

    djc1981 replied to ministry88's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad you don't want to be a journalist...you have a refreshing handle on language and totally sound like a writer on Dawson's Creek. I, as well, have fallen into nursing. It's a good, safe,...

  16. Did You Settle for Nursing?

    djc1981 replied to sarahrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel like nursing is "settling", then by all means don't do it. You'll only make yourself and everyone around you miserable. Also, the nurses I know are far from what I would ever consider...

  17. I'm starting to get concerned about salary...

    djc1981 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely have a point. Usually COL is referring to housing costs and utilities, and to a lesser point food as I understand

    djc1981 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty low. The OP must live in the South

  21. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    djc1981 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do think there is a problem with our system -- people have to decide to start working and not qualify for medicaid or not work and have healthcare. Obviously, most mothers opt to have healthcare....

  22. Male nurses

    djc1981 replied to kjetski's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think the BSN will ever become the entry level point. The nursing supply would literally be cut in half, and all the community college programs would have to be closed -- as by definition...

  23. Do PAs go to Med School?

    djc1981 replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  24. Just watched "Hopkins" and I have a question!

    djc1981 replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing
