  1. New "Hopkins" reality show

    djc1981 replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    thanks so much for the

  2. Would you marry a female MD?

    djc1981 replied to cgun101's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, as long as I could buy lots of stuff and never have to consumate the

  3. Need advice and insight

    djc1981 replied to youknowhowwedoit77's topic in Men in Nursing

    Obviously, only you can decide whats ultimately right for you. I was also looking into law school before deciding upon nursing. But then I started researching and asking around, and was quite...

  4. Should boyfriend help me out?

    djc1981 replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    Like others, I see no reason he should be expected to help you pay for school. You are living with your parents and are not married to him. Nursing school is tough -- if it wasn't, everyone would do...

  5. New "Hopkins" reality show

    djc1981 replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    i personally would love a show to highlight what nurses do. i think it would be fascinating to see the ins and outs of what the deal with. along with bringing more respect and attention to the...

  6. New "Hopkins" reality show

    djc1981 replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    This show looks like its going to spotlight more than work, though. They follow them at home and show them with their families. Should be good

  7. TB Positive a while back

    djc1981 replied to LostSoul's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same thing happen to me. Tested positive for TB and had to take medication. I wouldn't worry about it. Most nursing programs just require you to get a chest x-ray if you usually test...

  8. Things you'd like to say to your co-workers, but never would ....

    djc1981 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    All these dreams about the doctors! How sexist! jk:p. In retaliation...how about a random "Oh, I love all these hot, thin, young graduate nurses. So naive and doe-eyed, just looking for help at...

  9. Obama assists at St. Louis hospital

    djc1981 replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    90 minutes is better than 0 minutes...exactly the amount of time mccain showed interest in

  10. Amount of RN experience prior to starting MSN program

    djc1981 replied to mt33133's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In a perfect world, the more experience as an RN, the better. It certainly couldn't hurt you! I'll have about a year and 8 months before I start my graduate studies. Many PA's have no healthcare...

  11. How will Obama's health care plan affect nurses?

    djc1981 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in General Nursing

    Ok...when did wearing a flag lapel pin become a prerequisite for President of the United States? This has to be the most inane, senseless argument the Repubicans have created to try to sway the...

  12. How will Obama's health care plan affect nurses?

    djc1981 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in General Nursing

    they way i see things....the country is not in a good place right now in many ways. how did we get to this? i'm not sure. but i do know that mccain has been in d.c. for about 200 years, and obama...

  13. Too poor to become a nurse?

    djc1981 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I think looking at local community colleges is a great start. They are pretty cost effective. It is actually a small investment when you look at how much your income will raise. You could...

  14. How will Obama's health care plan affect nurses?

    djc1981 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in General Nursing

    so, i take it your a democrat? i really don't think it would be all doom and gloom like you make it sound. if mccain wins, it will be just as bad. we'd all be taxed to death paying for the iraq war...

  15. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    djc1981 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    i was checking out the university of michigans 2007 employee salary chart (they are forced to release it). rns were consistently among the top paid employees (short of physicians and professors). they...

  16. Is nursing the right choice?

    djc1981 replied to sundayspaper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I wish I was as wealthy as you to shrug off 55K/yr! I make less than half that now. If the OP stayed in teaching, she'd be starting at 40K tops. And did you know the ave. college grad starts...

  17. Dating at work

    djc1981 replied to galenanurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I think dating someone in your own unit could be tricky. Often times administration frowns upon this...but even more difficult..what if you break up? You still have to work around that...

  18. New grad doesn't like new job!

    djc1981 replied to sunandsand's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I say start looking for a new job asap! Apparently, you got a job at the Macy's cosmetics counter and not a health care facility! That advice to try new hairstyles and makeup (providing, as you...

  19. Troops being sustained by antidepressants

    djc1981 replied to martinb216's topic in General Nursing

    If the troops need SSRI's, then yes they should get them. However, I think it's tragically sad we are putting them in a never-ending situation in which they have to utilize SSRI's to get through the...

  20. Do you think you are adequately compensated in your job as a nurse?

    djc1981 replied to *TK8's topic in General Nursing

    It's all so relative. I just get irritated by so many people complaining about it! If you hate it -- please leave. Wal-Mart and Target will always be willing to hire you -- and you will have rude...

  21. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    djc1981 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    No, I was just using what I know from my life and experiences. I'm male and thus used the masculine pronouns in my example. Back down, Gloria

  22. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    djc1981 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    actually, i would never recommend law school. most guys come out of it 100k in debt, and starting salaries for most is under 40k. you have to work almost 80-100 hrs. a week to see any substantial...

    ella, west virginia state and camc have a program with one entering class each year of about 40 students. camc pays for everything for the rn program in agreement you work for them for 3 years. i'm...

  24. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    djc1981 replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    don't shoot the messenger -- i'm just stating how it is here. the realities are different for everywhere. my state has no acnp program, and all job ads just state they want a np. i'm sure its much...

  25. How did it come to this?

    djc1981 replied to Southernurse's topic in General Nursing

    hey there. i'm not even a nurse yet, so take my advice with a grain of salt. perhaps you need to step back from nursing for a little bit -- to see if you miss it....to see if its really something...
