I am about to start nursing school and a good friend of mine said her sister went to LVN school and could only make 9 per hour and decided to quit being an LVN. I told her that hourly rate sounded...
I spoke to the teacher at the local community college today in Orange County and she said no one is hiring LVN's these days, especially not in hospitals. She said the LVN's we see at hospitals are...

I'm sure you might get arrogance anywhere you go. RN's work hard at getting to that level and I'm sure resent an LVN with less schooling to be doing the same job. However, if the RN you mentioned...
I'm going off what my other RN friends say as well. They feel there is power in white as well. What I think is odd is that the elderly nurses on this thread think there is power in white and some...
My sister was an Opthamology Tech in Sacramento and really liked it despite her crazy manager. Her friends who were RN's really loved their job but Kaiser is notorious for poor

And QJ, thanks for allowing me a place in the nursing world. It does take all kinds and I'm pretty rare:) I think feminism is a great thing, but when it comes to emasulating men in spite of feminism,...

Good enough. It's the scrubs that look unprofessional and sloppy and anything unisex to me is sheman material. Not that the nurse is a sheman herself. Remember Saturday Night Live, Pat? Scrubs...

In my experience, the more spry the man was the more older he got. If there is life kicking in his veins, good. I don't think all men are sexist, but most are - put a bunch of men together in a...

Your making the article I mentioned my own statements. I think any woman who is making a point to be presentable and clean, fresh is being feminine or aka 'pretty'. They don't have to be Barbie. I've...

Of course it's sexist. I can't change men and most are in their weakest moment if they are not behaving. And when are sick people at their best? You can google it. I think my search words were, can...
oh i get it ruby, more than you you know. for some reason those who are conservative and like tradition threatens you. my opinion counts as a patient as well as a to-be nurse. my good friends who...
Are you not serving a patient by helping them get better? Are you not helping or serving a doctor by following his orders? I attend hospitals where a good % of the nurses are nun's. They do have an...

Again, your taking it too personal. If a man is spry enough to whistle that means he's feeling better and should be going home soon. I don't take it personal. I doubt a whistling man would be dying...

I can see there were many assumptions made about my post. I was going to be a nun 6 years ago and so I wear A line skirts ONLY. My father loves women looking like women. Actually he makes the nuns...

Even in the most messiest of circumstances a woman can still be feminine even if the job isn't. I just came from 16 years of engineering working with all men and that is NOT feminine. However, we all...

I"n not confused at all. And I'm not a feminist either. My father is a hoot and the nurses laugh at him. If you would be insulted by an old man thinking your pretty, you've got issues. Time to see...

I'm only surprised because of what www.payscale.com has and the nursing students in Socal say it's about $20 per hour down here average. That's good to know it's higher. How do nurses work on...
Personally, I love Clorox so white is the perfect color and clorox for getting the stains out. Imagine trying to get stains out of red or another bright color? White is totally useful for this...
I've only read a few pages of this thread, but white is very powerful as a patient. I am just starting nursing school and I do have enough experience to know white has power... Why? Because I've...

I'm so glad to see this thread. I love skirts. I have this big issue with being feminine and I know when my father is in the hospital he whistles at the nurses who look feminine. I just read an...

This is the exact reason I just registered on this forum. I'm in the same shoes and I was thinking due to the nursing shortage, there would be REAL help out there for nursing students, but instead I...
