It's plagiarism - which is against the academic policy of every accredited college and university. More importantly - why would one want to deprive one's self of the learning that comes from writing...
I am an incoming student at UCSF. The programs are competitive and the NP and midwivery tracks are the most competitive. That said - if you do not apply your application will not be read and you...
I disagree. It would be ethically problematic to have a two-tier information access policy, one for employees and one for non-employees. An employee should get copies of their medical records and...
Right - and this begs the question "What is the Higher Learning Commission?" BSN programs are accredited by the the organizations linked in the OP. A poster asked about accreditation in the...
Errr, I would really talk to a lawyer on this. The internet (even allnurses) is not a good place to get legal advice - well meaning but bad advice could give you a false sense of security. Plus, have...
I come from the business world where I conducted well over a thousand interviews, both panel and individual, in my career. The above poster mentions three good points. To these I would add that from...
Of course I would not want to be referred to as a "boy nurse" in a professional setting. BUT given that I am 42, and given that the poster is 17 - I am flattered... To the OP - watch out, men nurses...
txmomof2- Congrats on going back to school. I am almost 43 and I have been at it the last 5 years - just got my BS in cell bio and now I am on to a masters entry program. If your interested in...
Are you planning on doing all this over the summer? If so, I would say it is way too much. Most folks find their first semester of chem to be a challenge - it is a very different way of thinking....
Personally, I have never been bothered by listening to other folks sexual exploits. In groups of men or women - I find them interesting. To me sexual behavior is quite fascinating. I rarely add to...
I am just starting an MSN program in San Fran. I found the following: 1. Nurses, both women and men, in the Bay Area enjoy some of the best compensation in the world (for nurses). Starting salaries...
I agree with Jessie here. If your coworkers don't get the message after the above intervention then tell them directly "I am uncomfortable when you have conversations of a sexual nature. Please stop."...
Speaking for experience it is not easy to work ft and go do school ft. It is possible but not easy. No matter what program you are in I would advise that you don't bite off more than you can chew in...
jml444- It looks like you have a broad range of work experience - I reckon you will be success in whatever field you choose. Good luck! With regard to happiness at work... Over the course of my...
D&Ggirl - I certainly don't mean to suggest that bedside nursing is the only nursing. I do, however, argue that it is foundational. If you read the posts from the nurses doing non-bedside...
I am not yet a nurse - but in my experience the above is true in all professions. Hoteliers, teachers, lawyers, physicians, engineers, scientists, every job I can thinks of - all "learn" the job in...
Time is on your side! Have you thought about further study? An MBA would certainly help you get a foothold into process related jobs like quality control and risk management. Plus all of the MBA's I...
Where do you live? You may wish to consider relocating. Have you talked to a head hunter? An earlier poster indicated that your age may be a problem. I would agree. No offense, but your post indicates...

Right. Living here is not cheap. Plus, SQ is located in Marin county, one of the priciest parts of the bay area. Another thing affecting pay may be the number of nursing jobs available in the bay area...
NB - I am not familiar with Kansas regulations on this (if indeed there are any). I live in Cali - volunteered at a community clinic where they trained me to be an MA. If you really like this woman -...
Your in the right place! I will finish my BS in Cell Biology next month. In June I start in direct entry MSN program with a Critical Care Nursing Focus. My .02 - if you are interested in advanced...
You will also find that there are MSN programs will accept you with a non-nursing BS or BA coupled with an ADN. These programs (many at top tier universities) suggest an MSN pretty much obviates the...

I know a nurse practitioner that worked there and she loved it. I also now several people that have volunteered as teachers at SQ -all found it rewarding. I would, however, offer that I hang out with...
