  1. Essays being written by 3rd parties - your views.

    czyja replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  2. PNP admissions at UCSF

    czyja replied to ally427's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  3. But it's MY medical information

    czyja replied to BaByMaMa's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  4. Please Read!!

    czyja replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. RNs doing chemical peels?

    czyja replied to Pete3's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    czyja replied to RUcon08's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  7. Boy Nurses!

    czyja replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    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...

  9. Prospective Second Degree Nurse Needs Advice

    czyja replied to jbjorn2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    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....

  10. Talking Dirty

    czyja replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  12. Talking Dirty

    czyja replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    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."...

  13. CNS vs NP?

    czyja replied to NICUplease's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    You don't sound like a bimbo. I wouldn't rule out anything in life. You'd be quite surprised at how fast time flies when you get

  14. better to be an rn or an lpn?

    czyja replied to jenn-jenn's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  16. Add'l jobs for RN's other than bedside

    czyja replied to jml444's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  17. Add'l jobs for RN's other than bedside

    czyja replied to jml444's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    czyja replied to D&Ggirl's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    czyja replied to D&Ggirl's topic in General Nursing

  21. Anyone work at San Quentin Prison?

    czyja replied to psychonurse771's topic in Correctional

    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...

  22. Can you train a MA that hasn't gone to school?

    czyja replied to Cinthyaisabel's topic in General Nursing

    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 -...

    czyja replied to Backflip's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
