    How do you get to Blue from the mobile app?

    I just want to thank everyone for your thoughts, and for those who reached out to me via PM. I do appreciate

    I give in, I'm a COB

    You're right. I'm going to bow out of this thread

    RN-BSN

    I do not know what SNHU is, so I can't compare between the two. I received my BSN at WGU and have no

    And yes, "horizontal violence" IS a thing. Although, I've always heard of it called "lateral violence". A good friend of mine wrote her PhD dissertation on lateral violence among

    I give in, I'm a COB

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a COB. I will never be a COB. I dislike cliques of any kind (and I simultaneously shudder and roll my eyes at the idea that there are "cool kids" here). Seeing all the obsequiousness being...

    Finished Biochemistry in less than a week!

    klone replied to CLUVRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Like Commuter, I finished it in around three weeks. I think it was probably the most challenging class for me in the program. I think the citric acid cycle was the one I struggled

    Our birth control initiative was written up in the NYTimes!

    That's too bad. There are lots of things that can be done to mitigate

    Early Release of Mom's and Infants

    klone replied to ladytraviler's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Delivering at home or at a birth center is not often a viable option for many women, in many communities. MANY communities do not have FSBCs, or good homebirth midwife options, and a hospital is the...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm done. This thread is causing way more frustration than I need in my life right now. I'm not in a good head space to be engaging in debate right now.

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Okay. But the whole point of the article you take issue with is a rebuttal of another article, where the author DID talk about how nurses go home and cry about her patients, and the overriding theme...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Good lord, do you not understand my general point? Am I not being clear? For every post I made, substitute "cost of living" for "location," then.

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    You're right - I said or suggested that RNs are the highest paid. They may not be. But my overall point remains - when compared to other associate's-prepared careers out there, while they may not be...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    And cost of living is dependent upon location. Salaries are dependent upon location and cost of living. I feel like you're missing my point, or intentionally ignoring it. An RN in Omaha, Nebraska,...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Of course, but even in a low cost of living area, an RN is still going to make more than most other associate's degree careers in that same area. Cost of living does not just affect nursing

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    You may think there are "tons more" but my point was that the reality is that MOST associate degrees do NOT earn that much right out of the gate. It's a FACT. And any RN can work "tons of overtime"...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    But that was the point of the article. For many, it *is* a bragging right. She was specifically addressing that point from a previous article, and the tone, which was braggy and "we're so awesome and...

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    We do too, but we are trying to encourage IUDs for our nullips, particularly now that we offer Skyla (like Mirena, but a bit smaller and easier to insert on a nullip and lasts for 3 years instead of...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Name ANY other associate's degree program where one can get a job, right out of the gate, making $40-60K/year. COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING, nursing pays very well for a 2-year-degree. In fact, I would say...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    That was totally my point in the post I made earlier. I'm tired of people who make nurses out to be martyrs. Sort of like that post from the boyfriend of the pre-nursing student, coming here to ask...

    Oregon now requires 384 RN or CNM hours prior to licensure

    Why 384? That seems like such a weird random number. Are there any direct entry CNM programs in Oregon? Just trying to figure out if this is an actual
