  1. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    Mr_D replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say you are coming across as morally superior here. Just b/c you had sinned in your credit ways and now see the light doesn't mean that one prescription fits everyone. It would be one thing...

  2. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    Mr_D replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    Bad idea? depends on your passion. If you are "into" computing, then it's not a "bad" idea. It's a difficult career path though. There are a LOT of very talented people who were layed off because of...

  3. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    Mr_D replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting thread. It certainly gives those of us who are busting our chops to get into nursing school a moment to pause. AND -- I'm not too worried about it. I can tell you, the...

  4. Help! Can't decide between nursing or teaching

    Mr_D replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    I looked into both very, very thoroughly. Also, I had talked with a lot of teachers while installing computer systems in the school systems. I came to the conclusion that the education system is...

  5. What are similarities, differences between FNP and PA?

    Mr_D posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I returned from Doctor visit where my 2 year old was attended to by a PA. I asked her about how she see's FNP and PA's, She was responsive, and unfortunately talked a mile a minute. I was able...

  6. pay scale- why so hush hush??

    Mr_D replied to lanilpn's topic in General Nursing

    Big picture? The really big picture is it's been a huge fight that started late in the 19th century. Workers realized they were getting exploited, getting paid mere pennies per hundred dollars of...

  7. Call to ACTION - Nursing OT pay, RN licensure is in jeopardy!

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure -- don't have enough information. It would be a good thing to research state by state -- just to find out what the rules are. One person pointed out that a nurse can't get charged...

  8. Will RN's, LPN's be affected by the new OT rules?

    Mr_D posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi everyone, It looks like the definitions for who get's overtime are changing -- opposition to the OT rules crumbled tonight against administration threats to veto the gov't funding bill and pass the...

  9. Will RN's, LPN's be affected by the new OT rules?

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm reading that Nurses can be charged with "Patient Abandonment" for refusing to come in. Which of course opens the doors to stripping your RN licensure. I wonder how many hospitals would play...

  12. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    That's intense. How did you respond to them? What's the story behind you leaving? did you HAVE to leave? or was it something more benign e.g. better opportunity. Pls share any wisdom gained from...

  13. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough. C'mon, you can do better that this. That's a low-blow (pun intended). Why not try eating your own dogfood: Scratch out my eyes? OK.... What would Mohammad do? :-) regards,

  14. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    This is great -- you should write the book. I learned a long time ago to be careful of flirting at work -- was never that comfortable at it and that was before harassament lawsuits were common....

  16. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting post. I wasn't thinking of this type of male/female tension, however I would guess it's more prevalent. I can easily see this being the norm for individuals especially if they don't work...

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your thoughful response. I'm beginning to see that being surrounded by "women professionals" is what I need to keep in mind. I thought of this thread a lot yesterday as walking across...

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you have to have a few conversations to be able to have the conversation ya really want to have. For this topic I realized I haven't been here long enough. I learned quickly that this topic...

    Mr_D replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    NICU-Nurse, Thanks so much for responding so thoughtfully. My original post had to go through several revisions, may have turned off a few. I am receiving what I asked for: lessons for decorum...

    Mr_D replied to Future_RN3385's topic in General Students

    I have a BA in American Studies so having to take the 5 science/biology prereqs and developmental psych. Does that suck? No - not at all. At one time I was going to go for an MBA, a degreee...
