  1. PHCC Hopefuls for spring 09

    Lstcats replied to kkcontractors's topic in Florida Nursing

    How did you all make out @ PHCC? When I was done in the Tampa area last month I met with some faculty to check out the school for future employment when I move to FL. I hope that you get in. I was...

  2. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    Lstcats replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I agree that there are some people who "complain" about FL because they don't know how GREAT they have it. It amazes me! I live near Boston and I can tell you that it is different in FL. I am...

  3. LPN Instructor Position

    Lstcats replied to lsutigerrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The salaries are very low in nursing education hence, the reason why there is a huge shortage. I made $43K per year here in MA where the starting salary for a new grad is about $50K per year. Figure...

  4. money for cont ed

    Lstcats replied to nurseebol's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I, too, am facing the same issue. I can't afford school and it is mandatory for me to teach at any school as FT faculty incluuding PN. It is very strict here in MA and a MSN is required for all...

  5. MSN or PhD to teach nursing?

    Lstcats replied to Sunflower3's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi all, I am rereading these and very intriguing to find out that MSN prepared nurses can teach in BSN programs as full faculty. I live near Boston and it is definitely against BORN to have anything...

  6. MSN or PhD to teach nursing?

    Lstcats replied to Sunflower3's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, it does depend on your geographic area. But, most of the time you need a PhD for BSN programs but not for clinical. MSN is fine for clinical adjunct. MSN degree is fine for all other programs...

  7. I just want to say..

    Lstcats replied to Gemini84's topic in Parish

    I really enjoyed reading your comments. I have often thought of starting a Parish Nursing in my church. I recently left that church and now at a smaller church of about 800. If you feel God is leading...

  8. Sleep apnea

    Lstcats posted a topic in General Nursing

    Next time you have a patient with sleep apnea try turning them on their side to sleep. Put a pillow or some device behind their back and you may just see a difference. I tell you this because I suffer...

  9. Nursing and Fibromyalgia

    Lstcats replied to CaLVN530's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It is so nice to have this website for FM suffers. I don't call it FMS because then I feel that it isn't a real disease and just a bunch of symptoms that make up a syndrome. I so appreciate what you...

  10. Any Nurses recieving SSD/SSI

    Lstcats replied to Poochee's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I believe this is against the law for her to ask you about your diagnosis and the # of MD visits. It sounds

  11. Would I have any problems being a nurse with an associates degree?

    Lstcats replied to pinkstar17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi Pinkstar, I agree w/ queenjean. She said almost exactly what I said except for your location. Where do you live? What state? That does matter re: BSN vs. ADN. I live near Boston and some of the...

    Lstcats replied to Brian's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am so surprised at this. Sounds discriminating. i wonder if there are other states that do this. MA is certainly not one of them or I probably would not be a

    Lstcats replied to Brian's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have bipolar and I only once told about it when it was at the point that I was in trouble at work and being written up for my behavior which was out of control. They then said, "You shouldn't have...

    Lstcats replied to Brian's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi nurses, I am new to this site and think this might be old forum so will be brief. I am struggling tremendously with Fibromyalgia and OSA (obst. sleep apnea). I am only working one day per week. I...
