  1. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    whoknows56 replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be point blank. Debt matters and the more you have, the more stress people tend to have and less money that can be spent in other areas. Some people pay $500 a month in student loans....

  2. Use some class/compassion

    whoknows56 replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    sure does take a while to say that word. i always get a kick out of myself when i type "delte" instead of "delete." i always do that,

  3. Use some class/compassion

    whoknows56 replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There are very few things that **** me off and threads like this is one of them. It blows my mind how some people get affended by a few written words on a Internet forum. The OP is one of the people I...

  4. Use some class/compassion

    whoknows56 replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    FYI, "alot" isn't a word. There's no word such as "alot." You spell it a lot. For example, "that is a lot of weight." Now compare that to, "that is alot of

  5. Use some class/compassion

    whoknows56 replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh please. If you want a discussion that doesn't involve ******* another person off, doesn't involve conflicts of opinion, go talk to a priest. What are you going to do the first time a co-worker...

  6. Anyone ever been recognized on AN ?

    whoknows56 replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it is best just to leave it as is...co-workers going to the web to talk about stuff and/or to vent...or even just to ask questions. As long as no laws are borken on this forum, I just leave...

  7. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    whoknows56 replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Once you are out of school and have graduated, it is time to leave the "hate/dislike" of that and that from school behind and move on. Just give a positive tone to

  8. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    whoknows56 replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    When I have a job interview and if I didn't like the person that interviewed me, or I got a bad feeling about the place, I don't even bother checking in on the position or even sending a thank you...

  9. Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    whoknows56 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Education debt is just debt. You will get it paid off as long as you make it a focus of your expenses. Sure the ADNs will make as much as you, but there is more to it. You got the chance to experience...

  10. Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    whoknows56 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read the responses, so I might repeat what others may have said. Don't look at just salaries for the following reasons: 1: Nursing has more upside in career potential 2: Teachers teach the...

  11. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    whoknows56 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Where my parents live, a small rural area in Wisconsin, most nurses become nurses so they can get a decent job. Most people already know each other even before going to nursing school. It's the...

  12. Are You Popular At Work?

    whoknows56 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I get along with everyone since I don't ***** about stuff. I've learned my lessons in past jobs. When I graduated high school, I got a job transporting patients....I was going to college at the same...

  13. Difficulty of Nursing Classes Vs. Biochemistry

    whoknows56 replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    I took a pathology and pharm class that is focused towards nursing students. The classes were as easy as heck...nothing like med school level. I took organic chemistry and biochemistry and those...

  14. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    whoknows56 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No need to say a person is being reckless like on this forum. I know some people what loved their major of choice until their senior year (people can change). So they were stuck in school for two more...

  15. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    whoknows56 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The average med school debt these days is around $170k. It's only going to get worse as tuition keeps going up and up. Some med schools charge $80,000 a year just on tuition. That's a complete rip...

  16. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    whoknows56 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It can add up fast. Freshman year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Soph year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Junior year: $5,500 has to be paid back (FAFSA stuff) Senior year:...

  17. New Grad??

    whoknows56 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much. I would also add, forgetting everything you learned in college and now you know what really matters at your job and have realized how pointless most college courses are. Also, when you...

  18. Bordeline illegal interviewing process hospitals are getting away with n this economy

    whoknows56 replied to NEWGRADNURSE75's topic in General Nursing

    I always hate it when the first question you are asked is, "please describe yourself." I hate starting an interview like that because I know they are looking for an exact type of experience and if I...

  19. Bordeline illegal interviewing process hospitals are getting away with n this economy

    whoknows56 replied to NEWGRADNURSE75's topic in General Nursing

    It does suck right now but it won't last. Soon employers will be bagging for nurses again. Once people get back to work and more people have access and coverage for health care, there will be a demand...

    whoknows56 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    If I didn't need a consistent paycheck, I would work at developing a college football game to compete against EA Sports. But I'm not rich and nobody in my family is rich. So I need to make money to...

  22. Who hates nursing, honestly????

    whoknows56 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing
