  1. How and when did you get your first ICU job? Personally,

    piper_for_hire replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm confused - why do you have to apply for student RN positions?? Doesn't your school just place you somewhere for clinicals?

  2. any problems taking classes?

    piper_for_hire posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll be graduating with my BSN next year and I'd like to start taking some classes as soon as I feel somewhat settled. The school that I'm interested in wants me to apply now, but I have no idea how...

  3. What does your post name reflect about you?

    piper_for_hire replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    People actually hire me to play the bagpipes and I do parades too.

  4. Low Down on Nursing Education

    piper_for_hire replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I must say that I find this "if you're not in nursing because of a 'calling' then you can't be a good nurse" attitude a bit disturbing. The implication that people can only be good at what you do due...

  5. Male nursing students/nurses

    piper_for_hire replied to krebs.cycle's topic in General Nursing

    yeah - and they really pull of wearing those pink scrubs. lol! I hope I look that good in pink scrubs.

  6. what are "the sciences"

    piper_for_hire posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So what exactly are "the sciences" and should I retake them if my old grades were low? Here's my situation: I got a non-nursing degree about 11 years ago and it included a 2.0 GPA for chemistry and...

  7. Male nursing students/nurses

    piper_for_hire replied to krebs.cycle's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a nursing student that has a XY chromosome. Can you explain what you mean by "the necessity of describing one's feelings for a good grade."? Are you saying that you've aced a class, but...

  8. Gre

    piper_for_hire replied to TLC RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How do you know that most schools use the higest or the average? How did you get this information?

  9. what are "the sciences"

    piper_for_hire replied to piper_for_hire's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    sorry about that - I got some bad news this morning and I was a little snippy. however, I still found his response extremely condescending and completely orthogonal to my question in the first place....

  10. what are "the sciences"

    piper_for_hire replied to piper_for_hire's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'll take that as a very insulting "yes", as it was clearly intended.

  11. Drexel Univ ACE Program

    piper_for_hire replied to Kristy01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Me too! I start in March. I hear we'll all be spending so much time together that we'll be like family. You can pick your friends .... you can pick your enemies .... :-)

  12. Why Is There A Shortage?

    piper_for_hire replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Are there any more you can think of? I intend to get a master's degree after I finish up my BSN next year and I'm excited to see what all of the options are besides Nurse Practitioner, which...

  13. Why Is There A Shortage?

    piper_for_hire replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    Yes - I would like to hear what the alternatives are too.

  14. does everyone really hate nursing?

    piper_for_hire posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just reading about nursing on aboutmyjob.com and it seems that everyone hates to be a nurse and that it is a horrible profession, etc. etc. About 99% of the posts were very negative. As a...

  15. The Death Knell of Nursing?!

    piper_for_hire replied to Joe Hill's topic in General Nursing

    Even if, by some miracle, they could get a robot to work in something resembling a reliable fashion, the robot is one lawsuit away from being history.

  16. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

    piper_for_hire replied to MJB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm another CRNA hopeful and I had a similar plan at first. After a while, you will come to realize that you need to tackle one thing at a time and learn to be good (or great) at what you do along the...

  17. what is mandatory overtime exactly?

    piper_for_hire posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been seeing much discussion concerning mandatory overtime, but I really don't understand what it is. From what I gather, it seems to be the situation where you're done with your shift, but there...

  18. Why Is There A Shortage?

    piper_for_hire replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    These kind of reports are all bunk. You can still find reports that there is a shortage of technology people and then pick up a newspaper and read about one million unemployed technology people.

  19. MCP Closing

    piper_for_hire replied to bonjovigirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm also a student at Drexel. The funny thing is that everyone I know is planning to work for Tenet after graduation. They seem to have the best jobs in the Philadelphia area.
