    UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    metal_m0nk replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    As a former driver/clerk/service manager for FedEx, I'd have to say that, yeah, the 76k thing is a little far fetched. The reason I say that is because the chief difference between a FedEx driver and...

    Those that prefer to work with men

    metal_m0nk replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly this in my experience. And no one gets all bent out of shape by the silence or feels the need to fill

    Those that prefer to work with men

    metal_m0nk replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    2nd bachelor's degree accelerated nursing

    metal_m0nk replied to dlammons7076's topic in General Nursing

    I too am a second degree student, although I am going for an AA rather than a BSN at this time. I also went to a private college (30k+/year) for the first half of my B.Sc. Fortunately, a good portion...

    Student Loan Reform

    metal_m0nk replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In a culture so accustomed to instant gratification that most among us have come to demand and expect it, some of the views here do not surprise me. In reality, most of us will have to wait and see...

    metal_m0nk replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Heh...If I did go into law, I'd most likely want to practice in the area of advocacy - my area of interest (in nursing as well) is women and children. So I probably wouldn't be making much anyway. I...

    In answer to your questions: 1. Perhaps asking if you're okay is their way of asking if you need some assistance or if they can clear something up for you that you may be confused about. Loosen up on...

    Mobbing support - threats, hostile work environment

    metal_m0nk replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Algebra is definitely a tough subject for a lot of folks. It's kind of that bridge between the tangible concepts of basic math (we can visualize addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and...

    Spouse Turning Nonsupportive During NP School

    metal_m0nk replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    Fixed your quote. In answer to your question, it has been since some men have neglected to man up and provide for their families (as is the OP's situation). It has been since some men have abandoned...

    metal_m0nk replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have been incredibly fortunate. You have been gainfully employed since you left high school. The majority of us have to earn credentials in order to be so gainfully employed because we don't have...

    Didn't see your response to elkpark, as I was writing a response when it was posted. I see it now. I now understand why you are opposed to healthcare reform. It can be difficult for people who have...

    It's not a personal attack. You asserted 1) That you don't take "hand outs" and 2) That you don't believe HCR could possibly benefit you personally (and insinuated that you are one of many in this...

    No worries. I don't feel judged. I know enough to know that you don't determine my worth, so I'm not bothered by your opinion of me. I am also divorced, but don't receive child support with enough...

    I have no real interest in your personal situation. In all honesty, I have a difficult time believing some of what you've said here. If you're going to use your personal circumstances as a...
