I was very concerned that my wife and all the other women who work in healthcare are being discriminated against and that I may be getting more than my fair share, so I went here Oregon Nurses Association to make sure...nope, nothing about men vs wom...

Gross income is the total amount of pay you receive before taxes and expenses, salary is a fixed pay for a year regardless of hours worked. A person who has a salary of $50,000 per year has a gross income of $50,000, an hourly employee who makes $...

I'm not really sure what your point is, however I think we agree on why some women make less pay than their male counterparts, as you stated, females tend to be the caregivers and are often stay at home moms so they make less money either hourly or a...

As posted earlier, open it up to other departments, but keep the tasks to mainly support, I have no interest in "Mother/Baby" however I would be up for the opportunity to improve my skills and knowledge by putting in a few shifts on that unit, keep t...

How long are we going to keep beating this horse? I just posted this in the other thread. Men tend to make more money based upon the hours they work, both amount and time of day, as well as being willing to leave one job for a better paying one, wo...

Regarding gender pay differences. Men tend to make more money based upon the hours they work, both amount and time of day, as well as being willing to leave one job for a better paying one, women tend to work fewer hours and will stay in a job they l...

Document, document, document. I doubt that she's a RN, if she was she'd be much more pleasant and less abusive and also more understanding. My guess is that she's a junkie or selling the narcs, but by telling you she's a nurse she can outrank you and...

I found some all white Nike shoes, my NS instructor even asked where I found them. Now that I'm working I swear by Merrell Jungle Moc Pro Grip, all black (or brown) about 100 bucks, my current pair is over three years old and still great shape and ju...

Y'all realize this thread is 5 years old right?

This is from the Iowa Board of Nursing: Q. Can an individual with a criminal conviction become licensed? A. In order for an individual to become licensed in Iowa, they must first graduate from a state board approved nursing program, at which tim...

Like tejas said, check with your advisor. My school also has a limit on retaking classes, also you can not take a class for a better grade, if you passed with a C you can not re-take and use the B or A from the re-take. If you fail you can re-take ...

I'm not going to mention the first thing that popped into my mind (wink) I start with patting myself on my back, then I brag to my wife, then maybe some ice cream and cake.

I consider myself a "Floor Whore" I pimp myself out to any Nurse or Aide who needs help, I literally walk the floor asking/telling Nurses that I'm available and to let me know if I can help in any way. We have a Procedure Sheet that we log all of ou...

I'm sorry to hear about you and your SO, school can be stressful due to the demands of your time not to mention the work involved with studying and homework. Some spouses may feel a bit neglected or that it's taking too long. Based upon your post t...

Stop over-thinking it, I sit at the kitchen table with my books and assignments, my computer is on because I often need to jump on to do some quick research, yes it can be a temptation to do a little recreational surfing (like I'm doing now) but that...

I've had no issues with either my age nor my gender, if anything I think my instructors like the fact that there are some older students in the room (not just me either) we tend to bring a level of maturity and seriousness to our studies. As for bei...

I'm in IA as well, I graduated the PN program in August and just passed my boards, I expect to start the ADN program in January, FWIW I'm 49, not the oldest person in my class, close but not quite.

My biggest challenge was just getting back into the swing of school again, I had poor study habits the last time (25 years ago) but with maturity and motivation and a focus of what I wanted to do with my life things became less of a personal challeng...

2 men, 60 women, I got half and he got the other half in his section. We're both straight, I was accepted by a great group of women as study partners and clinical buddy. I was exposed to some of the raunchiest, crudest and most hilarious conversati...

Well, this Nursing student also changed his major, then changed it again, and again...When I decided on NS my local CC asked for my transcripts, (from my previous school) I told them they might not be as good as I liked but I was now a more serious s...

We had to take CPR for Healthcare Providers, on-line was not accepted.

So, you're stuck on a problem or chapter and you've been up for 25 hours. At first I thought I was reading the lyrics to a song but then I realized they didn't rhyme. Is it a problem or an entire chapter? Why not post it here and we can offer some...

You didn't mention if your school has any kind of wait list but if it was me (and it was) I'd drop the CD class and take that in the summer. Focus your studies on the other 3 and get good grades. It sounds like it's been a while since you were in s...

You overcome nervousness the same way that you get to Carnegie Hall, "practice man, practice." or as someone else posted "fake it 'till you make it" OK, how about this then, know everything about your patient and practice what you need to do wit...
