  1. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    SilentMind replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your boyfriend is really a secondary issue here. While important, there's no sense in going through the trouble to even try resolving it if this may be something you want no part in personally....

  2. Is This Discrimination?

    SilentMind replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, taking it without the assistance of your glasses isn't either. If the DON wears glasses, I'm willing to wager it's not a huge problem. Like I said earlier, I'd save the discrimination route...

  3. Is This Discrimination?

    SilentMind replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    This probably would have been a good thing to discuss with your employer when they brought it up. They may very well have reasons for not allowing glasses that don't come to mind right now. It would...

  4. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    SilentMind replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not necessarily sexual desire, as she mentioned in another reply. But the fear that she'll become desensitized to them in general. That having to deal with them all day at work will affect her...

  5. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    SilentMind replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This "behavior" is him confiding in his long term girlfriend about the doubts and insecurities he has about this potential change. Probably, due to the fact that he doesn't fully understand the...

  6. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    SilentMind replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Doesn't make it any less sexist. There's absolutely nothing in this thread to even hint at domestic abuse. That goes both ways. Women are just as capable of it as men are, and I'd wager that any man...

  7. With all the competitiveness is it worth it?

    SilentMind replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats ridiculous. 3.85 is practically flawless? What does that translate to...one B in a lab class somewhere? As far as I know, LVN isn't as competitive. But that could just be my

  8. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    SilentMind replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's nothing wrong with him being a little apprehensive about you doing something new. Naturally, this change is going to affect both of your lives and possibly the dynamics involved. But I...

  9. Broward College approved to offer BSN's

    SilentMind replied to GabbsRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    There's plenty of them out there. Broward college isn't somehow more accessible because its an ex-community college. The difference in tuition is something like 10 dollars a credit between broward...

    SilentMind replied to GabbsRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    More programs

  11. Broward College approved to offer BSN's

    SilentMind replied to GabbsRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, that makes sense. I forgot about the difference in the course levels. Even though I imagine the basics would largely be the same. Anyways, thank you for laying it out for me. It'll give me...

  12. Broward College approved to offer BSN's

    SilentMind replied to GabbsRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm curious as to whether I can start in the ASN program and then transfer into the BSN program when it gets set up. I assume a large portion of the classes are the same, with a few credits here and...

  13. Pa hospital system won't hire smokers

    SilentMind replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    And how is radiation, asbestos, and any other cause the least bit pertinent to this thread? It doesn't make smoking any

    SilentMind replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    You don't think smoking causes cancer... Are you seriously a medical professional? Or do you just play one on the

  15. Speaking of facebook...inappropriate...but am I within my rights...?

    SilentMind replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    I've had a few requests from managers in the past. I neither confirm nor deny them, and if they ever ask...I just say I rarely check it. Which is mostly

  16. Speaking of facebook...inappropriate...but am I within my rights...?

    SilentMind replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    While I applaud your efforts to take this dialogue to the next level, as far as personal attacks, I've never belittled anyone in this thread. I've simply put forth my own opinion and clearly stated...

    You're honestly going to have to be a little more specific in order for me to provide you with an

    You don't think very highly of humans, do

  19. Help me ...please...dont just walk away

    SilentMind replied to gomlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2.0 isn't going to get you into anything, sadly. In my area, the minimum requirement is 2.5 to apply. For acceptance, it's something like 3.2, 3.3. You're english still needs a little work, but it's...

  20. Are there any online A&P courses that are accelerated?

    SilentMind replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not really. You have to pair A+P I with lab to register for either. So if your goal is to avoid campus, it's not going to work. For the lab, you need to be there physically. Since you have to be there...

  21. Expelled once at previous institution...chances for nursing school?

    SilentMind replied to neareast's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's nice to know there are some universities that actually take it seriously. At my campus, one of my professors had video of one of his students breaking into his office and stealing the exam...

    I don't see how being friends with them makes you less impartial then loving

  23. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    So even state schools are out of the question? Anyways, I was looking it up online. There are ways to petition to have classes removed. It's probably not a simple process, but if you present it at...

  24. Speaking of facebook...inappropriate...but am I within my rights...?

    SilentMind replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't think this is the least bit unique to patients. Can you really sit here and tell me you've never had a non-patient friend try to pull that trick to try to get something out of you?...
