  1. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    It's understandable to wish you had spent less on college, but there's something wrong with thinking that any additional education is

  2. How important is statistics in nursing and nursing school?

    GM2RN replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    I have to add my vote to these to comments. An understanding of statistics and how ethical, unbiased research should be conducted is essential to EBP. Without it, you will be lead by the nose...

  4. Do men really have a better shot at finding a job?

    GM2RN replied to mcpheenom's topic in Men in Nursing

    LOL good. It's strange how many people decide to just pick up and move without securing a job

  5. What scares you most as a rn?

    GM2RN replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing of Carmen Electra. But I do know plenty of educated people, including doctors and nurses, who don't vaccinate their

  6. What do you think of nurses who can't spell medical terms?

    GM2RN replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Ever heard this little rhyme? i before e, Except after c, Or when sounded as "a," As in neighbour and

  7. Do men really have a better shot at finding a job?

    GM2RN replied to mcpheenom's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe this is obvious, but just in case it's not, make sure you have a job lined up before actually moving

  10. HELP! Taking Chemistry-103 at PCCC for UMDNJ

    GM2RN replied to nonenonenone18's topic in General Nursing

    This is common. Sorry, but if the college won't give you a definitive answer, no one here will be able to. You will either have to play their game and apply to have your courses evaluated, or find...

  11. HELP! Taking Chemistry-103 at PCCC for UMDNJ

    GM2RN replied to nonenonenone18's topic in General Nursing

    Even if someone here were able to give you a definitive answer, which isn't likely, you would need to get it from them (UMDNJ) in writing in case their policy changes after you take the

  12. Used as a job reference.

    GM2RN replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's ok to decline to provide a good reference, but I disagree that you would say your name was provided in error, which is not likely to be true. I also think it's not the best choice. Edit:...

  13. IV and Med HElp

    GM2RN replied to peaceful nurse's topic in General Nursing

    exactly! when every minute counts in time management, the effort spent to remove every single bubble is a waste. better to know when it matters to be so precise, but this isn't

  14. IV and Med HElp

    GM2RN replied to peaceful nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should do what you can, within reason, to ensure no bubbles, but try as you might, you will NEVER prevent them

  15. How strict are employers in screening people with "1 year RN experience?"

    GM2RN replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, not odd at all. They may not ask hours, but I have see postings that specify employment must have been FT. Even if they don't state this, they DO consider whether employment has been FT, PT,...

  16. ER nurse to patient ratio

    GM2RN replied to MGHERRN's topic in Emergency

    Easy for you to say! If you have ratio that high in the ED, what makes you think it's any better in another unit??? Besides, I absolutely hate working anywhere but the ED and would never work...

  18. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Fair enough. You didn't quote anyone in your last post but it did seem directed to me since it followed so closely to the one of yours that I responded

  19. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I've responded to a few of yours, so I'm not sure which one you

  20. Stupidest comlaint of the night award...

    GM2RN replied to JDougRN's topic in Emergency

    Creative guess. Had someone recently ask me if GM was for general manager of a sports team. I actually used to work for general

  21. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    LOL very funny. If you'd really paid attention to what I wrote, you'd have understood that I wasn't advocating for one program or the other. I was pointing out inconsistencies and bad attitudes....

  22. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    What you say may all be true and have some relevance to other parts of this thread, but has nothing whatsoever to do with bad attitudes or behavior. It's just an

  23. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I would say that it all depends on which threads you are reading. Some that I have followed have mostly ADNs posting, and their attitudes can be just as bad as some

  24. Stupidest comlaint of the night award...

    GM2RN replied to JDougRN's topic in Emergency

    Oh wow! I had a young female come in the other night with the EXACT SAME complaint! At least she had the sense not to come by ambulance

  25. Community College? You must be stupid.

    GM2RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I've never had the experience of any BSN flaunting a degree in the workplace. I have only seen it on a BB. But even threads that I have followed where the discussion has been professional and...
