  1. For Those Considering Online Science Classes...

    fotografe replied to bullcityrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry they wouldn't accept them -- good thing you checked! I took all of my sciences online. The A & P labs were virtual, Chem was part virtual and part hands on and Micro was hands on. I found...

  2. Travel Nurse Dubai/uae - Advice Please

    fotografe replied to nursejules26's topic in General World

    What are American nurses being offered? I did the conversion and 10,000 per month is not anywhere near what a nurse in the US would make. Even 20,000 is just about the going rate in my area of the...

  3. Application Q "Do you work?"

    fotografe replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, tough call on how to answer. It may be a weed out question. I would think carefully about the number you put in there. I did work full time my first semester and it was tough. I was very sleep...

  4. A&P without biology?

    fotografe replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it without having General Bio. Your school may require it. Be sure to ask. If they do, they may allow you to take it at the same time if you petition. I did not find it hard to do A &...

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

  7. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    fotografe replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    Breastfeeding -- to do or not and for how long -- are very personal decisions. I BF my first child until 2 years 9 months -- and only stopped because I was preg w/ #2 and milk disappeared. I BF #2...

  8. Quitting a six figure job to become a nurse...am I nuts

    fotografe replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Changing Careers at 29 - Am I Crazy?

    fotografe replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Evil People

    fotografe replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    I was surprised to learn not to long ago that in most states it is not illegal for someone under 21 to drink. It is illegal for them to purchase alcohol. Weird isn't

  15. Threats from Management

    fotografe replied to kittyrose's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would hope they pay you overtime from coming in on your day off! If they don't like that idea, then scheduling multiple meetings so everyone is covered on a working day would seem

  16. Anyone heard of this school?

    fotografe replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    MCPHS has a pretty good reputation, but as with all schools, it seems the administrative support offices (fin aid, registrar, etc) have some problems. A lot of people I have talked with complained...

    fotografe replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    In my first semester, and yes, we were told to check the underside of surgical patients. Gravity pulls blood down, so bleeding may be most evident on the UNDERSIDE of the patient as it pools in...

  20. Would you have a child because you thought you would regret it later on if you didn't

    fotografe replied to smack050505's topic in General Nursing

    "Better" is relative. Your personal experience was "better" for you, but not necessarily for everyone else. I don't think you can make a very good judgement on what kind of a parent someone will be...

  21. Online Science Courses

    fotografe replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Some courses are open notebook. For you to look up all your info to check your answers -- well darn near impossible especially with Chem. The tests are on a timer from the time you sign in, so when...

    fotografe replied to splunking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was in art school, most of my assignments were presented as "problems", and we set out to solve those problems by thinking linearly, as well as in a web like fashion. It struck me that in...
