  1. Eating Boogers??? Is this for real?

    bukko replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Any legitimate hospital will not change its policy until there is a scientific basis to do so. Therefore, the challenge is to design parameters for a double-blind study proving the immunological...

  2. Eating Boogers??? Is this for real?

    bukko replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Some cultures also believe it's wise to drink a little of your own urine. The name Moraji Desai (the first post-Indira Gandhi Prime Minister of India) became forever stuck in my brain because news...

  3. Help... L.V.N.? R.N.?

    bukko replied to tyk80's topic in California Nursing

    I have a different opinion on LVN vs. RN. I had no medical background when I switched careers into nursing. I chose an LPN course (different state, different title) because I could finish in one year....

  4. Question: Unions

    bukko replied to Town & Country's topic in California Nursing

    Why would anyone not want to be in a union? My dues cost $52 a month, but that's a drop in the bucket (approx. 90 minutes' pay) compared to total salary. Because of the union, my hospital in S.F. got...

  5. English nurses recruited for California?

    bukko replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    House prices ARE insane. Our place in San Fran cost exactly 10 times as much as the house I sold in Florida. My wife and I were looking for something that only cost half a million dollars, but wound...

    bukko replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    My motivation was unemployment. I had a good-paying job as a newspaper reporter in Florida until the Tampa Tribune decided to close my bureau during the recession we had the first time our country was...

  7. English nurses recruited for California?

    bukko replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a hospital in San Francisco that pays well and has pleasant working conditions. (I've worked at enough miserable hospitals to know the difference.) Our management recently recruited a slew...

  8. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    bukko replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse who started working in Florida and moved to California, I second the statements about wage differences. Made $19.57/hr base as a tele unit RN on the Gulf Coast, and $33.07 base in an...

  9. university of phoenix

    bukko replied to treddrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've read the positive posts here about UoP, and that's reassuring. I had a cousin who got her MS online, and she loved the program. I have one question no one has answered, though -- do employers...

  10. watching my pt. die

    bukko replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a score of patients die during my nursing career, including several on hospice assignments. Many of them were mentally ready for death. People get worn down by the struggle of years of ill...

  11. Music from OZ

    bukko replied to Coldfoot's topic in International Nursing

    Aussie music rules! (Although Finland still has more great garage bands per capita...) I'm looking forward to seeing the reformed Hoodoo Gurus. Are nurses in Oz rockers, or as stodgy as the ones in...
