    Hodge replied to cnpta's topic in General Nursing

  8. sexuality growth and development presentation...just a question

    Hodge replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. Groped on the job...

    Hodge replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    Unfortunately, it does come down to his word against yours. If you were a women and he did the same thing, the situation would have been handled the same way. Bottom line is you did what you needed...

  14. Excelsior College and CRNA

    Hodge replied to deannicholas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The fact the Excelsior has these problems and that it is not limited to one state should raise a red flag. Private online college degrees (and this does not apply just to nursing) are often looked at...

  15. Just started, and found out Im pregnant?!

    Hodge replied to iwannabeaLVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would hope that nursing, with the dominance of women in its ranks, would view pregnency differently than corporate America does (my significant other is a family lawyer). Unfortunatley, when it...
