  1. Wichita Nursing Job Market (Critical Care)

    I can speak only as an upcoming nursing graduate, but landing the first job is becoming quite difficult in this area. We are saturated with nursing programs and many new grads are having a difficult...
  2. Another Rant on Obesity and Children

    I think it is a cultural issue. A friend of mine just returned from France and the first thing he noticed when he arrived at the airport was how overweight the majority of our population is. Just...
  3. When did you decide nursing was for you?

    When my twins were born, I was in awe at how the nurse took control of the room. I was clueless about what my role was. I don't want to do labor and delivery, but I want my job to matter that
  4. New grad men to the ICU

    I am hoping to land an ICU role as well and from what I have heard you better know somebody. All the guys ahead of me in my program do seem to be able to land one though. That's
  5. How is there a shortage?

    I hear there is always a nursing shortage partly because hospitals won't hire the proper amount of RN's to begin with. Also, part of nursing school now is networking and looking for your first job...
  6. Tattoos and nursing

    Tattoos are fine if you are willing to accept potential consequences of getting them. As long as you realize it may limit your ability to move into management or to work at certain facilities go...

    I am 32. I have twin 2 year old girls and had been working as an accountant for the last 5 years (the last of those paying $61,000). I was laid off, and although I had decent prospects, I decided I...
  12. Overtime?

    We use a graduated tax system, so I am referring to to the top rate being 100% not a flat tax rate of 100%. And I am only appying it to the last $150,000 since the previous posts made the remark that...
  13. Overtime?

    I am not sure why everybody keeps saying that $300,000 will be equivalent to $150,000. I don't know of a 100% tax bracket. Even if you you are in the top tax bracket you will still bring home well...
  14. Overtime?

    Not sure why so many people think money as a motivation means you will be inadequate at your job. If you don't have the skills or grades you won't get through the program anyway. How many people...
