This is being posted for anybody that is considering the Bevill State Nursing program. I have heard lots of good things about the program from students that were there in the past. This is being posted as an up to date status on the program. In the p...

...and here is a problem I see. The first person that accused you of something you didn't see as true about yourself you became defensive. That happens quite often in the workplace. Most people know what is expected of them at work and they already k...

My 12 hour shift begins at 0630 and ends at 1900. I have been able to leave my area to eat less times than I have had to eat at the desk or not eat at all. If I do not get to leave for lunch I get to clock out with no lunch, which pays me an extra 1/...

About the cheapest place to get immunizations will be the Health Dept downtown. I had to get a couple of mine there.

From what I read birth control pills are not covered by insurance in AZ. With the proper documentation they will be covered for endometriosis and such only, not for birth control.

I cannot find a a single reputable news agency that has covered this. Not even CNN or MSNBC. If it were true they would be all over it. Also addictinginfo.org is such a reputable site they refuse to post who their writers are. Anyone in the health c...

Realistically in this day and age do you see a new ADN becoming a DON? You did not tell how long it took you to reach that position, how many years of nursing experience you had. You also did not say if it is in a hospital, a Nursing Home, or a Home ...

Nobody gets "canned" for using contraception. They just don't provide it. On the other hand I have never heard of an ins company paying for condoms either.

I think the contraception thing is they knew when they started that Catholic Hospitals don't pay for birth control. I am a firm believer in the seperation of Church and State. Keep the Church out of the Gov't and keep the Gov't out of the Church. B...

I do not smoke, therefore I don't have a dog in this hunt, but smokers have been considered outcasts for years. I am not aware of the gov't regulating birth control.

I see your logic even if I don't agree with it completely. I don't see how someone that you, a patient, have contact with for a few hours, a nurse, can be considered a role model.

Several years ago the Coca Cola Co. here started testing for nicotine. If you came up positive you were fired. A law-suit ensued and the company won because they were able to prove that health care costs of smokers was much higher than non smokers, c...

A high school guidance counselor gave me some great advice, that I did not follow unfortunately.... Ignore how you feel about a job at the present and decide where you want to be in 10 yrs, 15 yrs, and 20 yrs. In most jobs the first year or two are p...

In my area you are not allowed to work under your education. An RN cannot work as an LPN or CNA and an LPN cannot work as a CNA. I was told this is due to they do not want someone that is working as a CNA, but holds an RN Lic. to do something outside...

You did not mention if you are in an ADN or BSN program. I will assume you are in a BSN program because your Pell Grant should cover your costs for Summer term. You can get a student loan to cover the Summer. The Navy program is very hard to get into...

A close friend of mine got her MSN in Community Health. She said that degree gave her the most career choices. It qualified her to hold a Nurse Manager's position (which she does), a Nurse Educator, and others.

One program I have looked at, UAB, has the RN-BSN-MSN program. I compared this program the the AMNP program which completes the BSN in 3 semester, 1 year. The AMNP program is very intense working on the BSN. It is ~17 hrs a semester on campus. The RN...

Many things come into play. Most areas do not have a nursing shortage. Just look at hospital websites. Most post a few RN jobs. Think about the number of jobs posted in a month, multiply that number by 12 months, then think about all of the schools t...

A word of caution.... Do not let the first semester fool you. First semester is by far the easiest semester in nursing.

That does not sound too bad. Do you know if any of the 87 starting this Spring are readmits or LPN's bridging in?

Yep, I am a nurse. Once again you DID NOT DISPUTE ANYTHING I SAID WITH FACTS, only your biased opinion. Perhaps it is because you have none. Maybe you missed what Al Gore or other left-wing nut-jobs said. I have no problem caring for my patients. Ev...

You need to put the crack pipe down. I have not insulted anyone. Is my opinion biased? Probably, because I have lived long enough to know everyone can not be saved from themselves. I noticed you did not dispute anything I said with facts, only your ...

Don't be silly. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that some unions do provide healthcare for their members. You would also know that as many as 50 different unions have been granted one year waivers so their members would not be ...

Not sure who your garbled rant was directed toward but if you were asking about MY time in Iraq I was not a $100K a year civilian worker. I was a lowly Navy Seabee, and yes we got an extra $150 a MONTH for being in an imminent Danger Pay Area (Combat...

Also all of the big unions getting waivers does not sit well with people. If it is such a grand plan that the unions were backing why did they feel the need to be exempted? I also don't believe there is a fix for our health care system that would sat...
