    eroc replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

  3. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, trust me your not the only person to be told they are worthless a thousand times…i understand. We are emotional human beings and built exactly as you describe. Our memories dictate our...

  4. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to point out that the OP started this thread based on racial bias thinking the color of her skin would hurt her chances of getting into a school. Yet, it is the opposite. Despite her being,...

  5. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think your getting my posts. Maybe re-read them to discover I stated your last sentence. Along with more complex thinking beyond the surface. The question of being a minority versus a...

  6. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually read the research you are referring to a few weeks ago…no need. The system of our government and free enterprise business, not overseen by the government, are not one in the same. My...

  7. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So Jamal is a "Black" name? Could it be a "White" name? Research, huh? Yes, the race majority of any culture will favor the majority of that culture. The "system" does not favor white people. Quite...

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    eroc replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am white and my daughter lists herself as white. When she was in the 3rd grade she was tested for the gifted program..she missed the cut off by 2 points (cut-off is Genius at 130). Having a friend...

  10. BMI? reliable or just a short cut?

    eroc replied to nealiiih's topic in General Nursing

    At 5'9" I have been 220lbs @ 6% BF Shredded. (BMI obese) And up to 265 @ 13% BF could still see all the lines of my Abs (BMI Severely obese) People look a numbers and try to simplify...

    eroc replied to jtmarcy12's topic in General Nursing

    I have/do. My wife is half filipino and after 20+ years still have to ask my mother-in-law to repeat her words constantly. And roughly about 3/4 of the filipinos I have worked with are understandable....

  12. COPDer de-satting? What do you do?

    eroc replied to Krazziekid78's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad most people don't know the difference between hospice and

  13. Cost of your RN degree??

    eroc replied to SML456's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are correct it is a ADN. I was just pointing out my four year degree was half the cost. My ASN cost my just over $11K 2 years ago. I went to a private school for my ASN and know how much many...

  14. Cost of your RN degree??

    eroc replied to SML456's topic in General Nursing

    Spend just over $20,000 to get all the way through to my BSN. Yep, way too

  15. Florida RN Salaries

    eroc replied to whd13b's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals give $1/hr for BSN, and an Additional $1/hr for certification (CCRN, PCCN, BC) in NE FL. $26-28 base (ADN alone) is about top pay for a 5 year nurse. And most require a commitment to...

  16. Moving to Florida

    eroc replied to jcsinging's topic in General Nursing

    I have only met 1 LPN that worked in a small rural hospital in my region NE florida…and she had worked there for 20 years. ASN's are not even favored

  17. BSN- worth the extra time for little extra salary?

    eroc replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's what I did. (ASN-BSN) I got a job with my ASN quickly, and finished my BSN in 16 months, taking a term off in between degrees. Yes, it's worth it, and it is more finically responsible IMO. You...

  18. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    eroc replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    Become an Echo tech…they start out making more than a nurse. I like my job, and would find another career if I had to work in

  19. Is Nursing All About Stress?

    eroc replied to Jerome Stone RN's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, I should have stated chronic stress is self-inflicted and specified not all stress can be avoided. And I agree people do things unconsciously, yet I believe through will power and understanding...

  20. Is Nursing All About Stress?

    eroc replied to Jerome Stone RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your post completely. I often wonder what types of lives most nurses have lived before choosing this career. For me I am new only being a nurse for two short years, but my past careers...

  21. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    eroc replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am all for EMT-P having the full responsibility of the pt. in the ED. Because most do not understand there is more past stabilization through use of set protocols, in my experience. (I am sure...

  22. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    eroc replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    You have my respect. This thread shows just how uneducated many "educated" nurses are. Without out the men and women in your line of work the entire country would shut down. I get embarrassed by the...

  23. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    eroc replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    I think it can depend greatly on where you work also. High flow critical care areas seem to triumph any memories of nursing

  24. If the percent of men in nursing was 9.6% in 2011. What you think it is now?

    eroc replied to futurern_.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    It is probably much higher related to new graduates, but because of the many years of nursing being female dominated it will take a good amount of time before the overall % changes too

  25. Nurses: Social Life? What's a Social Life?

    eroc replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know…maybe have one during the other 4 days a week I don't
