    mingez replied to mingez's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've only had one interview thus far, that's at NVMHI. I really liked it first impression. The acuity vs. staffing seems good, and as I said above, the staff really seems to like working there. I...

    nobody said "being rich gets you into med school." sure it's hard work, but it's a hell of a lot easier when one comes from money...you can't deny that. when one is pre-med, not having to do...

  10. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    mingez replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The whole "Couldn't get in to med school" angle is such complete hogwash. Most doctors I know had rich Daddies that had deep pockets. It's real easy to get in to med school when one doesn't have to...

  11. Interested in chemical dep.nursing

    mingez replied to ivorylovecali's topic in Addictions

    Complete your program. I don't believe the program you're speaking of is a cert for nursing. There is a society (much like there is for every specialty) that offers certs in addictions nursing:...

    mingez replied to mingez's topic in General Nursing

    Oh..... CA= Care Assistant. Yeah, she was talking about a position at the family practice office she works at. So, it's the same as a CNA? Why the difference in the

  16. Stupid question...

    mingez posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is a CA? I am a mere new grad nurse, and in a conversation I spoke to someone about a girl in her unit that was a "CA". What's that stand

  17. More Male Nurses

    mingez replied to doubleplay's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, I'm about to get my RN, but I've been an LPN for 2 years, and I have to say absolutely YES. The positives very much (for me) out weigh the negatives! Don't be scared off, when you give a large...

  23. Moving to Albuquerque

    mingez replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with the "Mountains are not as nice as the ones in CO" comment. (I know, to each his own) I live in CO, and grew up in NM. I went to High School in Albuquerque, and got my first...
