  1. EC to UTA?

    UTA is ranked! I rest my case
  2. RN to BSN PMI

    Pass on that offer! It's free yes, but what happens if they don't get certified? Take a cheap school that is certified, UTA seems to fit the bill for most. Don't take a meaningless risk. Goodluck.
  3. Dreadlocks

    Here we are in 2015, and as much as we all agree that this question might repeat itself over and over, it's in essence a comparison of the nursing environment then( could be last year and the years before) and now- 2015. So the question is, how is dr...
  4. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Why do some of us think nursing is such a noble professional not to be awarded second chance? Why is it that nursing does not condone err is to human? Pathetic to say the least. If they committed murder, dd their time, it's a mute point if BON awarde...
  5. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    Lol. Caught up in the Generation Y lingo. But I bet you* did not miss the point.
  6. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    The variables are too many, therefore the longer u stay in that mortgage the higher your chances of defaulting or something happening is great. Now as a BSN floor nurse, ur chances of anything happening is always high. That is my rationale
  7. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    Foreclosure and the housing industry happened because of $15.00 thinking they could own a house. What happened next does not need reiterating. That is a risk too big regardless of how u spend that money. Mortgage is not a piece of toy one can return....
  8. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    If you do not have a masters degree, and do bedside nursing,please do not buy that house. Call me naive or whatever but a BSN, single or not, too much risk.
  9. New offer today-not sure what to do

    You've already answered this question. Your sanity has no price.
  10. Potential PMHNP looks to bolster graduate GPA...advice?

    I think the most formidable way would be performing highly on a GRE. That would definitely cover you. Since a program like the one @ UT of Arlington makes an individual take GRE if GPA is less than 3.5
  11. Dreadlocks

    That is wrong, esp for people of color. Dreadlock for people of color with nappy hair, the hair just tangles up and all you do is guide that process. You guide the process, you end up with neat dreadlocks, you ignore that process, you end up with ras...
  12. This just went from funny to hilarious...one reason am addicted to allnurses
  13. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    From reading most of this comments on this thread, one can discern that nursing clearly is not close to being the hardest job out there. However, there is so much hype about it that never seems to end. So the question now becomes, is it overrated? I ...
  14. Which NP specialties make the most money?

    The kind of money being thrown here just makes me salivate and yearn so bad for an advanced degree already! The higher you go the cooler it becomes. Thank God for nursing as a job
  15. Questions for ADN Grads about BSN's

    All you have to do is search on this site. And u could do additionally outside sources that will prove am right. But to highlight real quickly, UT of A has an outstanding ratings of its program compared to EC. Secondly, UT of A is a university EC ain...
  16. Questions for ADN Grads about BSN's

    UT of A is reputable compared to EC. That is how I'll pick.
  17. 48 interviews...

    That would be a hard nut to crack. Once there is anything on that license, no matter how minor, the chances of getting hired is zero. (Learnt that today). But there are exception.
  18. Base pay of RN BSN in LTC

    With 7 years of experience 18/hr?? That's an insult! Pure and simple.
  19. Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

    Some, like me. Consider nursing as a job. Do I respect my job? I sure do coz it pays bills. Do I have a career- absolutely! Do I have to suck it up till I get there- definitely. So sorry it ain't like that in ur utopia.
  20. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    I think you placed the cart before the horse here. Not even the CDC are sure that it ain't airborne. That's why the isolation. So technically, u could compare the two.
  21. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Commit Baylor , leave UTA. If the email comes- good. If it doesn't come even better.
  22. whats your plan B

    Plan A: EE/BoCE Plan B: ADN RN, BSN. Fullstop. Plan C: maintain plan B till plan A is achieved by trying different areas of plan B
  23. whats your plan B

    What was plan A? Am curious
  24. Calling it quits after 17 years....

    Am calling it quits pretty soon but not for the same reasons as you. Am callin it quits because I personally considered nursing a job and not a career. In addition, the fear of losing the license is involved to a certain extent, seeing the BON newsle...
  25. Commuting to Nursing School?

    4 hours commute? Jesus Christ! Is that one way or back and forth? I did 1 hour one way, so a total of 2 hours and after a while u don't notice u commuting. Then I had this old car that never let me down- god bless her soul. I would pass new cars stuc...
