   Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

   CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to SHGR's topic in Educators

   Driving 1.5 hrs (one way) to work. Good idea?

   CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to NewRN_SW's topic in General Nursing

   You're going to be way too exhausted doing shift work to sustain 3+hrs of commuting daily for an on-going basis. I'd recommend trying to find a job closer to your new home.

   This is what I am talking about when I say give the OP a break. This isn't curiosity, comments like this are completely judgemental and reeks of privilege. I live in Canada... but from some exhaustive research (because I almost attended school in the...

   For everyone hung up on the costs... did your families help you, are you independently rich? Because to those of us who had to struggle on our own it's not surprising to rack up this kind of debt. For example, my brother is a Doctor of Chiropractic (...

   Or, perhaps some of us Nurses just have integrity, self-respect, and healthy self-esteem that we don't feel a need to tolerate being treated like garbage ?

   Firstly, I don't think it's helpful to criticize the amount of the OPs loan because it doesn't change the fact that this poor soul still owes it, and they came here asking for advice to fix their situation/move forward. The OP was a minor and from th...
