  10. Are women psychologically predisposed to cattiness?

    Alpha13 replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's true. Who gossips more? Who's physically weaker? Who has been socially programmed to be more passive (which results in catty behavior, rather than more aggressive behavior you see in men)...

  11. Agency nursing locally?

    Alpha13 posted a topic in Travel

    Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to find a contract locally through an agency for higher pay (since agency nurses make more) If this is doable would I still need 1 year experience or could I...

    Alpha13 replied to flowerpower's topic in General Nursing

    Alpha13 posted a topic in General Nursing

  15. Practice Issues

    Alpha13 replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  16. Possible to attend 2 colleges simultaneously?

    Alpha13 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hey guys, I recently found out my local community college nursing program has a 2 year wait so I will be transfering to another community college with only 1 year wait. After I get my RN I'll be doing...

  17. 2 yr waiting list. What to do until then? Ideas?

    Alpha13 replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    This thread made me paranoid that my college nursing program would also have a wait, I called and sure enough they do! I found another school that has "only" a one year wait but that still sucks. I...

  18. IF I work part time, is "1 year ICU exp" still 1 year?

    Alpha13 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The school I will be transfering to requires an AS in nursing as a prereq to their BSN program, so I'll have some time to work in ICU while I'm getting my BSN. Thing is since I hear nurses commonly...

  19. Why Are 12 hour shifts the standard?

    Alpha13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Alpha13 replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Well isn't this a surprise, you guys must be hard workers to want to do 12 hour shifts. I'd much rather do 8, maybe 10 if I can get off my legs for a while. So if this is a nurse voted thing do most...

  22. Question about salary.

    Alpha13 replied to bear1234's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I doubt those $140,000 positions are "after tax" either, whether your employer withholds your tax or you do you're still paying it. As far as the salary range I think it's common for the more advanced...
