  1. Dress Codes for School

    Leedeedee replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    School uniforms. We always had school uniforms in the UK when I was a child. Specific colour skirt or trousers, specific colour shirt, black outdoor shoes, a blazer and tie. The rationale was that...

  2. Nurse practitioner or Medical Doctor

    Leedeedee replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a reason you've discounted PA school? At only 2 years long, the program will cost less, especially with regards to lost earnings. You'd have fewer loans to repay and you have the relevant...

  3. Working in Hail Saudi Arabia

    Leedeedee replied to laurenjarrod's topic in General World

    You will want to check what accommodation they'll be offering you. For a family you'll need them to arrange and supply a house on a Western Compound, or a hospital specific compound. Don't take an...

  4. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    Leedeedee replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is another way to look at this, rather than it being NPs v Physicians. I would question whether technology is making physicians, if not obsolete, definitely required less than in the past. Is...

  5. Interested in Nursing

    Leedeedee replied to VGamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're doing this because you're feeling rather empty and want to help humanity, there is another way. Keep your well paid job, especially if it has prospects, and volunteer with any one of the...

  6. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    Leedeedee replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, unfortunately a lot of us have learnt the hard way that everyone, even family, no matter how much you trust them usually, become completely selfish and untrustworthy where money is concerned....

  7. Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Leedeedee replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It's so funny to read this because in the UK "No Problem" or a nod of the head is the standard (and perfectly polite) response to "Thank you" In Australia it's "No Worries". Have they picked it up...

  8. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    Leedeedee replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're paying for it, it's your choice where you live and with whom. He who pays the piper calls the

  9. Need standard response response suggestions

    Leedeedee replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    Answer a remark with a question. Every time. Snarky comment...reply why do you think that? or Why would you say something so unprofessional? or Do you think that's appropriate for the ward? Or Do...

  10. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    Leedeedee replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I try not to be negative on this forum, I try to keep quiet, but really. Your mother does not have to co-sign on any loan. She is not responsible for you as an adult, beyond any legal requirements....

  11. EDUKAN ONLINE COURSE, Science Pre-Requisites, advice help!! ayuadame!

    Leedeedee replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have you taken a look at American Public University, they're regionally accredited and offer online science courses with labs. They're just over $1k for a 4 credit course, so not cheap but not...

  12. Okay, this is random ... but under-scrub shirts! Specific needs.

    Leedeedee replied to Lunah's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's always worth checking out the religious clothing websites. Islamic and Jewish clothing websites nearly always carry tight lycra layering tees which come down to the wrist and should cover your...

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

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

    A lot of people in this thread are stating this as fact. Yet that doesn't explain why women's work status in Northern Europe has improved to at least the same extent and in some cases greater than...

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

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

    I find this an interesting assertion. I'd love to see the comparison between the status of women in the workplace in the USA to the same in the UK where there has never been reverse discrimination...

  15. I finally quit smoking!

    Leedeedee replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I stopped smoking over 12 years ago, have never had another cigarette since. I was a really heavy smoker who wanted to quit but thought it would be torture. Was recommended a book, Allen Carr's...

  16. Disappointed in nursing

    Leedeedee replied to nursingilove's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Got to say, there's juvenile high school behavior in all types of workplaces. The worst place I ever worked for it was in the financial sector, where the staff have the reputation of being tough,...

  17. CNM vs. Med School

    Leedeedee replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Having your RN license will also be very useful to help pay your way through medical

  18. WWI / WW2 Nursing dress

    Leedeedee replied to Parakeet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's easy to buy traditional nurses dresses in the UK. I'm sure some of the companies will ship to the US. They usually come pretty long (calf length) and then you can adjust them as necessary for...

  19. New grad RN looking for visa sponsorship- HELP!

    Leedeedee replied to carolinameza's topic in Immigration Advice

    It depends how much cash you have in the bank. You're more likely to get a sponsored if you're a Nurse Practitioner in an in demand field, willing to work in poorer areas. There are NP courses that...
