  1. Best state/city to be a nurse?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I still have 2 years left before I am done with school, but my wife and I are considering moving to another state if the pay is substantially better (as a nurse) than where I currently live (Knoxville...

    Here is the description from my college's website: Program description. Administrative Professional Technology offers a core curriculum that provides an academic/technical foundation for individuals...

  3. Electronic Health Records Specialist Certificate

    Zooey72 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I am going for my RN right now, and am looking for something that could make me more marketable. Would this certification help? Electronic Health Records Specialist Certificate It seems to be more...

  4. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I took for granted we were still on the same topic that I pointed out, that leave from work is what causes the pay disparity. I am not arguing that the disparity does not exist, I am arguing the...

  5. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Those charts do not answer the question if maternity leave or gaps in employment because of children play into why the disparity exists. It is specific about the controls, and that is not one of...

  6. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The article you provided stated how pay/age effect both genders, but I saw nothing about pay difference between men and women at all. The comparisons I saw in the article were about men comparing to...

  7. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I won't argue someone's personal experience. I don't know you. You may be dougie houser, or one of the cast off of scrubs. My point is that when they say "women make less money than men for the...

  8. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, I would. The issue is I don't need to because I have the grades that I know for a fact I do not need AA. Because you would be willing to be less qualified to cheat someone else out of a...

  9. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What question are you asking, you have me confused. I am saying that standards should be met by either sex for any prof. and gender should not play a role. If a standard has been changed to get more...

  10. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think the OP is wrong. I have now talked to 2 nursing advisors who have said my gender is a bonus in both school, and getting a job afterwards. That being said, when people say that women get paid...

  11. Gender bias

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I mentioned this on another thread, but thought it deserved its own. I am finishing off my prereqs. next semester and have gotten all A's. I got a bit nervous watching some Youtube stuff about...

  12. Are you the Doctor? (funny)

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dude, you need to lighten the hell up. Before my father died I helped him around the house because he didn't get around very well (he had 1 leg). One time he asked me to replace a light bulb and I...

  13. After prereq downtime.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to be finishing my prereq's in the fall (A&P2 and Statistics), and fully expect to get into nursing school. The issue I have is that the current community college I am going to only...

  14. After prereq downtime.

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The way it was explained to me is that part of the course requires "Contact points" which you can gain through various activities. They are a large part of the class, and must be done. Completing...

  15. After prereq downtime.

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I talked to my advisor and he said that while there are classes that could help as far as doing well in certain classes, there were no classes that I could now that would get rid of prereqs in...

  16. Gender bias

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not upset at all. But I believe under no circumstance should anything other than competency at your job and other like qualities be taken into account when decisions like this are made. There is no...

  17. Gender bias

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It would become a political argument if anyone wants to ask why these practices are in place. If you want to go there, fine. I won't get into detail about my position other than to say if I don't...

  18. Gender bias

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I understand there are no guarantees in life, but why would you say this? I get good grades, have RL work experience and have a previous degree. She told me a 3.2 GPA would get you in most of the...

  19. Gender bias

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I didn't "hear it through the grapevine" or see it on 60 minutes. The Nursing student advisor told me that me being male and older would make a difference. I can't think of any more "from the...

  20. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Zooey72 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The only discrimination I have seen is the idiotic quota system that our society endorses. I am doing my prereqs right now and have gotten straight A's. I only have A&P2 and stats and I can...

  21. How to deal with stereotypes and vicious people

    Zooey72 replied to rnhopeful2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wouldn't care what the guy said, but if you feel the need to respond I would have gone with something equally sexist and stupid. "In it for the girls sir. Everyone knows nurses are easy". And...

  22. Anatomy of the Brain

    Zooey72 replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The brain was easy for me. Muscles were hard as heck though, esp. the arm and hand. Too many layers. No real trick for any of it that I know other than memorizing. Are you going to have to...
