Was she wrong, am I full of it, or is there actually a slight connotative difference?

Yeh, it also has that too... kara is a joining word, so - 私がひまですからつまらなくなってしまいます。which is similar to the way you would use が in 私はひまですがまだたのしいことがあります。so really it is a middle sentence thing... the ので is more of a relative clause type of expression 私はいじわるのでだれも私がすきでわありま� �ん。 so it doesnt split the sentence as such in this case, however, it makes the reason and the cause all in one sentence...
however, just dont think about that too much, just remember, that kara and node are used in almost the same way but one is more formal than the other, and they can both in theory be used after the result.
