    North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    Eh, I'm kind of offended by your thoughts on nursing. It IS laboring work, true. I'll give you that. But it's also a profession. I've watched many nurses do things that I've never seen doctors do in my hospital. If doctors deserve to have "profe...

    North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    If you already have a Bachelors, why go backwards and make more work for yourself? Why not just get your MSN instead of taking the longer, more costly route?

    Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    CA is going to be on a hiring freeze, once again. The governor just rolled out his newest budget plans and healthcare is among the cuts. The competition out here is FIERCE and there are MANY new grads out here without jobs who have been searching f...

    Obama Declares Swine Flu a National Emergency

    Personally, I find it appalling that they're requesting/recommending pregnant women and children get it first. Guinea pigs eh? I'm 9 months pregnant and both my midwife and OB told me NOT to get it b/c there hasn't been enough testing; and quite fr...

    Family-Centered Maternity Care and Rooming-In

    Thanks LJMoats:) It's definitely going to be an adventure! Some other friends told me it's a good idea to stay the second night, regardless. My mom will be here with me for three weeks, but she may arrive after I've already given birth. So, I do ...

    Family-Centered Maternity Care and Rooming-In

    I just talked with my midwife today about what happens after the birth. She said it is a mandatory 24 hour stay with a normal vaginal birth. I will meet with a lactation consultant and learn how to breast feed and if I want to stay an additional da...

    My Father Died Today

    Sue, I've never lost a parent, but I understand that the healing process takes time and no ones words can heal you right away. I hope that you and the rest of your family can find peace and tranquility during this difficult period:heartbeat

    Family-Centered Maternity Care and Rooming-In

    Geesh, I have actually been thinking about that lately. I only want a few people there. It seems difficult to concentrate on breathing and relaxing with all these people in the room. I've been trying to figure out who I want in the room with me in...
  11. They CANNOT FORCE any kind of vaccine on ANYONE. Let them try and see what happens. It will be interesting...
  12. Eh, I have yet to see what I want to see in regards to this vaccine. I just am having a hard time believing there isn't a motive behind this all. I find this flu quite amusing, as I was raised on a farm with pigs and never caught the flu. As a mat...
  13. Oops..here is the other article I read from Mercola about immunity being granted to the swine flu vaccine makers. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/08/20/Legal-Immunity-Set-for-Swine-Flu-Vaccine-Makers.aspx
  14. Frontline health and social care workers will be among the first to be vaccinated in October along with people with serious underlying health problems and pregnant women. However a survey by Nursing Times has found many frontline nurses have reserva...

    Cheating in the Classroom

    I would just like to point out that just b/c someone fails the boards, does not mean they were cheating in school. Sadly, I failed the boards a few times and I was a hardworking student who graduated with honors. I'm just a bad test taker when I am...
