   madophelia replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Cool - glad to see there are others in the same boat with me. I just started A&P I a week ago. It's the only class I'm taking this semester - and I'll take A&P II next semester - as well as another science class i think. I'm taking it at th...

2. Cultural sensitivity project atheism

   madophelia replied to autopsy's topic in General Students

   Not to be a stickler here but the OP was just asking for advice on atheism and how a nurse would relate to someone who was. As for the country being founded on Christian values, ten commandments, etc - I won't go there that's not what the thread is a...

   madophelia replied to autopsy's topic in General Students

   As an atheist myself, going to extremes of avoiding taking the bible out of the room, removing religious symbols - doesn't matter as much. I mean if you find yourself in say, a Catholic hospital, its not like I wouldn't know so I'd expect religious ...

6. Should I apply for this job...? Advise please

   madophelia replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in CNA/MA

   It sounds like we're in the same boat! I'm working in the same kind of job you are right now and will be able to take the state exam at the end of the month. It is nice having a low-stress job but one of the reasons I took the job was because it co...

7. Calling All CNA's!

   madophelia replied to nightingale's topic in CNA/MA

   I might as well post since I haven't really done much posting. I'm Maria, 27, in Wisconsin. I used to be an English major but now I've decided to pursue nursing. My ultimate goal is a BSN and beyond that I'm not sure - its all about the cost of schoo...
