   VMSR replied to Mukfay's topic in General Nursing

   Chinese did not close any companies in the USA- American owners of those companies did it. And I bet all of the people complainig about influx of cheap goods from overseas love to shop at Walmart. Also, while wars cost tremendous amount of money, fo...

2. Should I quit nursing school...?

   VMSR replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

   Duh! It was supposed to be harsh. We are all adults here.

3. Should I quit nursing school...?

   VMSR replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

   Is anybody else as sick of this whining about nursing jobs as I am? This feeling of entitlement is totally killing me. Nobody is guaranteed job in this country at all, and we may yet live through even worse economy than we have now. Regardless of wha...

4. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

   VMSR replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wish to thank all of you for posting in this forum. You drove me crazy, but also provided me with information, and helped pass the time until we all hear about the scholarship. I just got the email informing me I won the scholarship, and wanted to ...

5. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

   VMSR replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism

   This is a bunch of baloney from people who profit by having nurses overworked and under-payed. It doesn't make any sense, even to people who are not RNs. I'm not even sure what their point is, except to 'carry water' for health care executives and fi...

6. Nursing...recession proof??

   VMSR replied to FAMUNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

   Is anyone else kid of sick of this 'jobs is not waiting for me, what shall I do' complaints? Are people living in a bubble? Do they not hear the news? There is 10% unemployment in the USA, which pundits now are saying is 'structural.' Structural unem...

7. tb skin test after being vaccinated with bcg

   VMSR replied to krazievi3t6url's topic in Safety

   I have the same issue, and here's what I know from personal experience. Most of the people who had BCG vaccine will have exaggerated reaction mimicking TB infection. My family physician told me not to get any more skin tests, and just to have chest x...

8. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

   VMSR replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   What's up with questions like this? It is not like you want to get pregnant: your brain, unlike your ovaries, never stops working. I'll be (God willing) starting my masters when I'm 50. My friend, who is 57, is just starting law school. Money, also, ...

9. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

   VMSR replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello my fellow students! Just wanted to thank all of you lovely, OCD people for making me look into my spam folder, where my first email from HRSA was hiding. You are the best, and I hope many, many of you will get this scholarship (including me, of...

10. Healthcare is a commodity

    VMSR replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism

    Yes, why are you asking? quote=K nurse-one-day;4425485]Jesus! Liberal much?

11. Healthcare is a commodity

    VMSR replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism

    Original post is a classical example of selfishness that is being elevated to the point of virtue in this country. It is not controversial to say that one believes healthcare is a commodity: that is the point that both Republicans (and some Democrats...

12. Time to call a duck a duck?

    VMSR replied to eriksoln's topic in Professionalism

    Eric, I have one comment to your post: pffft! If you believe nurses are more like McDonald workers than, lets say, pharmacists, I'd like to know where you work, and avoid the place at all costs, either as a RN or a patient. Issues you list to support...

13. First injection

    VMSR replied to VMSR's topic in General Students

    Flu shot clinic immunization seems like a pretty good way to get some experience. We did practice on each other, which made me more nervous. We will also practice on each other intravenous shots and I guess, maybe even starting IV lines. Not until ne...

14. First injection

    VMSR posted a topic in General Students

    Hello fellow student nurses! I've just given my first two shots (sub-q and IM) today, and was pretty nervous doing it. Luckily, my partner was very cool, so it all went relatively good. I'm generally not a nervous type, so I'm curious: when did you s...

15. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    VMSR replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio

    Lisa, if you are foreign, you must have permanent residency (green card) and you have to pass TOEFL test. You will also need all your previous diplomas (high school, college) submitted to college. You should translate them to English, and then make c...
