   sunny d replied to Bloop23's topic in General Nursing

   For one thing, I apologize, it wasn't really the OP that many of the posts were directed at that gave me an uncomfortable feeling; there were a handful of somewhat nasty posts directed at the OP, but more directed at each other. What I'm trying to ...

   sunny d replied to Bloop23's topic in General Nursing

   I thought teaching was a part of being a nurse; if so, what do many of the nurses responding here think they are teaching the OP? I happen to agree with a few of the things the OP said and disagree with other things, but that's not what I want to di...

   sunny d replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   OK, to those who won't ask "where the heck am I coming from", well just from a lot of experience dealing with people. I've actually gotten more optimisitic about people the longer I deal with people, especially the ones with problems. And yes, I've...

5. For all of those on Medicaid

   sunny d replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   It's been very interesting to read all these threads, and it has made me do a lot of thinking. I honestly don't personally have a problem with people doing things like going to an ER for a pregnancy test when they could've bought a test for a buck.....

   sunny d replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   People who are on Medicaid and are considered to abuse the system by asking for extra crutches because "Medicaid will pay for it" may say that because it is easier to say that than to say that maybe she's afraid she can't get back if she something ha...

7. For all of those on Medicaid

   sunny d replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   This is not to the OP, but to the people who don't seem to understand why people on Medicaid seem to be the ones that complain the most. I think I understand a little bit why people on Medicaid may be like this, and this is a generalization, so take...

10. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    sunny d replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    Thank you to all who responded to my post. I guess I should've clarified that the only reason I asked if NS was harder than Medical School is not because I thought they were both "oranges" or both "apples" (I understand they are very different in the...
