   emmyers replied to apple74's topic in Oregon Nursing

   The OHSU transition is non-competitive, the bridge program is mostly online as well. Also, as for clinicals, all OCNE programs have the same required clinicals/hours as OHSU; one does not have more...

   Christy, Thank you, and now, I did not really have medical experience, I did have a lot of volunteer experience though. I spent a few months in Baton Rouge and New Orleans helping with Katrina...

5. How many times have you applied?

   emmyers replied to Sartorius1's topic in Oregon Nursing

   Hey, I applied two years in a row, was waitlisted and then accepted each year at MHCC, but I turned down the 1st year in order to take a year off and work to pay off debt so I wouldn't have to work...

   emmyers replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   @toekneejo I do not know what statistical rates you are referring to (whether say, occupational mortality or disease), I was referring to those gathered by the WHO (which I stated in my post), and I...

7. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

   emmyers replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   You are assuming that constitutional rights are equivalent to basic human rights, when that is not necessarily true. You are merely claiming that healthcare is not a constitutional right by claiming...

9. Being an ugly nurse

   emmyers replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I don't think it matters what people think of your appearance. In fact, if I'm at the hospital as a pt, I'm probably at my own worst; and I'd rather have McNormal than McDreamy taking care of me any...

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Maru, Jadelpn's suggestion is one that takes into account the environment at the least risk to the girl. It is one that will provide an open door for the girl where she may not have one, in...

11. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what you are basing your judgment here off of, but that's certainly not true for the majority of those I know who was home-schooled, and I know quite a few people from home-schooled...

12. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend seems to know very little about nursing as a career if he's asking why they need to go to school. If he's too stubborn to help his daughter seek out a nursing school when the time comes,...

13. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    emmyers replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, I do know what it's like, don't judge me according to your own personal conflictions. Don't patronize me. I deleted my side comment questioning your moral development, but I really find it...

14. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    emmyers replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think you sound incredibly entitled and are missing the point of what it means to be a nurse. To think of it as just a job is to slap in the face to every nurse who's sacrificed their time and life...
