"I know how you feel" may sound too cliche, but I just want you to know I have been there- at least 3 times! And I am HIV free. The probability of getting HIV from a real poke- like the ones I had- is quite low. The first time, 2 decades ago in Afric...
I am glad Suzy12 and silverdragon102 have great answers for you! I have never worked in the UK, but have friends with training like mine that have. There's nothing to fear concerning your US training- most nurse training is basically similar in cont...
I have read a number of responses to this thread, and I am disappointed at the seeming silent acceptance of this alleged "online learner" discrimination! Most suggest to avoid online schools in order to be recognized, and I think its a lot of BS. Th...
@ SionainnRN, I think you are taking this too personal…yes, the OPs perception of your comment may have sparked this thread, but its enough that you explained what you meant! She didn't have to ask you privately about it- anytime you make a comment o...

Finally, Nursing speaks, and CDC apologizes=thats what I am talking about! We need some visibility, and support from our "Generals!" Nurse union defends Dallas Ebola patient | MSNBC
Interesting take, @ TC3200! Personally, I wouldn't like to blame individual nurses or hospitals, or even the patient himself, because it does not help! If Duncan- whatever his personal life is- should take any blame, so should the Americans trekking ...
Hating nursing does not necessarily translate into "Bad Nurse!" There are many great nurses who still don't like nursing for various reasons. People who know my dedication to my job get shocked when I tell them I do not really like what I do, because...
Great, @Chiandre, thanks for sharing that algorithm! True, every infectious disease comes to some level of containment, eventually. However, how fast and efficiently it is tackled does affect the extent of "collateral damage," which often lasts much...
Interesting topic! I have a foreign accent, and I pronounce "Bird" and "Bed" much the same way:rolleyes:… However, I can't get over native English speakers who say, e.g. " I could have went back to school.." And this is very common both in the US and...
