3. I Will Fear No Evil For You Are With Me

   scurbro replied to CheesePotato's topic in Spirituality

   This was beautiful, it was something I was thinking about recently, yesterday or today. I would definitely read the bible to a patient if they wanted me too. Or pray with them. I would never think twice. I am religious myself, but at this time have b...

4. What exactly is so bad about LTC??

   scurbro replied to MaybeaNurse7's topic in Geriatric

   Gosh, I'm now scared about becoming a caregiver, I will basically help with the same things a C.N.A does if I get this job, but I won't be certified, so I probably will do a lot less then a CNA. I am though hoping the place I will work has great pati...

   scurbro replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN/LVN

   Wow. That is all I can say. I am not an LPN, I am not an RN. I am not even a nursing student yet. I hope to become a Care giver first and get experience for a year or two before I make up my mind. However I have the opportunity to go to school for my...

8. Azusa Pacific Online: Pre-Nursing Certificate

   scurbro posted a topic in Online Learning

   Has anybody gone through this program and does anybody know where this certificate is accepted. I do not want to check with admissions of a million schools just to know where 4 classes would be accepted. If you have gone through this program, or know...

9. Pre-Nursing school immunization catastrophe!

   scurbro replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

   I am lucky that I know exactly where my immunization records are. They are with the hospital I have been with since I was a little girl. So all I have to do is have my Grandmother go to membership to get my records. I will definitely check costs for ...

10. Do You Have LPN's in your PICU?

    scurbro replied to gwenwatson's topic in Ohio

    Well I am only a year late, but I liked the different of opinions. For me the institution must be either state owned or non-profit, and the name of the institution matters. It needs to be recognized by the Nursing Education commission, forgetting wha...

14. Our jobs as nurses is to protect/help/serve the doctors.

    scurbro replied to thesundowner's topic in Relations

    I think the original poster hit a nerve, while trying to be funny probably had a lot of truth, and the PGY-2 Doctor did a good observation too. Mistakes goes both ways. I can not say more then this. I am not a nurse yet. I was a patient in the ER a ...
