   BamaBound2bRN replied to 09RN's topic in Alabama

   Community Colleges in Alabama (and most other states as well) are mandated by law to admit all students with a diploma or GED. They use admission tests like the Compass to stream line students into appropriate level Math and English courses.

   Here is a novel idea..........how about your paycheck. Last I remember, this is a free country, if you are so miserable why not quit. This thread sounds kinda like kids at Christmas......"I got stinking underwear and socks again from Grandma."

   Yes, but Anthony Jr. is primed to take over as the Don. I hope people don't believe that all Italians named Tony are Mafia.

8. A few questions for the "older" new nurses...

   BamaBound2bRN replied to adiliegro's topic in General Nursing

   I am 39+ and just got accepted to the RN Program for this Fall! The toughest part for me is trying to hold conversations with students who don't remember Reagan or the Challenger or are too young to drink- depressing sometimes.

9. Diabetic Pet Peeves

   BamaBound2bRN replied to bjs54321's topic in Endocrine

   I can only speak for myself. To me diabetes is a condition like my hearing (fair) or my vision (wore glasses until lasik). It is a part of who I am, I control it-it does not control me. I check my sugar and take my insulin and exercise and diet ac...

    BamaBound2bRN replied to bjs54321's topic in Endocrine

    Pet Peeve #7- Being diabetic is a health condition, NOT A DISABILITY! I can do anything you can do (usually) and somethings even better- I just have to monitor my diabetes.

11. Leaving a message

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Pinky2's topic in General Nursing

13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    What I am opposed to, is misrepresentation of the "Right to Work" quagmire. Pay is great- compared to cost of living, and as far as job security- I don't see the mass layoffs everytime there is a change of administration/management. I just believe ...

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    So, when the majority of America wanted slavery- that was ok? When most of America wanted Segregation- blacks just had to "suck it up"? The majority of America is against gay marriage- should gays be forced to move to Canada? How about if 51% of Amer...

15. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    So, if I am at a hospital that 51% of the nurses vote a union in, and the contract requires all nurses to either join the union or pay a service fee to the union, my choices are join the party or find another hospital? Well, why not tell the nurses ...
