   2007RNHopeful replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

   I do understand that when choosing a field such as nursing you cannot be going into it with money being the only purpose for doing so.........with that said, I will be graduating in May of 2007, and come from a long line of nurses. I, too, was worrie...

2. Make up...?

   2007RNHopeful replied to ails's topic in General Nursing

   Do you have any men in your class?...........If so tell them you will wear it if they wear it...........one reason they got rid of the hats, men didn't have to wear them and people complained.

3. Suspected Drug Addict Student Nurse

   2007RNHopeful replied to Kabin's topic in General Students

   I agree.....also, why would the students that supposedly gave her these drugs freely admit it to people? That doesn't make any sense. You learn that transferring drugs is a felony in your first year of nursing school, so if they did, infact do it.......

   asking that life saving measures not be taken is in no way, shape or form killing yourself. my father made the decision to take my grandfather off of a venthilator, does that mean my father murdered him? i don't think so.

7. Help with a patient who wants to end her life

   2007RNHopeful replied to oxyjen's topic in General Nursing

   I believe that the illness is taking her life, not her. She has made a decision that she no longer wishes to receive treatment, letting the illness take her. She doesn't have very good quality of life anymore, if any. If she wants to die with what li...

   that is so funny..........I have only cathed females in clinical so far, some of them have made funny comments and it always made me feel a little less nervous.

9. Would nurses support MA licensure?

   2007RNHopeful replied to LorraineCNA's topic in General Nursing

   I think you're right about "tell her to go back to school". I am finishing up my first year of nursing school and I work in LTC. I can't tell you how many of the aides I work with constantly complain of the pay and how the nurses do "nothing". I tell...

10. Anyone heard of such a thing?

    2007RNHopeful replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing
