1. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   I understand what you are saying here completely, and of course there is nothing wrong with someone referring to a fine piece of real estate as "God's country". The only problem is, I do not believe the poster was referring to real estate at all, an...

2. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   Being that you're done, I don't expect a reply. Good. Sorry, but the way the comment was phrased, little interpretation could be derived from it but arrogance.

3. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   It is rhetoric like this that alienates "the south" from not only the rest of the country, but the rest of the world. It's inflammatory. This attitude that God favors the South first, the rest of the old U.S. of A. second, and that he couldn't care...

4. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   Okay---- yes! And it is also unfortunate because most of the people that I have found myself the most comfortable with upon first introduction have that mountain twang. I'm a place about 1 hr. from hardcore appalachia, but I just wanted to add that ...

5. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   I think you got my original meaning across better than I did. I did not intend to offend anyone. I am from the rural foothills of NC and the only way I "escape" heavy regional accents and thick dialect is at school which is in a more educated regio...

6. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   Hahahah! No, I actually do not say "y'all", at least not anymore. I've compromised-- I say "you all". Better or worse? I don't know.

7. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   LuvMyGamecocks, you have not thoroughly read my posts. I answered this question before you asked it. Ignorance to English grammatical rules and phoenetics, blah blah blah. I feel like you are on the defensive with me as though I am personally atta...

8. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   To the first part, applies to anyone with a dialect so heavy and english so broken that it prevents a fellow english-speaker from understanding them. To the second part, I'm not saying it is a "RULE" in the way that I think you interpreted it. I'm...

9. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   You are entirely right Marie-- they could have "some other issue aside from intelligence or education" that prevents them from speaking correctly, but that would be the exception, not the rule

10. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps that was poor clarification on my part. As I said, I was born and raised in the south, and I attend a southern university. As to whether other parts of the country give a better education that southern schools, I am not going to make that c...

11. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with you that ignorant or stupid people can come from any part of "the world" and sloppy accents are certainly not limited to the south. It is the heavy bias of the poster's reply that I quoted in my op that compelled me to write what I d...

12. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Well, way to write an entirely biased reply. I was born and raised in North Carolina where the accents may vary from southern aristocratic to hillbilly mush. Personally, I find some very thick southern accents sloppy and at times irritating especia...

13. I want to become a CRNA

    jameeladf replied to Mimi's nurse's topic in SRNA

    Keep your GPA up in the undergrad studies!!! That can not be stressed enough (and I mean above a 3.5). The higher the better. Also, I'm assuming you realize that you will not be accepted into a Nurse Anesthesia program without a BSN. Critical Car...

14. testosterone and curly hair?

    jameeladf replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure your hair stylist gave you some inaccurate information. The testestosterone levels in the body do not change significantly for women as they get older-- the estrogen levels do. When you are young higher estrogen levels help to mute ...

15. are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse?

    jameeladf replied to misouritraveller's topic in General Nursing

    This is silly. No one is "born". There are certainly some that are more naturally caring than others, but experience and life plays a major role in developing and expanding those tendencies. If you feel that you received some calling to be a nurse...
