7. online schools cheapen our profession?

   over30nursestudent replied to $/satisfaction?'s topic in Online Learning

   How is attending lecture online any different than sitting in a classroom other than having to be there physically? The assignments are the same, there is a skills lab open and there are clinicals (at least 500hrs+). The art of nursing is a lifelong ...

12. Add/ADHD: disclose or keep to self

    over30nursestudent replied to newrn05's topic in General Nursing

    I think that disclosing medical information during an employee health physical and drug screen (obviously you need to have a script for the stimulant) is alot different than telling your co-workers about your personal business.

13. Add/ADHD: disclose or keep to self

    over30nursestudent replied to newrn05's topic in General Nursing

    I would not disclose, just because there is plenty of ignorance out there with this diagnosis, and any other mental health issue. I am in school to be a nurse and I work part time as an aide at a small hospital and I am shocked to hear how the nurses...
