   amynye replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

3. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   amynye replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   Direw0lf - FWIW - I am pro vaccine. However titers are ALWAYS a better option than vaccines. If someone has immunity it's far better to test the levels than to give unneccesary meds. I think most all medical professionals would agree with that. With...

4. Failed last semester and it hurts

   amynye replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

   I truly hope you learn some compassion. Someone who is willing to ask for help when needed and wants another chance is not weak or "a mess". Empathy is being able to walk a mile in someone else's shoes without being cruel or judgemental. This isn't a...

   amynye replied to AldreaFalan's topic in Western Governors

7. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

9. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   amynye replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   Thanks - I was definitely the odd man out in lab for the course.... But I'm still glad I was - and to the OP: Regardless of what you think about vaccinations - How do you feel about the little ones with compromised immune systems UNABLE to be vaccina...

10. What procedures do you learn?

    amynye replied to Stacey92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    "There are actually girls I know that have this television show idea of what nursing is like, and that they will just be playing with babies all day. If you have to ask if that's nursing or not, then once again, you probably need to pick another car...

    amynye replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    To the OP - While I 100% disagree with all of the logic and reason behind this fight - I must say I admire the willingness to as one poster said "dig your heels in". That being said, being a registered nurse in the United States anyways one would thi...
