1. Advice for an aspiring CRNA?

   arelius replied to GreenAsTheyCome's topic in CRNA

   If you already have a BS in Biology than the nursing degree you are going for would be a second bachelor's. Is this what you're doing? If so, generally the two bachelor's degree each have their own gpa. You start out with a new gpa for your second...

2. How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

   arelius replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Just remember to have respect. What I mean is if it was your dead body there in front of you (God forbid), how would you want the body handled? I assume you would want it to be done properly. Death is part of life so just continue proper care know...

3. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

   arelius replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I could be a teller right out of high school and make $12/hr starting with full benefits. $11 an hour, ya right.

4. I can't be a nurse?

   arelius replied to Doofy's topic in General Nursing

   I doubt the nursing program needs to know the details. Take care of it through the health center at your school and once they clear it, it should be fine. I think the nursing program only cares if they receive the "okay" from the health center.

5. what is generic nursing?

   arelius replied to sheraz86's topic in General Nursing

   At my school the generic nursing program (BSN) is the regualr program (6 semesters 2 semesters a year). Every other program in the nursing department isn't generic nursing. For instance, we have a accelerated BSN which consists of the same exact co...

7. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

   arelius replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

   The point I was trying to make is I would not respect a person if they are being disrespectful to me. If someone told me to get some "testes" and become a EMT or a doctor then, no, I would not have respect for that person. I would keep my cool and I ...

8. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

   arelius replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

   It doesn't matter what their age is. If they want respect they need to be respectful also. And wouldn't it make more sense for an elderly person who having gone through a long life would have a better understanding of that concept instead of the ex...

   arelius replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

   Are you trying to be funny because that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

10. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    arelius replied to Sheri257's topic in California

    It's kind of off the subject but one interesting topic we went over in my econ class was crime rates. You're right that the 3 strikes law has caused a decrease in crime but not by much. The biggest reason? Abortion. Because of Roe vs. Wade aborti...

11. Where were u 9/11/01?

    arelius replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I first saw the new in the morning and then realized what was really happening in my 12th grade English class. The teacher cancelled the lecture and activities for the day and we just watched the news in class. I can't believe it's been five years ...

12. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    arelius replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

    It doesn't matter if the enforcement isn't top notch. The fact is it is illegal to cross the border and those illegals know that. That is why they sometimes hire coyotes, dig tunnels, etc... Just because the enforcement sucks doesn't mean they hav...

13. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    arelius replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

    Last I checked it was illegal to cross the border without permission. The door isn't open, the door is closed but many illegal immigrants decide to open the door one way or another. And just because the door is open doesn't mean you give another pe...

14. RN to MD anyone? Feeling unsupported.

    arelius replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    If your looking for support you have mine. But I would suggest that you disregard all of the negative things people are telling you. You have the support of your family so there is no need to get support from anyone else even though it would be nic...

15. Being a man in the field

    arelius replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Students

    It's not at all uncomfortable. Most of us are friends who have known each other in other classes like Anatomy, Physiology, Chem, etc...so going into the nursing classes I already knew many of the women in the class so everything was just fine. Plus...
