2. Petition to help new grads get experience

   InfirmiereJolie replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

   The nursing colleges in my area get 200 applicants each semester and only accept 40. Another has a 3 year waiting list. It's like this all around the country. You have to have a 4.0 to get in, great...

   InfirmiereJolie replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I *did* in-home care for a woman with Alzheimers. I've also *helped* people do in-home care for non-relatives. (The assumptions that I don't have first hand experience is WRONG, actually, without that...

6. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

   InfirmiereJolie replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Considering that a person is caring for another human being's welfare, $18,000 is not very much money, especially when it is a family member. I would pay $1,000,000 if I had that money even if it made...

7. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

   InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   If people think anyone who disagrees with the use of definitions, data, statistics, and scientific evidence is being "condescending" then I don't know how anyone could possibly have a logically-based...

8. False accusations.

   InfirmiereJolie replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   We like to joke that it's not "right to work" but the "right to get fired." Anyhow, the only negative is the 30 minutes for EMT/ambulance to arrive. It seems heinous that it would take 30 minutes for...

    Did you know that your state (WI) has gun regulation laws? Indeed, it receives a grade of C-. The D and F states I was referring are the prime examples of not enough laws for protecting their...

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Msn10, how does being a cheesehead and liking the Packers have anything to do with gun control? This is a hasty generalization and a logical fallacy. It's called trying to falsely bandwagon, another...

13. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I write posts with bolded emphasis and in quotes because if I wrote it any other way no one would read it. Who wants to read some large essay? No one pays attention to essays, they want to read bold...

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I used to live in Arizona and it has an unbelievable gun-death problem. They also have some (if not the) most relaxed state gun laws in the country, receiving an F grade. There would be people...
