1. Nursing Home vs Home Care

   bookbunny replied to ceefde9891's topic in Job Hunt

   If you are unhappy, I'd say, follow your heart - you can't determine now what opportunities may come in the future, even if you believe that staying in a nursing home would fare better on your résumé. I would address your concerns with your administ...

2. Anybody else tired of taking pre-reqs?

   bookbunny replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Maybe you will use it in the future to connect and relate to a patient or a patient's family.

3. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

   bookbunny replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism

   I agree with you that "no one is forced to do a * thing," yet, I don't quite understand your reasoning when you compare abortion to divorcees. Unless the divorcee is asking the nurse to assist in "permanent termination of an unwanted spouse" then I a...

4. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

   bookbunny replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism

   I agree with you - a doctor I know does not believe in prescribing birth control pills due to his strict religious beliefs, and he is clear with all his patients about this boundary, so if the patient isn't OK with his beliefs, they must find another...

5. Calcampus Biochemistry

   bookbunny replied to Theone40's topic in Online Learning

   It's just my two cents, but I would advise not to take courses through CalCampus. A while back I was considering CalCampus since I was working at a hospital, on call some nights, weekends, and of course working during the day, so I just didn't know i...

6. Los Angeles travel assignment...

   bookbunny replied to NurseVirgo's topic in Travel

   Stay off craigslist! I lived in LA for a decade - I first started in Newport Beach, then moved to the Valley (Sherman Oaks, which was the worst ever), then to Mar Vista, then Venice Beach. Venice Beach was the best place to live because the city is a...

7. UBC course load and an "exotic" part-time job.

   bookbunny replied to exoticdancer90's topic in CA Programs

   You will have to ask yourself why you are going into nursing in the first place. If it is for the money, you will never be satisfied because money is not a lasting motivator to get you through the extreme levels of stress of both nursing school and w...

8. Using Your Photo As An Avatar

   bookbunny replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   This reminds me, I think social networking sites of any kind are dangerous - patients and employers do search for those kinds of things, and any little slight can affect your nursing career - or your professional image.

9. LPN...not good enough??

   bookbunny replied to em1025's topic in LPN/LVN

   Let's be honest here. LPN's and CNA's and PCA's are not RN's. Newsflash: LPN's are less than RN's - with formal nursing education and with professional duties. With that said, LPN's are not less than RN's in character and moral wholeness. We cannot b...
