  1. Health Care is Not a Right

    oceangirl1234 replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with the posters that those who are truly sick should not have to worry about getting the treatment that they need. BUT I always feel sick to my stomach when I see how much taxes are taken off...

  2. Help? Questions need answering please..

    oceangirl1234 replied to Paigeashxo's topic in United Kingdom

  7. Refusing to change/toilet pts

    oceangirl1234 replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have CNA's on either unit that I work on. We do all of their care...including toileting. Some great discussion on this thread. Would i refuse a human being some basic dignity by helping them...

  8. Should I take 5 nursing pre-reqs in one semester?

    oceangirl1234 replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you can do it. You said yourself that you are very studious. Five isn't that uncommon during nursing school, so pre-req's should be better. Just focus all your energy into your studies and...

  9. Am I able?

    oceangirl1234 replied to Nurse_soon's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You will be fine. A lot of people I don't take "health care related courses" in high school. I didn't know such things existed. We had CALM (career and life management) which isn't related to nursing...

    oceangirl1234 replied to Mburciaga's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't let gender influence your decision-I know plenty of guy nurses who are great. And 35 isn't too late. What matters is if you can afford to take the time away from work to complete the schooling....

  13. Raising them right.

    oceangirl1234 replied to notanumber's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would try talking to the person first...but don't tell them what to do as you aren't the manager. Perhaps go the respectful constructive criticism route, and if they don't listen at least you tried...

  14. RN wanting to higher degree

    oceangirl1234 replied to karli.butler's topic in General Nursing

    How can you be a nurse practitioner if you don't even know how to be a nurse yet? Get some experience first. Do business, that sounds safer for

  15. Haunted Hospital??

    oceangirl1234 replied to Breathing16's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    At 3 am the other night, my coworker was telling me about how haunted our unit is. During the middle of the night when some co-workers have been resting on the couch in the break room, they have heard...

  16. Staff speak their own langauge at Work

    oceangirl1234 replied to timmac98's topic in Canada

    I think that when speaking to, or in a patient's range of hearing, English should be spoken. When speaking to other co-workers about nursing things (ie. report) then obviously English should be spoken...
