So, why value life? Why not go to Vegas and shoot a crowd of people?

So, what's your point? That your deceased cat visited you from beyond? Assuming that's true, what does that mean about eternal life for you? In fact, that's a good point: might we be ghosts after we die? Might we only spend eternity watching the livi...

Yes, like death bring absolutely nothing. A mind just blinks out like a light when the switch is turned off. We are born for no reason. We live for no reason. We die and that is the end of us--as if we had never been in the first place. The mind is w...

Yes, I agree with that. The deeper self, what I call Consciousness (with a capital C), and what I consider is actually God, and the true mental substance of all other minds, never ceases. But me, the ego of EGspirit, is a filter of sorts. It's a way ...

I don't think everyone does. Personally, I think some people exist after they die in a kind of ongoing dream state, but others simply don't. Every conscious mind is part of the larger Consciousness (with a capital C), and some people are used to cont...

No one cares about anyone anymore.

Fair enough. The rest of what you wrote I have no comment on, except to say there is scientific proof that mind can exist without any neurology whatsoever. But that doesn't matter in this response to you. You believe in a cessation of existence, and ...

Who cares if I have spirituality? Even more to the point, who cares what you think of my spirituality? Whether I am angry or not, whether I am ignorant or not, whether my questions have any relevance or not, is not the issue. All you're trying to do ...

That is true. If we cease to exist, then the question about what the afterlife is like is unanswerable, meaningless, really. It would be like asking how dry is water. I think ceasing to exist would certainly be a sought after rest. Experience would h...

I hope you're not referring to me! The only one to bring up religion is you. That's an honest answer. But let me ask you this: Do you care? I mean, are you okay with simply blinking out of existence as if you never were. 0 continued experience. Not...

For the record, I have not mentioned anything about religion, and I couldn't give a rat's a... if someone is an atheist. I just want to know what people think about the afterlife--or if they simply think there isn't one. What pisses me off is when pe...

I really don't know. But I feel like we're dancing a dance here, and frankly, I want to go back to the table and have another drink.

I have news for anyone listening: You will never be happy or satisfied with the job you do to earn a living. It's not possible, and you're better off figuring out how to deal with it than trying to avoid it or improve it. You won't be happy as an FNP...

Why must you insist on being an NP? At this point, why not skip nursing school and do a pre-med bachelor's degree and become an medical doctor? Or for that matter, become a PA (physicians assistant). But in answer to your question: Do really good in ...

I'm not looking for any particular answer, but if you're an atheist and a skeptic, then surely you don't believe there is any afterlife. As an atheist and skeptic, aren't you also a materialist?

Then you believe we cease to exist? I assume that's what you mean, because otherwise, what you have said is a non-answer. It's not even a statement of faith; it's just blowing off the question. Right?

From 1987 to 2003 North Dakota required a bachelor's degree for nursing licensure. This law was revoked in 2003, once again allowing nurses with diplomas or associate degrees to practice. While the state's percentage of baccalaureate prepared nurses ...

Nothing's changing. Trust me, this argument has been going on ON THIS WEBSITE, since at least 2004. It's verbatim, it never changes. Nothing has changed.

Personally, I don't think that NY law will last. I think when it becomes implemented, which it is not yet, and as time wears on, there will be legal challenges. They will have to show that there is some difference between BSN prepared students and AS...

I'm not anti-BSN. I'm just not anti-ASN. If I'm ever required to have a BSN to fill a square, I'll get it as cheaply and quickly online as I can. I'll find the closest thing to a degree mill I can get away with and that will by my Alma Mater for the ...

I don't know why you all act like all you can get is crap jobs with an ASN. I've worked in a cardiac ICU, regular ICU, psychiatry, and now ER. So, it's not like ASNs are relegated to peri-care at a homeless shelter. Where I live, and also what repres...

Because some people in their hearts are evil. I'm not. You're not. So, we don't understand it. It's one thing to strike out in anger. We all do bad things on an impulse at times, but to calculatingly lie in order to hurt someone is not bad; it's evil...

I'd be glad to agree to get a BSN--so long as the hospital was paying the tuition. But, I've never worked in the North East. I would rather self-immolate than work in a big city hospital (Just the thought of the traffic and parking alone make me reac...

Yeah...that's called "social media."

Love hopes all things. If you don't love her enough to have hope for her, then just stay out of her way. Everyone has the right to take a shot at redemption. That's what I think, anyway. And being addicted and in rehab, even multiple times, is not a ...
