    Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    Multicollinearity replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    I have the FLU!!! What now??

    Multicollinearity replied to ShortStackRN's topic in General Students

    Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    Multicollinearity replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    Why I'm Not an Anti-Vaxer

    Multicollinearity replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had some moments of being "anti swine flu vax" when the vaccine was first coming out and there was confusion about the adjuvant thing. However, I do not believe there are any adjuvants in this...

    How do you feel about this?

    Multicollinearity replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

    As long as hospitals are run by for-profit corporations motivated by a business/customer service/dividends to shareholders approach, and not nursing and medical professionalism, we will see this...

    Link between Seasonal Flu Vax and Propensity to Contract Swine Flu?

    Multicollinearity replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel like I'm stating the obvious that was probably considered by the experts, but here goes. Couldn't it just be that those with underlying health problems are more likely to get the seasonal flu...

    Help Please!! Should I stay in nursing school?

    I didn't read her comment that way. She also said she's very sensitive and cries easily. With that info, I read her statement "nurses can't be sympathetic" as something akin to nurses cannot fall...

    Are you a "Professor", or a "Mrs."?

    Multicollinearity replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Are you a "Professor", or a "Mrs."?

    Multicollinearity replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I continue to be surprised that our instructors ask us to call them by their first names. In our orientation we were told this is the culture of the nursing program. This is the case at community...
