  1. I really dont know what to do

    Quark09 replied to Matt 2be RN's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, though, LIFE is a major stress ride; there's no way to get around that! As the poster above mentioned, there are 2 year ADN programs; I'm enrolled in one now -- and yes, while it is...

  2. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are completely contradicting yourself here...you don't believe in helping those "who don't even try" (and by this you point the finger at a single mom, several children, with no job/on welfare);...

  3. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  5. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    a simple blood test for cotinine, which is the major byproduct of nicotine, confirms tobacco use. Overeating/sedentary lifestyle speaks for itself. And this already occurs with allocation of...

  6. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I have said (several times now): the resource priority should go to the person who is not engaging in self-destructive behavior. If you read my previous posts, I believe I've been quite clear....

  7. can a recovering addict get into nursing

    Quark09 replied to tumnus's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm not sure of what the legalities are, but I do hope that you're able to go into nursing. I think having a background like that may give you some insight into what others in your (previous)...

  8. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again, I am not trying to say that people who make those choices should not receive care at all, I am saying that when it comes to allocating resources, priority should go to those who aren't...

  9. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The point I was trying to make earlier was that some (not all) people are not taking an active role in their health; they are expecting to be fixed while continuing to engage in detrimental behavior....

    Amen to that! I think I read a joke on this site somewhere that said "you know you're a nurse when you vow to have DNR tattooed on your

  11. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Quark09 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Although in the big picture this would seem to be more cost-effective, when it comes to individual care it seems very harsh. As the child of parents with various health issues, I'd hate to be sitting...

    Quark09 replied to freedom22's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely admire you for continuing your education. I plan to begin NP school (part-time as well) after a few years with clinical RN experience (still finishing my ADN program right now; I have a...

  13. Any projections for nursing employment in the current and near future economy?

    Quark09 replied to Saifudin's topic in General Nursing

    Everything I've been reading over the past year makes me pretty comfortable with the security of the nursing industry. One article I read near the end of last year had nursing listed as one of the...

  14. Arrrgh! Impossible Instructor!

    Quark09 replied to Quark09's topic in General Students

    We are given a few minutes after tests are handed back to go over them and address any issues. However, the probelm lies more with having to fact-check any info she gives us...I caught the...

    Quark09 posted a topic in General Students

  17. Single Parents Nurses and Nursing Students

    Quark09 replied to KEYLATI's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered not going through such an accelerated program? I'm a single mom of a two-year-old, and I'm going through a regular 2-year ADN college, with plans to continue to my Master's via a...

  18. LPN or RN

    Quark09 replied to nursewanabe's topic in General Nursing
