“Science” for the flu shot is about 9-18% effective in recent years and exposes you to metal adjuvants that are highly neurotoxic. When I hear a nurse espouse this flu propaganda I am dead certain...
I’m weighing in. I disagree that anyone learns to be emotionally tough. This is pure personality (and actually personality has been studied extensively). I am fairly unemotional, with a very low...

Should I start displaying my other degrees and credentials as well, or just the nursing related stuff? Really? How about displaying your licensure: RN? In no other profession do they list their...

Oh please. I’m not entirely sure about the age of this male nurse (OP) but nursing is a business and many of us understand that this is a JOB. We have families and lives outside of work and aren’t...

I regret it every day, it takes a toll on your body. But I’m easily employed and I won’t complain there. My main gripe is that nurses promote the Florence Nightengale story to guilt trip us into...

It isn’t difficult compared to other BS degrees which often have more rigorous science requirements. The BSN is minimal. Nursing school is hazing. Just get through

You've got to be kidding! Don't let ANYONE guilt trip you into putting your life at risk for ANY reason. I do disagree with this "patients first" bs. There wouldn't BE any care if it wasn't for you...

Oh there's a shortage all right but it's a planned shortage! With plenty of nurses, facilities understaff on purpose based on a cost/risk analysis. This leads to higher turnover, higher recruitment...

Wow, bad advice to the OP. My first year as a nurse I fell for this idea that I could sacrifice my own well-being for my patients/to get the work done. That sure changed fast!! A student should be...

Farawyn, I didn't mention "hate" did I? But the notion of "equality" in this context is highly flawed. What are you unequal to? What rights and choices do you not have? I'm sorry but I find the notion...

Thanks Feelix, this man-hating "equality" business is absolutely ridiculous. People keep THEMSELVES down and nursing is hardly a patriarchy. Neo-feminism has become another way for the militant left...

Oh my, where do I start? The nursing collective as it appears to be referred to by many here is not much of a collective at all. Our common thread is our license. Aside from this, nursing is still...
