    If you already have a BS in Biology than the nursing degree you are going for would be a second bachelor's. Is this what you're doing? If so, generally the two bachelor's degree each have their own...

  3. How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

    arelius replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

  5. I can't be a nurse?

    arelius replied to Doofy's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt the nursing program needs to know the details. Take care of it through the health center at your school and once they clear it, it should be fine. I think the nursing program only cares if...

  8. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    arelius replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    The point I was trying to make is I would not respect a person if they are being disrespectful to me. If someone told me to get some "testes" and become a EMT or a doctor then, no, I would not have...

  9. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    arelius replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter what their age is. If they want respect they need to be respectful also. And wouldn't it make more sense for an elderly person who having gone through a long life would have a...

  11. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    arelius replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    arelius replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It doesn't matter if the enforcement isn't top notch. The fact is it is illegal to cross the border and those illegals know that. That is why they sometimes hire coyotes, dig tunnels, etc... Just...

  14. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    arelius replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Last I checked it was illegal to cross the border without permission. The door isn't open, the door is closed but many illegal immigrants decide to open the door one way or another. And just because...

    arelius replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    arelius replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's not at all uncomfortable. Most of us are friends who have known each other in other classes like Anatomy, Physiology, Chem, etc...so going into the nursing classes I already knew many of the...

  17. Guys, how should I handle this?

    arelius replied to jov's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with you. That kind of reaction is unprofessional and should be kept to a minimum in the classroom and completely erased in the clinical setting. I understand that in the classroom people...

  21. "Hardened" Healthcare Providers

    arelius replied to cwinlv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    arelius replied to Bala Shark's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sure we don't have to prove it, but we also don't need to conform to old traditions that make us feel feminine. I don't have to prove I'm a man, but I don't want to make a case against myself that I'm...
