  1. Advice for an aspiring CRNA?

    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 gpa. You start out with a new gpa for your second...
  2. Italian culture?

    Hi guys, I need some help finding some information. My group and I have to do a cultural presentation for out Intro to Nursing class and we decided to pick the Italian culture. We have to try and focus on finding information relating to the hospita...
  3. How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

    Just remember to have respect. What I mean is if it was your dead body there in front of you (God forbid), how would you want the body handled? I assume you would want it to be done properly. Death is part of life so just continue proper care know...
  4. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    I could be a teller right out of high school and make $12/hr starting with full benefits. $11 an hour, ya right.
  5. I can't be a nurse?

    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 they receive the "okay" from the health center.
  6. what is generic nursing?

    At my school the generic nursing program (BSN) is the regualr program (6 semesters 2 semesters a year). Every other program in the nursing department isn't generic nursing. For instance, we have a accelerated BSN which consists of the same exact co...
  7. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    For Lizz and Mercyteapot: Please read pages 3-6 of Freakonomics and that will explain about the crime rates I was talking about. Freakonomics: a rogue economist explores the... - Google Book Search And sorry I didn't respond earlier. I don't post ve...
  8. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    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 respect for that person. I would keep my cool and I ...
  9. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    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 better understanding of that concept instead of the ex...
  10. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    Are you trying to be funny because that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
  11. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    It's kind of off the subject but one interesting topic we went over in my econ class was crime rates. You're right that the 3 strikes law has caused a decrease in crime but not by much. The biggest reason? Abortion. Because of Roe vs. Wade aborti...
  12. Where were u 9/11/01?

    I first saw the new in the morning and then realized what was really happening in my 12th grade English class. The teacher cancelled the lecture and activities for the day and we just watched the news in class. I can't believe it's been five years ...
  13. 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 because the enforcement sucks doesn't mean they hav...
  14. 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 the door is open doesn't mean you give another pe...
  15. RN to MD anyone? Feeling unsupported.

    If your looking for support you have mine. But I would suggest that you disregard all of the negative things people are telling you. You have the support of your family so there is no need to get support from anyone else even though it would be nic...
  16. Being a man in the field

    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 women in the class so everything was just fine. Plus...
  17. Guys, how should I handle this?

    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 are friends and colleages so there is some lee-way(s...
  18. What gift to buy for a new nurse?

    I liked the pda and stetoscope ideas but you don't necessarily have to buy him nursing related gifts.
  19. did any of you double major?

    Working on Nursing and Economics
  20. Nursing is like the atmosphere. The more you climb the less air you have to breathe and then you get hit by a plane at 35,000 feet. (I couldn't think of anything and this sounded funny so...)
  21. "Hardened" Healthcare Providers

    I think what you did was right but geez, what kind of life was that patient living to end up in that kind of position? It makes me seem sad and angry at the same time when people don't take care of themselves at all. I don't expect people to be per...
  22. Does this bother you?

    It just sounds funny. Saving lives and giving medications (sometimes narcs) but you still have 2 or 3 years left before you can legally drink.
  23. Teaching Pharm-I need your input

    For my nutrition class my professor provided PowerPoints but left 5-10 blank spaces per page that way as students were following along they could fill in the information one page after another. This helped keep us students more focused on the lectur...
  24. 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 like a woman. I love flowers also (Lilacs - beaut...
  25. Try emailing a chemistry professor at one of the colleges nearby (or far away, I guess it doesn't matter either way) and they probably have experience with chemical stains and how to remove them.
