  1. Witnessed a terrible death last night--pls help me...

    Nitngale replied to Annebug's topic in General Nursing

    I understand, to a lesser degree, what you went through. I'm not a nurse but will be going to school for lvn. My sister and I cared for our Mother at home for eight years. She was in a 'coma' from '97...

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    . The assumption that children are a burden on society is just wrong. The Children are the basis of our future as a country. Denying education or health care to our own citizens is bad public policy....

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    sorry I didn't respond sooner, just saw your post. Since none of us were there and we get our info from the 'media', my opinion was developed by a doctor they interviewed at the time of the accident....

  4. Western Career College??

    Nitngale replied to nursemelani's topic in LPN to RN

    Don't forget that you can also apply for federal and state grants (meaning they don't have to be repaid) I know there is the Pell Grant in CA and another one. My experience with all those science...

  5. Proof There's No Nursing Shortage: Show RN's the MONEY

    Nitngale replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, there is no nursing shortage. Just as there is no shortage of doctors or engineers. This is an excuse to import (mostly from third world countries) those whom would work cheaper then...

  6. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    This is just my humble opinion, which is allowed under Ms Ruby's diversity quote. I would like you to ask the next ten non hospital affiliated people you meet if they think nurses have direct patient...

  7. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Well put

  8. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Actually Ms. Ruby, the reason for the break up of nursing duties was a monetary one. Back in the day, the nurse didn't do alot of things because there was a more limited technology. By breaking up...

  9. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    You can not be rational and do irrational things--just by definition alone. Unless it's the insanity defense. The patient was irrational at the moment of the outburst. There are many different types...

  10. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah and then without ever getting out of bed, they phone the charge nurse, asking the nurse's assesment which means that the nurse is actually diagnosing. I witnessed this in the ICU (as a visitor)....

  11. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    Nitngale replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    You know I can see your point on staff and management but the patients are ill and have more reason to be 'mean'. I don't get some of you guys. Nursing is about sick, injured, and old people. It's not...

  12. Being a man in the field

    Nitngale replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't agree with the term "sexist". It has a legal conatation which points toward discrimination. I've worked almost exclusively with men in male dominated jobs my whole life and there is a...

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe they're just bad at trauma:rolleyes: I think it's the wine keepin' them

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry about your Mother, SpaceNurse. I don't know how much I would trust European healthcare since the botched job they did on Princess Di back in

  15. Being a man in the field

    Nitngale replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Rich et al: let me clarify what I said. I said 'society', not me, put those labels on men as well as women. As for empathy, I think that is gained more from experience than genetics. But women have a...

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mexico has never really been an autonomous country. Even their presidents today are educated in America (Yale or Harvard) and then sent back as little puppets. That is why Mexico could never enforce...

  17. Is Med-Surg Mandatory?

    Nitngale replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks for the info! It sounds like you should have multiply personalities to work

  18. Is US30 per hour in San Francisco a good starting salary?

    Nitngale replied to FutureUSRN's topic in California Nursing

    Let's not generalize. Lets's be quite specific. I feel that as long as there is an American that is qualified and wants a job at the 'normal' rate----that the job should go to an American (I'm talking...

  19. Is Med-Surg Mandatory?

    Nitngale replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry to be so ignorant (I'm pre LPN), but what exactly is med/surg? It sounds like an Intensive Care

  20. Is US30 per hour in San Francisco a good starting salary?

    Nitngale replied to FutureUSRN's topic in California Nursing

    This is a good example of how these corporate hospitals are reaching out to foreign nurses and undercutting the pay. If only they could oursource the patients, there'd be no nursing jobs in the US at...

  21. NEW GRAD NURSE with LICENSE can't find work...

    Nitngale replied to loveandnyc's topic in California Nursing

    I can't even believe this thread! What happened to the nursing 'shortage'? Maybe it's just another excuse to bring in foreign nurses and underpay

  22. Being a man in the field

    Nitngale replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

  23. help me please(Ukraine)

    Nitngale replied to Dennis78's topic in International Nursing

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You don't need to qualify that you're not racist. This isn't about race. I don't want illegal Chinese, Dutch, East Indian etc... What does look racist is the new ruling that anyone here illegally...

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

    Nitngale replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe they didn't assimilate during the 1800's (and it would have been the Mexicans and Americans not the Spainish and English) but the early Mexicans did. Today's immigrants have no desire to...
