1. does therapeutic touch belong in grad programs?

   reformednurse replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate

   Is that what I said? Hmm. It seems to me that he who can't find a legitimate argument feels the need to ridicule the other belief. This is not psuedo-science. Many credentialed phyicians and scientists who have done pharmaceutical research have come ...

   Well said. When we close the door to possibilities we only limit ourselves. Real science is about limitless possiblities. All the rest is dogma.

   Well, its not Einstein's theory, its Quantam physics. Maybe a book on Quantam physics would help you understand it better. I'm very afraid for nursing. Does anyone actually care about the patient anymore? Science proves exactly what it wants to prove...

   Have you read any books on Quantum physics lately? Modern medicine in still based in Newtonian physics and not even in Einsteinian physics, which is also way in the past. This is not about religion or some airy-fairy idea of "vapors" and "ghosts". It...

   This varies by state, since some states don't have uniform licensing. From the programs I've looked at, you already, as an RN, have most of the "extra" training these programs offer. There are techniques that are more complex and require extra traini...

   Thank you for saying it so well.

   Witchcraft? Really? Well, how about if we all pray that most nurses don't think like you that the only real work nurses can do is give drugs and monitor side effects with "assessments". Nursing without the spiritual aspect (notice I left all the reli...

8. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

   reformednurse replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

   The part that bothers me the most is "they shouldn't have to do these tasks." Nursing is about more than giving drugs that ultimately do more harm than good. Nursing is about touching, healing, and caring. Healing and caring involve making the patien...

9. A 1,000,000 National RN shortage by 2010?

   reformednurse replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona

   Well, congrats, marygirl, and I hope nursing is everything you hoped it would be and more, and that you are able to bring healing into your work.

10. Homesick for Cottonwood

    reformednurse replied to Spiritwalker's topic in Arizona

    Just moving to Prescott Valley from California. Can't say I'm too happy with the board of nursing in Arizona, but I'm not sure I wanted that nursing license anyway and will just continue doing my massage therapy.

11. A 1,000,000 National RN shortage by 2010?

    reformednurse replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona

    Happens all the time in California as well, but flu season is the worst. When people realize they must stop depending upon the "sick care' system to fix them and start taking care of their immune systems, the "health care" system will be back in bala...

12. I am in hell

    reformednurse replied to CANewRN's topic in Arizona

    I would try another school. Maybe start with an ADN and then go from there. As a long time RN, I'm so unbelievably frustrated with the state of nursing these days. If we are so short of nurses, why are we making it so hard to become one or stay in nu...

    Bless you for trying to include healing in nursing education. I wish you the best of luck with that.

    reformednurse replied to nurseyperson's topic in Entrepreneurs

    Unfortunately, I have heard this story before. Have you considered also selling products to boost your income? There are some excellent product lines out there both network marketing and retail products that could help your bottom line and help you c...

15. Nurse Massage Therapy

    reformednurse replied to nurseyperson's topic in Entrepreneurs

    A hospice patient who is 99 years old and a retired RN told me that massage therapy was part of her nursing ciricullum. Amazing how we get things right and then change them so they can be "progressive".
