    oakbourne replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    oakbourne replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  3. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    oakbourne replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    oakbourne replied to jam0516's topic in General Nursing

    Some doctors make it really easy to speak to, while others are well....jerks, ego maniacs and love the power trip of being a doctor. They will never be easy to converse with, so have your Ducks in A...

    oakbourne replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    oakbourne replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    To all you naysayers: I am a nurse I am proud. I stand by what I said. If you don't believe it..fine, get a LIFE and move on. If you continue with this, it becomes your

  8. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Avyah, If you don't want to drop it, you must think there is some validity to what I have written. 1993 was a whole different world than it is now. I will stick to my beliefs and you stick to yours. I...

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    AYVAH, You are quite naive' to think the media would spread what Hillary, the golden women, the brilliant one said in 1993. The MEDIA covered her with armour, so she could say whatever she wanted to...

  11. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    oakbourne replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    This is to all the people who want to doubt what I said about Clinton. I heard this garbage that she shouted concerning nurses on the radio in rural Georgia. Don't know the station call letters but it...

  13. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    oakbourne replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Indiawhitaker, As I have repeated this many times before, Hilary Clinton has said, and I quote "Nurses are overpaid and underworked" and another retired nurse heard her say, "Nurses are not worth...

  14. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    oakbourne replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    By all mean it should be a felony offense. Why not may I ask?? If something is not done to protect nurses who put their lives on the line everyday....some nurse will be hurt or killed. We really have...
