Do any of you know of any books out there that discuss nursing issues from the male perspective? I've read Suzanne Gordon's books and enjoyed them but she only touched on the subject. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone work in a positive work environment? You know, good teamwork or maybe good Dr.- nurse relations. i seen lots of ventings threads (understandably) but not many on the posi side of things. I'll start: I'm learning to be a UC and I'm terrrib...

Please note that I fully understand and realize its very neccesary for people to have a place to vent and I'm not condemning anyone at all for ever doing so. I also know there are many more good things that occur that UC and nurses have different str...

I'm in the NSNA. Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

Some med schools in Africa have a nurse rotation in their curriculum where students basically "shadow" nurses for about 4 weeks. But personally I think you should apply.

I've been wait listed from my desired ADN program but my local CC offers a 10 month anesthesia assistant program. Since I want to be a CRNA in the long run do you think its worth my time to take these courses?

All valid points I'm taking into consideration. Thanks a lot for you're perspectives. I didn't know hospitals did that for anes. techs. I'm definately going to look into it. There are so many hospitals around here, one of them has to offer that progr...

This questiion is out of order. hahaha

I understand what you're saying but still it is a hair on the sexist side to be honest.Its just the nature of the conversation though.

Contact your state's borad of nursing. Most generally have a website an you can order one online. Good luck.

To answer your question, yes it will make a difference. But you might want to other CNAs on their forum. This is particualr forum os for aspiring CRNAs. GOOD LUCK!!!

It was mostly for the experience and references for when I apply to CRNA school inthe future. I figured it would make sense since I won't be going to nursing school for a little while and I could be an anesthesia tech will in nursing school as previo...

Yes that is what I meant. Thank you for the advice!

I too have read this and was wondering about a concrete explanation. It seems potential salary cut as well from what I gather. But then again I don't exactly know what I'm talking about? haha

Not to be a downer or anything but I have noticed some harsh things said about patients and sometimes even co workers in my unit when they think no one else can hear them. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Have you thought about staying in the UK for your schooling?I spent a massive part of my life in Manc and Westham and considered going back to university there.I just can't find any info UK APRN degrees in the States. Any insight would be appreciated...

Congrats to you and the rest of the class of 2006. I won't even be startig CRNA school until 2010 or 2011. P.S. Keep us up to date on your dual practice it sounds very interesting.

Agreed. Black American is my favorite of the alternatives personallyI think it shows pride in being American and pride for having African roots. I mean the last person that called me as an African American assumed I hunted down animals with spears ca...

There is no one clear right answer only some very distinct wrong ones.You've obviously have chosen several of the former.My family taught me about culture through the arts and sports.Might work for your family too?

I was just speaking from what I know.I visited America many times before but I haven't lived here for all that long.The guy who I live with is of African descent but was born in England and raised here read your post and strongly agrees.He broke dow...

Not to get off subject or anything but as an African born in Africa I can tell you that a LARGE number of Africans really don't like to be called black.Also a lot of us don't like the fact that Africans in America not born in Africa call themselves A...

Race is no accident.Look into the history of Africa it will tell you about what happend to the first few tribes that left and why different skin colors started to arise eventually. A lot had to do with diet and the nitrients people get from the sun.A...

I started my first day of orienttion today as a unit clerk for the ED.A new position at a new hospital for me btw.I have no experience but this post sure does ease my nervous tension about my new job. P.S. congrats and good luck Jenni H with your new...

There is a technique where they take take out the nucleus of one particular cell and put in the nucleus of a different type of cell.No embryos are destroyed but however its very new and the cells with the new nuclei inside of them don't posses the ab...

No offense or anything but if you're not an American that assumed that then the question wasn't directed towards you.I directed it towards the posters that are from America that did assume that it was a black white issue.It wasn't a blanket statement...
