    The Circumcision Discussion

    mvanz9999 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah...I never understood this argument. I feel strongly that this is actually the way you say. So the DAD looks like the son. Because for the life of me, I cannot ever recall seeing my Dad's...

    The Circumcision Discussion

    mvanz9999 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My point exactly. Thank you. That being that if routine circumcision was stopped, most men would be intact, and this nonsense about "looking like Daddy" would

    The Circumcision Discussion

    mvanz9999 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think this issue is the actual procedure, but rather the end result. I am fully aware of the result. All I can think is that we don't routinely remove anything else. It does have a...

    Sharps Containers in Public Restrooms?

    mvanz9999 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of think street drugs are the reason for the sharps around here. I don't think the casinos have a higher than normal ratio of diabetics in the

    Sharps Containers in Public Restrooms?

    mvanz9999 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Oh! Oh! Oh! Me too!!!! There are thousands upon thousands of public facilities here, but the only place I have ever seen them is at the casino.

    How to fund a RN-MSN education

    mvanz9999 replied to mazzini148's topic in Post Graduate Students

    "They" are the scammers at FICO. And you're right. Apply for a credit card, and your score drops through the floor. The other thing is just the plain astronomical cost of education. The $200+...

    How competitive is it to get into grad school?

    mvanz9999 replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The state program is much harder to get into than the private university program. At least in Illinois. State school is quite competitive. 300+ applications for 40 seats. I'm not quite sure why...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have been reading this, and will offer my un-qualified opinion. Basically what I think is this: direct-entry programs are here to stay. Yes, they are new, but they have been around long enough...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, the two I am looking at are different. One allows you to take the NCLEX after 15 months (but does not give you a degree). You then start working as an RN while completing the program over the...

    UIC Grad School

    mvanz9999 replied to MidwestRN34's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Depaul has roughly 50-100 people for 40 spots. UIC has hundreds of applicants for 40 spots. I don't know who told you that about UIC, but they've got WAY higher ratios of applicants to spots....

    UIC Grad School

    mvanz9999 replied to MidwestRN34's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I have applied to UIC as well. No one can tell you what the number of interviewees or ratio accepted is going to be this year, since it would vary year to year. I haven't been invited for the...

    What is an A&P Lab Exam Like?

    mvanz9999 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience is the same as the others. Lab classes usually have stations setup with either actual body parts or slides and you have 1 minute to look at the object and write down what it

    voluntary overtime

    mvanz9999 replied to sunneeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all the above posters. It's not your fault they chose to do it. You also can't be held responsible for their frustration. If they don't have it in them to say no, not your

    Empathic part of nursing

    mvanz9999 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    And that's exactly why I respect nurses (and want to become one). Precisely because medicine doesn't address all issues. Like you've said, she needs emotional/spiritual comfort and information, not...

    Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    The fatting of America.

    mvanz9999 replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being sarcastic? I hope so. Exercise is part of daily routine. If I "don't have time" I just don't do whatever it is that prevents me from exercising. I'm not going to be a lot of good if...

    What is a nurse?

    mvanz9999 replied to Tiwi's topic in General Nursing

    Hm....well....as a layperson, I would say the nurse is the "comforter". I haven't had much medical treatment, but the treatment I have had....it's the nurse that I remember. The nurse held my hand...

    ICUs in Chicago

    I'm facing the same problem in Illinois. Your GPA is from your first undergrad only (last 60 hours). I could take 1,000 hours of post bachelor's classes, have a 4.0 and they wouldn't care. What's...
