  2. Advice from Last Year Nursing Student

    Cosper123 replied to CrazyHands's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to disagree with the OP. I barely scraped by in Chem and I am doing just fine in the nursing program. And by scape by I mean a 71, and that is what absolutely killed my otherwise great GPA....

  5. Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem is not that you are biased, the problem is that you throw around the word "bias" in such a negative light. So ok, you admit you are biased, so stop labeling others as biased in an attempt...

  6. Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The main thing here is that preventative care will always be cheaper than acute care. Where pregnant women and children are concerned, I really do not see how any fiscal conservative could deny the...

  7. Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please stop crying bias when every other sentance from you is political hackery. Assumptions of what the liberal thing to do is, equating France (freedom fries, anyone? laughable) as a welfare state...

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  9. Patient as Customer model of healthcare

    Cosper123 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Two things that concern me about the "customer" label. Firstly, the title implies and leads to what the patients wants instead of needs. Patients should NOT be making decisions about what they need,...

  10. Only been a nurse for 4 months

    Cosper123 replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    IMO you are really selling yourself short here if you quit already. Consider all of the time you have put into your education. The longs hours of study and clinicals...with all of the outside...

  11. Anyone else "caught" MRSA?

    Cosper123 replied to Julie frm Dallas's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    lol yep get used to it. It simply is not a question of if, it is when. If everyone took the care that they could, it wouldn't be a problem...but hell...I've seen people go in and not foam out, use...

    Cosper123 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What would i do? Well the easy answer is tell him where he can stick it Seriously though...tell him what you just told us. What right does he have to be so critical when he does so very little? And...

  13. to aspirate or not while giving insulin and flu vaccines

    Cosper123 replied to ginger43's topic in General Nursing

    May help to consider the intent behind aspiration...in that you don't want to enter directly into the bloodstream something intended for a slower absorption... With a flu shot however, it's not like...

  14. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    Cosper123 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Fact is there are many "negative" aspects of the nursing program. Truth be told however, we are absolutely blessed to be having such strains and problems...especially considering how hard it is to get...

  15. A & P II in the Summer 07

    Cosper123 replied to PiperLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that big of a deal...I had no probs with it and that was with a teacher switch off in the middle of it and an infant at home. If you don't have to worry about work or children it will be a...

  17. ICU vs. L&D

    Cosper123 replied to mkurek's topic in General Nursing

    I feel you'd be best off going ICU first for a couple of reasons. You are automatically drawn to L&D as mentioned in the last post, but it's important to keep your eyes on the prize...which in...
