This was on Discovery Health and was speaking of a very rare phenomenon where a woman was a Chimera. When she was conceived, the two zygotes that would have otherwise formed fraternal twins, actually completely fused together. When she was born, s...

I am just curious about something here. I am very, very concerned and alarmed at the number of folks that I have seen on the board that have student loans of $60K $80K $100K for an undergrad. The payments on that are so incredibly staggaring I don't ...

For those of us that are starting our nursing careers in our 30's and 40's, how much do you feel that it will imped our ability to advance our careers? Do hospitals want to promote younger folks because they will be around longer?

I'm selling my house, all of my furniture, quit my job, moving out of a state where I have lived for 11 years, and moving as an adult with a baby back in with my Dad who is my sole supporter. I've been making notes of all of the nuttiness in my journ...

A very close friend of mine, her mother-in-law, "Sandy" is the primary caregiver of her 14-year-old g-daughter "Candice". Candice's mother, unfortunately, keeps going through a string of boyfriends and has pretty much abandoned Candice. Candice has ...

I don't know if it will work or not, but speak to the head of Admissions and see if they would be willing to take a high school transcript that was received by the college where you were first enrolled. Some colleges will accept that, some won't, but...

Then that makes sense...so obviously the staff doesn't have to worry about their privacy...you would think they would comply to protect the children.

I was so emotional to the point of complete detachment from my child...I highly suspect that it was because she was a preemie born by c-section. I felt like I had surgery, but I had an overwhelming feeling that I didn't really have a baby and they j...

Because they want to start their "vacation" early when they are supposed to be working on getting grades out.

I'm curious as to why an adult can't keep track of their own meds. Is it because children might get ahold of them? If that is the case, then I agree. However, if that isn't the reason for the policy, they are adults, and camp is like any other job....

From what I understand, the vaccine will not necessarily prevent you from getting chicken pox, however, it does prevent you from getting the "full dose" of the disease. It used to scar horribly...not unlike smallpox...it wasn't a death sentence like ...

I really think that nurse needs to get out of the NICU. That area is hard enough on the parents without someone like her with a horrible attitude towards parents trying to do the right thing.

The girls that work in those places probably got rejected at Hooters.

I don't like male doctors or a male nurse for intimate things like pelvic exams, but speaking from a legal protection only....if I was a guy, this is what I would do... If the examining physician was a female, and the nurse was a male assist, then I ...

How was the pinning ceremony? And the million dollar question...caps or no caps?

Yup, they are supposed to make an adjustment. I made $56,000 in 2005 and qualified for maxed out subsidized Stafford loans for 2006/2007 for $10,500. Had I not had a degree already, I would have also qualified for Pell Grants. It was at a public col...

BLACKBERRIES! My Mom and Grandma were both nurses and they SWORE that blackberries killed the runnies after they had been through every med in the hospital. When I was in college, I had one of those 24-hour stomach flu's, and I was working in a rest...

OMG...I haven't even started the program yet and that sounded HUGE to me!

No, there is no Federal Law on what a company has to pay you for working a particular day, regardless of what day it is, or that they even have to give you time off for any particular holiday, religious event, or anything like that. Overtime is the o...

At a company I worked for at the Christmas party, they gave away TWO $55,000 BMW's.

You are very welcome. The majority of my experience is in home lending, and you won't be in the USA to know that the vast majority of loans for homes are invested with Fannie Mae and Freddic Mac, so no matter what bank you go to, it is their guidelin...

I just wanted to post that when coming to the USA, you need to establish at minimum, 4 lines of credit as soon as possible. I worked in lending for 10 years before quitting my job and trying for nursing school. I always recommend two major credit c...

It is so, so sad that it is a stereotype of male nurses, and I wouldn't blame any guy for being upset about that. There are so few male nurses, and it's hard to figure out where it came from. I don't think that male nurses should be forced to wear "...

The next time you ask the secretary to do something and she doesn't follow through, look her dead in the eye and say, "So what you are telling me is that you are refusing to put the orders in? Just let me know so I can inform the charge nurse, and I...

I read the link that you posted, and it was very clear...you have to APPLY for legal status to stay in this country before you are eligible for the tuition benefits it describes. The reason it doesn't say anything about a working student is because i...
