  2. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    VIXEN007 replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I considered med school. I even took the pre-reqs and sat for the MCAT. I didn't get in. It was suggested that I go overseas to Granada or the Virgin Islands. I didn't want to do that. So, I got an...

  3. Career switching advice

    VIXEN007 replied to Spartan05's topic in General Nursing

    I know an engineer who decided he wanted to go to D.O. school. He made it. Quite a few Orthopedic surgeons had engineering degrees. They even use their engineering experience to design instruments or...

    VIXEN007 replied to mimmy123's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that I never have to write about that. I am sick of diversity. Why do we get beat over the head with diversity and political correctness? Just follow the Golden Rule. I have found that most...

  5. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    VIXEN007 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I didn't have to work either. There is no other way. If I borrowed enough money to cover school and living expenses, I would be over $100 grand in debt when I got out. Nursing School will cost...

  6. Burn Nursing Not For Me

    VIXEN007 replied to NewBeeNurse's topic in Burn

    Burn nursing is tough. The patients require so much care. Also, you have to take call. Some burn nurses hang tough for a few years and then burn out. Others can't take it and realize it early on. I...

  8. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    VIXEN007 replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have said, look, I can't help you right now. My first priority is the child. Either you can wait for me to take care of the child or you can go to the information desk and get help

    VIXEN007 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I grew up poor and in the projects. Yes, I learned to grow tomatoes in a coffee can. You can also grow lettuce in sawed off milk cartons. We picked strawberries at one of the U-Pick-It places and...

  11. Which Instrument Should I Pick?

    VIXEN007 replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I play the piano and violin. I started with the piano first. You may want to do the same. Playing the piano will teach you to read music on the grand staff. That will make easier for you when you add...

  12. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    VIXEN007 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ditto on the above post! I am sorry that some people refuse to accept responsibility for their actions and produce children that they are unable to properly care for. I work and make a decent living,...

  13. Can a nursing student and family survive on one income?

    VIXEN007 replied to Sebastiansmom09's topic in General Nursing

  17. online ADN or BSN programs without previous experience?

    VIXEN007 replied to firstyearRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I do not believe there is a way to do this. If so, I would have found it. I too have an undergrad and grad degree in a non-nursing field. I decided to go the ADN route, because I could get in without...

    VIXEN007 replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto on the above post. When I was a kid, we spent time outside on our bikes, if we had them, or running if we didn't. We did not spend all day sitting in front of computer games and eating junk...

  22. We don't need over-priced insurance - we need Guaranteed Healthcare.

    VIXEN007 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The idea of guaranteed insurance really scares me. I remember debating this issue of healthcare as a right or privilege in many HealthCare Administration courses. If you ever look at socialized...
