  1. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    buddhak0n replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just a novel concept.... Let's make the Nursing and medical profession the same as like any other "business" profession.. you know like one where if you don't complete the project, or close the sale,...

  4. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  6. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not lacking compassion for those that are sick or injured. I'm questioning more the "necessity" of certain educational requirements as barriers to entry into the field. The two are quite...

  9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    buddhak0n replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of my favorites... LOL.. sorry too many of these stories seem "concocted" for their shock value.. I'm sure there's one or two that have some basis other than the overworked, impressionable...

  15. why are we technicians?

    buddhak0n replied to FlGasman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to "attack" you just let you know what I think and I just thought you were wasting a whole lot of time on what everybody ELSE thinks about YOU. I would support you in whatever you do.....

  16. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    buddhak0n replied to Wsmith16's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My "point" exactly........ And it's not like there isn't a place for people who are more talented at the theoretical facets of the "craft". But at the same time, making a prospective "2nd" Degree...

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    buddhak0n replied to HeatherAnn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
