    'Dumbing Down of Healthcare'

    manna replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, just a note - at the schools here, general bio is NOT a pre-req for anatomy. You know, this reminds me. I live in a very small town. So our small town gossipy newspaper puts photos of all the...

    Peircings

    manna replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to have a facial piercing - guess I'm an alterna-freak kinda girl... but my ultra-conservative job won't allow it, and I don't imagine nursing school will either. Oh well - for the...

    CNA for BSN

    manna replied to FutureNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's odd that you say that most require, since of all the schools in my state (that I can think of), only one I'm aware of requires CNA completion for admission. I don't see how it'd hurt, but...

    How do you support yourself in Nursing School??

    manna replied to Spoiled1's topic in General Students

    I'm taking out as many scholarships and applying for as many grants as possible. Luckily, looks like I'll get enough to cover expenses and have some left over for living expenses. I'll probably take...

    manna replied to angelique777's topic in General Nursing

    I think there's a thread on this subject in the Student forum right now? Try looking there (or use the search button) - or possibly someone will chime in with a good suggestion sometime soon.

    Another question about religion and God

    manna replied to Faye714's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet) - but the older I get, the more skeptical I get. I used to consider myself a Christian, but now I think I'm more of a borderline agnostic/seeker. I'd like to believe in the...

    Did you work full time while going to school?

    manna replied to Faye714's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked full-time while doing all my pre-reqs (frosh/sophomore year of college).. but I'll either be finding a different part-time job or quitting work altogether this fall when I enroll in...

    nursing education

    Women's Health NP or....?

    manna replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    I think Vandy has a combined WHNP/CNM program... I'd think that the FNP might offer more flexibility if you ever decided to move onto something other than strictly women's health, but I don't know...

    manna replied to jusWannaKno's topic in General Nursing

    The internet is a goldmine of information... surely there is a website somewhere for adult circumcision. However, I don't know of one personally. Good luck!

    A Day in the Life of a Nurse

    manna replied to nursemichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Could you try to shadow a nurse for a day? That'd probably give you a more realistic picture of what the lifestyle/duties are like. There are some websites with that type of information on them...

    Online Microbiology

    manna replied to Hopegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I would not take any difficult, lab-based science online unless it was absolutely necessary and/or unless you were a VERY strong and VERY motivated...

    nursing dynasty?

    manna replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    No nurses in my family - although my BIL's ex-wife and girlfriend (yes, the same person - don't ask) is considering nursing school. I come from a science/math type of family too - my dad is an...

    Religion's Place in Nursing

    manna replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting conversation, and you'd think I'd have something intelligent to add since I just covered a huge section in my Philosophy course about the non-/existence of a God/gods, the problem of evil,...

    What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    manna replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    What's that saying, cheaters never prosper? I believe in karma - they may not get caught for it now, but it'll come back to bite them in the butt one of these days...

    Drug Seeking Behaviors?

    manna replied to JLN1129's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The other replies hit the nail on the head with this one. The ER is not the place you need to be seeking treatment. Get a referral to a pain management specialist if need be. My brother is an ER...

    Nurse Change to Doctor

    manna replied to Chibi Baka's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Lori on this one, too. I just assumed the OP was already a nurse considering looking in to med school. I wish I had the drive and direction at 17 that I do now... I guess 10 years...

    Do you wear makeup?

    I don't wear any either, but I don't see how it would be a problem so long as your hair/makeup isn't excessive. You know, all things in
