1. Time to call a duck a duck?

   realist replied to eriksoln's topic in Professionalism

   Eriksoln, Sometimes it is hard for people to face reality. I think that you are right on the money with your opinion and observation of nursing. There are a lot of NIEVE people in the world and unfortunately they can't accept differences of opinions ...

   You are right on the money, unfortunately there will be those who do not agree with you because reality has not set in. Thanks for speaking the same opinion that I've had since entering the profession. Oh excuse me, for I mistakenly typed profession ...

   I forgot to mention that I have two Bachelor degrees with one being the BSN as well as I am working on my Master's degree and my answer remains the same- NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

4. Would you be a nurse if you knew then, what you know now?

   realist replied to I love the OR's topic in General Nursing

   After what I have seen and been exposed to- ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY- NOOOOOO. Trust Me, Nursing was a second career for me so I have been exposed to other professions/professionals and have not observed what I've seen in Nursing. For me Nursing was...

6. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

   realist replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

   It is amazing to me how there are so many supporters of the garbage that has occurred in nursing - as I've said before it is not even considered a profession to many. We as people ( and I'm referring to caucasian, indian, AA etc) tend to feel that we...

7. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

   realist replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

   It is appalling and shameful to be in a profession or want to be considered a profession that find it ok for others to cheat their way through their education. People are half stepping in obtaining the necessary skills and education required because ...

   TJ8A, the statistics you've presented are completely shallow and based on a few comparisons (i.e class of 2007 admissions). You are emotionally attached to someone who you've had no direct interaction with. Your idealization is based on a persons edu...

   realist replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

   Tj8A, I think that you need to do your research. Have you ever heard of institutionalized discrimination? It is very hard to prove.... It is like baking a cake and knowing that an egg should have been included (although you left it out) and then aski...

11. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    realist replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    Here's a little something for you to think about/ponder. If there are minorities in positions who can make a difference in the disparities among the ethnicities, then why are they questioning or writing about it instead of making an impact in the sta...

12. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    realist replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    As you have stated "Take what you read on this board with a grain of salt" however just because a minority holds a particular position within an organization does not mean that person is going to look out or even be receptive to another minorities be...

    Hello everyone, I have read several recommendations of colleges that offer CRNA programs, however I would not recommend any colleges in the state of Michigan. I have never seen unfairness of the magnitude that I have seen here. I returned to Michigan...
