Nobody denies that smoking kills or has horrid consequences. But thanks for the pics of the lungs I suppose. I guess it's easier to post pictures of diseased lungs than it is to say one word about...

I suppose you should get rid of your vehicle if cigarette smoke bothers you so much. Once again, ::beats dead horse:: You inhale vehicle exhaust, live next to power lines and talk on a cell phone. I...

Apparently you didn't read both of my posts. I stated very clearly that nobody should have to deal with my addiction except me, and that in the culture we live in, most smokers accept that we need to...

I absolutely acknowledge that my habit is filthy. I wish I didn't do it. I remember the smell was nasty when I did quit. I have no excuses for it. But I respect it for what it is, and the capacity in...
I start school on August 25th. We had to do BLS with our class at the school this past Wednesday, and I'm kind of shocked. There were younger girls (I'm 28) who were super catty, openly, to older...

I'd like for a non smoker to please look up the data associated with HPV and HSV-1 and 2 for the U.S. and then post it here. I already know the answer, which varies dependent upon who's done the...

As a smoker, I have quit many times and re-started, like all smokers I know the struggle. After living in Florida, where smoking is pretty much banned everywhere, I've learned to be conscious of the...
I need to add an addendum to that. I wasn't going to school for a career in the health care field so... I recognize that this is going to be exponentially more difficult for you than it was for me....
The 1st time I went to school, I had the EXACT same schedule you had, with extra externships is what they called them..thrown in in the late evening hours. It really wasn't that bad. Get up and eat...
Unless specifically mentioned in the contracts you sign, schools are obligated to grant LOA's if they say that they offer them, and you fit the criteria. If they say 'we'll only give you one if we...
Because your school didn't process the LOA correctly, your account was audited as a drop, and all loans the school was NOT eligible to keep based upon your attendance were sent back to the dept. of...
No need for me to complain to the dean. In the end, as I like to say all the time..reciprocity is a sure thing. As long as I'm getting my education and there's no grievous abuse of others that I'm...
You are in a really difficult position. I haven't seen much of those sorts of things like you do in LTC. But I watched my daddy die a terrible death from not taking care of himself, and now my mother...
I don't know a thing about nursing. haha. But I will say CONGRATULATIONS. All of you who come back and post after you've graduated and talk about passing the NCLEX etc have me super motivated. It's...
In short, I respect that you're saying that NOBODY should openly verbally abuse others. But considering that we're paying quite a bit of money for an education and have signed numerous contracts to...
"While coddling them and patronizing behavior that isn't conducive to healing shouldn't be an acceptable practice, we are called to higher standards per our instructors and the ethics we agree to...
ANDDDD! (haha I'm so long winded) while I did mention MYSELF that I feel like I'm being judgmental, it's because I do my best to see the best in others no matter how difficult their behavior is. I...
In addition, I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the words I've used to communicate here, but I don't appreciate being referred to as 'judgmental' because I took exception to the behavior of...
I expect the worst from patients because they aren't paying the same 13k that I'M paying to learn about the psychology of human illness, among other things. They didn't pay anyone to learn how to be...
I expect the worst out of patients. I did private home health for a few months, so I'm fine with that. It's the students that I expect more out of. But

My school is in Sunbury, and I live in Bloomsburg. Man honestly, I don't know WHAT I'd do if I had to drive to Wilkes Barre for school. There's a super giant steep mountain that you have to drive up...

I live in Pa too! In the mountains no less Ask a guy you know to do a tune up, all it is is new spark plugs and fluids and checking your oil filters and stuff. It's super cheap if you don't pay for...
