  1. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    bassandtea replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    bassandtea replied to Serenity9595's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As with HSVI (cold sores), HSVII (genital herpes) can present on any part of the body and is not always restricted to the genital area. HSVII can appear on the face and other areas of the body. I...

    bassandtea replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    bassandtea replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    bassandtea replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    For a fellow nursing student... If somebody who works hard and spends a lot of time studying fails an assessment you do not need to go and tell everybody else in the program that she failed. You...

    bassandtea replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    bassandtea replied to amber84's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be scared of needles, but for various reasons have had to get a number of blood tests and injections over the last few years. I found that the more I was exposed to needles the less scared...

    bassandtea replied to RNstudentwithQ's's topic in General Nursing

    I had been working in administration for several years and had started a job that I thought would be great with a not for profit organisation. It turned out to be not so good and my supervisor was a...

    bassandtea replied to 1las9630's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing an A&P course at nursing school at the moment and find the best way for me to remember everything I have to is make up silly songs about the different parts of the anatomy, sounds silly,...

  14. was I wrong

    bassandtea replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I really think it depends if the other person is using you work as a guide or if they will let you see what they have done if you are stuck or unsure of something. Where I study most of our teachers...

  16. A doctor helps children change their gender

    bassandtea replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  18. A doctor helps children change their gender

    bassandtea replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's fantastic. For the transexual people I have met having something like this available could have changed their lives so much. For them it was never a matter of wanting to be the opposite...

  19. Bachelor of Nursing in Sydney (UTS, UWS or ACU?)

    bassandtea replied to windazz's topic in International Nursing

    bassandtea replied to Dancin'Mom's topic in General Nursing
