hello! did anyone see the thing on tv about someone inventing a robotic nurse which replaces the OR nurse? it's going to be on the market in a few years! this robotic device does everything the first assistant does! except it makes no mistakes coz ev...

i agree with you, except, in reality, they do select people the way i described. i was on the selection/academic board once and the discussions that went on about RNs becoming MDs were not welcoming at all. most RNs are against RNs going over to MDs ...

i agree about the difficulty in getting residency if you did an oceania degree.... i mean any off shore degree will be difficult in getting you a residency anyway... plus oceania is dodgy... the 3 year program i mentioned is actually happening, with ...

yes but are they specifically only for RNs? and no one else? or is it simply "graduate" program for anyone who is a graduate? a BSN is a degree and will qualify for the graduate program. but i have not heard of any specific program that states RN to ...

:balloons: thank you kindly for the explanation. i am well aware of historical connotations, traditions, etc... but these days, it's the new century, the new era, etc etc.... i have never heard anyone call a surgeon "Mr"... and i think if i did, peop...

i would hardly be making up things that i post. i am aware that what i post is easily cross-checked. i personally triple check things i post before i post them. to name one of the schools offering a 3 year short cut med degree, is the school of medic...

i meant becoz in US you have some programs which shave off 1 year from the 4 year post-grad program, essentially making it 3 years post grad for a med degree. there is no such thing in uk or oz or most 1st world countries. in oz and uk, even after u ...

that's in USA. what i said is actually happening in Oz. wow, USA has a med school admission rate of 44% to 50%? amazing. must be real easy to get into med schools in USA. in Oz, it's 20%. and in many places in the world, the program is still 8 years....

to solve the shortage of doc problem, NPs should be given more power/autonomy. they can't just simply let in more students. plus it costs much more to train a doc than a nurse. they have started to let in more med places in recent years. many program...

the med system is eliteist. and they are not starving for students. even with the mcat and interviews and high GPA required, there is still about 25 to 50 applicants per 1 med school place. so in fact, only about 20% of people who apply to med school...

i wanted to donate my eggs... but people who haven't had kids are not allowed to donate their eggs....

" The Indian culture has prescribed RITUALS AND RITES OF PASSAGE at various phases of an infant's development. When the child has lived for a full lunar phase (28 days), this is celebrated by tying a protective yantra or blessed charm (tali) around t...

teachers should not terrorise their students, or else their teaching will be rejected and bullying is perpetuated

[color=#71a938]prayer of forgiveness: dear god, whether i am unjustly treated or just think i am, may i try not to be a resentful person, stewing over past injuries. and once i have identified the root emotion behind my resentment, may i be big eno...

anyone who wants to do MD should join the bottom of the pile and start new. seriously people, do you want to go to a doctor who did not pass mcat or interviews? do you want a doctor who took shortcuts to get into med school? i don't think so! the mca...

there is no RECOGNISED RN to MD programs in the world! no such thing becoz it's an entirely different profession. those off-shore programs in antigua, oceania, russia, india, china, etc etc advertised their schools as great, but they are not going to...

in australia and USA, there are actually a lot of schools offering mental health scholarships.

i think this patient must be very ignorant or just choosing to see what he wants to see. i don't think nurses as a population are predisposed to or generally fat! it's got nothing to do with nursing. there's more fat people who are not nurses than th...

hi, this happened in my institution. an overweight student wanted to study for RN. but at the end of her 1st year she got kicked out. the reason turned out to be that she's overweight and they think she will not be able to function as a nurse. so th...

i totally agree! we all choose our own decisions in life and we lead our own lives. not someone else's idea of what ideal is. as long as we are doing our jobs in the standards required and as long as we are safe and not hurting anyone, we should all ...

in lay man terms, all doctors are called doctors! its confusing with the mr and doc differentiation. a surgeon has to be a doc before he becomes a sugeon anyway. so all surgeons and physicians get the MBBS first, which is equivalent to the MD in USA....

we have a "conspiracy theory" on why the med faculty fight for their own while the nursing faculty eat their young. there are always more nurses than doctors. if 1 doctor in 100 makes a mistake, the rate of disgrace is 1%. if there are 10 nurses for ...

they say that all adversities in life are lessons to teach you something... maybe this is supposed to teach me something... i can't change anyone and all i can do is control my anger at such blatant injustice. i am sure there are good faculties out t...

maybe it's the faculty's idea of "tough love", but people shouldn't presume to manipulate others' futures or lives believing it is for their own good! it is very hurtful and traumatising to be thrown out of a tertiary institution like that. very emba...

technology moves with unimaginable speed these days. plus they can always be made cheaply in 3rd world countries... people seem to be fascinated with using robots to replace nurses!
