I am prepping for nursing school now, but already stressing about the stress aparantly endemic to nursing. I am wondering if a new nurse is required to start out, say as a floor nurse, or in med/surge or some other high stress position... or if ther...
I know how you feel. It has taken me years to be able to accept that our country is very rapidly becoming a fascist state. It is happening in ALL areas. Before the next election another "event" will happen to justify marshal law and attacking Iran. T...
I have not read all of this thread so forgive me if this is redundant. I have found clear evidence that vaccines are dangerous, as they actually cause disease, not prevent it: i.e. gulf war syndrome. In particular the bird flu like HIV was created by...
Hello All. I'm a newbie taking prereqs for a BSN. I just have one big nagging concern keeping me from fully committing to the program. I want to help people, but I feel that the western allopathic way of surgery/drugs is often very harmful (althoug...
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It took me years to overcome my shock from discovering the depth of malevolence in the corporate agenda. But I finally have realized beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is in fact a deliberate and very well orchestrate...
uhhh...pardon me, but who ever said "nurses are automatons who never question and "just push drugs for the man""? I certainly didn't and certainly don't think so. There are clearly many nurses who are well aware of what is going on, think critically,...
I appreciate your sincere encouraging advice. Thanks. Sounds like you work at a great place. I have to say again (4th time now) that, as in my OP, "I feel that the western allopathic way of surgery/drugs is ........................sometimes needed in...
We all have free will to do whatever we choose, even hurting ourselves. But what about the endless repercussions: The example you set for kids, your loved ones who will have to watch helplessly as you suffer as a result, the devastating financial los...
Haven't you, a nurse, ever heard of medical marajuana? In California, Oregon, and other states the voters passed propositions to legalize it for medical use. Are you actually unaware of the medical benefits? I am amazed. Or are you just trying to sti...
You obviously have no idea what kind of education I have had. The many years of "higher education" I've had have not educated me. The real education I value is what I taught myself in the last few years from reading hundreds of books (of my own choos...
Oh right the FDA is there to protect us helpless citizens. And of course they are not at all influenced by the same pen-giving pharmy reps. Synthetic drugs good....herbal remedies bad. Tobacco good....marijuana bad. God bless the FDA for keeping us a...
Uh...well...since you asked....yes...I do have something against donuts. They are made of highly processed flour and sugar which was likely treated with pesticides and genetically modified. Then preservatives are added so it will still look like it i...
Well excuse me for being an idealist and caring. I guess I should just keep my mouth shut and not rock the boat. Drugs for everyone! More TV and donuts! Hooray for the Man!
How many times do I have to reiterate that I believe there are definitely times when drugs are needed?! There have been many replies already saying what you just did again. I was just suggesting that those who doubt the healing power of natural remed...
I am living proof that exercise (and diet) can indeed effectively replace drugs. I was severly chronically depressed :ofor years and was on several antidepressants (not concurrantly). They helped, but the side effects were really bad. Then I started...
Ah...that's better. More who see where I am coming from and are trying to help me figure out if I can find a happy niche as a nurse given my holistic slant. I can't control the wind, but I can adjust my sails. Ultimately, I realize it is futile to t...
Here I am, the OP, back to respond (for you impatient doubters). First, excuse me for being a hippie....man! I think I will be able to live with the pharmy issue, since it is obviously only a small fraction of the potentially positive avenues for doi...
