  1. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    marilynmom replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I think the vast majority of "everyday" people have no clue what are in vaccines, how the work, or question anything about them--the Dr says they need them, hands them a sheet of paper, and injects...

  2. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    marilynmom replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my main concern with vaccines is that people blindly use them and are not informed and educated about what is in them, the risks, etc I just wanted to make that clear. I would not personally...

  4. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    marilynmom replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I think this might be a good idea in underdeveloped countries but not here in the US for every child. Even though I think money would be better spent in cleaning up the water supply, nutrition, hand...

  6. Pre-req's - what are they?

    marilynmom replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. ADVICE: 42 yr old Male: Nursing

    marilynmom replied to ksgomez's topic in General Nursing

    marilynmom replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

  10. How to get into the nursing program

    marilynmom replied to undergradnurse's topic in Nursing Career

  11. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    marilynmom replied to admorn03's topic in General Nursing

    marilynmom replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

  22. why can't i just take A&P? why do they have to be separate?

    marilynmom replied to pedsnur2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also took them seperatly. It just depends on the schools it seems. Where I live the BSN programs all require them to be taken seperatly (same classes that the pre-med, pre-pharm, etc take) but the...
