  1. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure someone somewhere probably won't have access to a single dose. But for the most part, the availability of a single dose isn't going to be a problem in most metropolitan areas - maybe...

  2. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/thimerosal_qa.htm First of all, I don't see the need for you to get rude about this. I am hardly spreading "falisities." I just believe theres too much hysteria...

  3. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Trust me, I'm the last person to advocate for Fox New's journalistic credentials. But to say that H1N1 Flu is the same as seasonal flu is just plain incorrect. Yes, they have the same symptoms, but...

  4. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would get it even if I were not required. You have the choice to get a shot or not yes. But you do not have the right to be a healthcare professional/nurse. A key principle of the nursing...

  5. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    Agrippa replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    A note of advice to all of the applicants. Please be aware of what each program (BSN & CNL) is and is not. CNLs do receive a master's level education and already have a bachelors in another...

  6. Head just above the water

    Agrippa replied to Mjawors1's topic in General Students

    If you're a full time student, I strongly urge you to quit your job. Yes, this may be financially difficult, but you need to keep your priorities in line. You can either decide to work and not do...

  7. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    Agrippa replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    Send an anonymous email to your instructor. If she cheated once, shes bound to cheat again and the instructor will keep a better eye out on her. I think its the responsibility of our profession to...

    Agrippa replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Haha...oh trust me, I have my share of "cheat"

  9. I've gotta figure out a way to lose weight while in nursing school

    Agrippa replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    For me, nutrition is the hardest part. Working out is easy - as long as I get my butt to the gym, the hardest part of the battle is basically 90% done. Now making sure I eat clean all the...

  10. I suffer from disassociative identity disorder...

    Agrippa replied to Nadra419's topic in General Students

    I also highly recommend that in addition to medication management from a psychiatrist, that you also go see a psychotherapist. These days, people just go and get meds which may treat the symptoms....

  11. what is pharmacology??

    Agrippa replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    Others have done it and so can you. Have confidence in yourselves

  12. what is pharmacology??

    Agrippa replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    Yea, I would say it does build off of a lot of information from A&P. For example, a lot of pharmacology has to do with neurotransmitters and receptors. Skeletal muscle neurons at the...

  13. what is pharmacology??

    Agrippa replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    That is my favorite class thus far. I love the science part of it as opposed to my intro to nursing practice class....ugh. So much ambiguity and "pick the most right answers"....i hate

  14. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Anyone hear back from the state Workforce Shortage Scholarship program

  15. Need some help with drip rate calculations!

    Agrippa replied to swil10's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind that these questions have information that is irrelevant to what they are asking. 1. The question asks for the rate of the IV. Now I was under the impression that the answer should be...

    Agrippa replied to uniscore1's topic in General Students

    Are the videos in my nursing lab any better/different than the ones you can see for free on youtube?

  19. Level of intelligence

    Agrippa replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    There are stupid people everywhere. Just look at these townhall meetings. Act accordingly. The difference between intelligence and education has been expounded upon ad nasueum so I will not go into...

  20. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would give them some time. They just finished last week doing our orientation so I know they are reaaally busy. So I would just wait and not get too

  21. Study groups?I dont know how

    Agrippa replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    Yea, I think study groups are overrated. Too much time spent on jibber jabber and the group only progresses as far as the slowest person in the group. The only time I like to do a study group is like...

  22. FACT CHECK: Distortions rife in health care debate

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a PPO and I've had problems. That must mean that our healthcare system is

  23. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well if it makes you feel better, I have tons of debt from my previous degree. See if you can get in state status next year. But from what I hear, I heard its pretty hard. They need to be convinced...

  24. Any current Johns Hopkins BSNs around?

    Agrippa replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    Try the MD section of this forum in the regions. I'm not going to be a JHU student (ill be at UMB as an instater) but I know a bunch that went to JHU. It is a good program but for me, it was not...

  25. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Furthermore, couldn't the school just buy a few sets of these and keep them in each class for us to use? Do we ALL really need to get our
