    Agrippa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in General Students

    Yup. Turned in everything early too. But I have a previous bachelors in another field so that may have automatically dx'ed me. Who

  2. HRSA nursing scholarship

    Agrippa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in General Students

    I think that you get to see the report completed at that time for 30 days. Anyway, im just not thinking about it. If i get it great. If not, same as it ever

  3. HRSA nursing scholarship

    Agrippa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in General Students

    Haven't checked. Seems silly for me to pay to get it checked again to see if im being considered for it. I'm banking on me not getting it. I've already been bounced by a few other of my scholarship...

  4. ENG 102 or Human Growth Development (Psyc)??

    Agrippa replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Both are relatively easy classes. Now if it were Engl/Psych with A&PI/II - that would be a different ball

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

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Anything we could offer in terms of whether you gain admissions or not would be pure speculation. You should just do your best, apply and let the chips fall where they may. That being said, I'm...

  6. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think most people here realize this. I for one think his posts are actually helpful. It clearly demonstrates how disconnected and warped the extreme right wingers are. They've diverged greatly...

  7. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This would almost be laughable if I didn't know you were serious. Citizens in this country are not insured or underinsured because they have "fancy cell phones, new rims or a mouth full of gold."...

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think this was what she was referring to. You can listen to it here.

  10. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I found a really informative and thought provoking video from Frontline addressing many of the issues we are coming across in healthcare both as consumers and providers of healthcare. I propose that...

  11. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're explanation of your beliefs confirms my analysis. You believe that you can control most everything in your life. That which you can't control, is in the hands of ultimate control - that of a...

  12. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh and BTW, I do think if more people were in therapy, nothing bad could come of it. Especially our political leaders. Think of it - how would history be different if Hitler or Stalin were in...

  13. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First I must say that I am flattered that you're following my posts. Moving on. Actually, I know a lot of conservatives. I grew up in a very conservative area. But they are all true, Goldwater...

  14. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Politics is very much a part of one's belief system and how they see their world. I've given a lot of thought to this. I find that people who tend to consider themselves as conservatives adhere to...

  15. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    Agrippa replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    The reason I'm apprehensive about rolling backpacks is that in my area we can get snow and also we're in the city. Thus, being kind of a germaphob, I dont like my backpack touching all of the krud on...

  17. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First of all, you know hes doing something right when no one's totally happy. They're happy about the House's plan to offer Pubic Option - Check. Second, why don't you check your sources. You just...

  18. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. I think the Mayo Clinic's delivery system that is focused on patient outcome, not how many procedures are done, is phenomenal. Physicians are paid a salary and so are not incentivized to...

  19. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Agrippa replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Welcome to all nurses. The ANA supports the administration's Public Option plan. This will introduce a new choice in the health care market place. If these private insurance companies are so good,...

  20. HRSA nursing scholarship

    Agrippa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in General Students

    Nothing on my credit check yet.

  21. PBS Frontline documentary on our current healthcare system. Discuss.

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What I found interesting is that private insurance companies want mandatory coverage for everyone. The reason being that it dilutes their risk in their cohort pool. Thus instead of people buying...

  22. Do pediatric vaccines still contain mercury?

    Agrippa replied to Bridget41040's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And these days i think its almost impossible to get any thimerosal via vaccines. However, due to this fear about past thimerosal use, many parents become paranoid about all vaccines. They...

  23. Do pediatric vaccines still contain mercury?

    Agrippa replied to Bridget41040's topic in General Nursing

    The mercury you refer to is called "thimerosol". It's purpose is to preserve and protect the vaccine from contamination since as your instructor said, many vaccines came in a big vial that was used...

  25. Is Nursing school Hard?

    Agrippa replied to klott86's topic in General Students

    I think everyone has pretty much covered all the bases here regarding the difficulty of nursing school. Any answer is really only speculative. Too many variable to take into consideration, ei. the...
