   leshi replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   We need a solution that will give the poor the access to healthcare they need but at the same time not screw rich people just for being rich. That kind of society limits incentive because it's like if you exceed a certain income bracket, the governm...

2. My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

   leshi replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

   Cellphone girl: She should have turned her phone on silent when he mentioned it, but I think it would have been more disruptive if she made a big deal of her cellphone ringing. Sometimes I forget to turn my sound off - nobody really calls me but I g...

3. Am I Nurse Material?

   leshi replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana

   My pediatric clinical instructor told me I should reconsider - which is fairly understandable because I DID NOT enjoy pediatric at all and it probably showed. I don't have the personality to be a pediatric nurse (I'm fairly reserved, straight-forwar...

4. Nursing instructor that reads powerpoint word for word

   leshi replied to mwdw04's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I have an instructor that reads nearly word-for-word off her typed outlines. She even reads the lesson goals such as "By the end of the lesson, you will be able to..." It's really boring. When I ask her a question, she normally doesn't even respond...

5. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

   leshi replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   I've wondered how universal healthcare will affect nursing, but in Norway my friend there said that after their 40% tax rate (partially due to universal healthcare), RNs make 30k a year which is in the neighborhood of half what they make already. Wh...

   leshi replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

8. Hello: freshman nursing student

   leshi replied to leshi's topic in General Students

   From what I understand, the course at the college I'm going to is 18 credits per semester (RN in 2 years) and I'll have clinicals for each one - one day a week the first year and 2 days a week the second year. The first semester is something like ph...

9. What does your nursing uniform look like?

   leshi replied to Princess74's topic in General Students

   I don't know yet. I tried to find out but it said "uniforms are to be purchased at the beginning of the year from approved vendors" They're probably going to be ugly! At least everyone will be ugly together though

10. Hello: freshman nursing student

    leshi replied to leshi's topic in General Students

    UPDATE: I talked to 3 people in the nursing program at the college I will be going to. One "loves" it, the other two told me it's really hard and one said she cried after her first day of clinicals. However, she also said that between the ER, deliv...
