I've been reading alot lately about how nutrition and avoidance of toxins could be the most important key to staying healthy. People in traditional societies dont have the chronic diseases we do in the industrialized or maybe even agricultural world...

Hi kstec just wondering where you live, where the job opportunity is so great. Thanks.

_have you ever had bosses who only comment on the negative aspects of their staffs performance? -Who assume and expect the worst out of you. I work so hard to please the clients and go out of my way and do more than expected of me. I get so many comp...

You're right. I've thought of leaving for a while but havent made the effort-esp with this economy. But I really do have to at least try to see what else is out there. Thank you!

Where is money wasted in healthcare? This is porbably small potatoes but I've experienced wasteful irresponsible behavior amoung seniors with medicare. If there was some monetory contribution to doctors visits that they had to make it would prob go a...

I couldnt agree with you more about disliking powerpoint. Too many professors use it to cover what they have to teach w/o being able to explain the material themselves. I had one prof, wiht a master in education, who it seemed took notes on a topic a...

I had professors who read material and took notes and posted them on power point and that was our lecture (regurgitation). There were a lot of mistakes-content, grammer, spelling. some of it was incomprehensible. I spent so much time teaching myself ...

I learnt a valuable lesson recently. I was told very harshly by someone I care about that amoung other things that I can be really really judgemental and disrespectful and nonappreciative. it was said really harshly and I because it was someone I car...

I wanted to share something that I learnt recently from a nutritionist that I'm sure most of you know but that most dont seem to and it shocked me: Did you know that the main course of a meal should be vegetables and this is odviousy not the american...

I meant to write: What if the best way is to suffer the consequences of non-compliance in the form of extra payments or loss of free health care? What if that is more effective? What do the studies show in this regard?

Maybe the bottom line is what works best? What do the studies show? Psychology studies motivation. The way we (admittedlly I'm not a we yet,not yet a nurse) approach patient care and teaching what studies is it based on? Does the approach get results...

It's ironic and sad. The ones on this post who are complaining about non-compliance and the waste on the healtcare system and the wastefulness of thier efforts are being called judgemental and suggestions are made that they should change careers and ...

"I would like to start a program along the lines of: three visits for "fixing" you, and then you're OUT. Evidence of drugs, uncontrolled sugars in spite of numerous educational attempts, and/or no attempts to quit smoking, and that's it. " I like tha...

That was well put. I have to remember that. How will things change in our American sociey? We have higher incidences of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle that other nations. How will it stop? I'm sure healthcare workers are making...

Thank you. I've learned from this post. I'm a CNA in homehealth, nursing student for only one semester. I've dealt with non-compliance wiht meds and diet and exercise. Seemily necessary and costly doctor and hosptial visits and testing. Not nearly t...

Thank you for that!!

I live on a low income. -It doesnt cost me any money to walk/run outside for 30mins a day and lift some weights at home. -Eating healthy doesnt seem more expensive to me: fruits and vegetables that are one sale, brown rice, pototoes with the skin o...

I heard discouraging news that there are no LPN jobs in the Baltimore/Annapolis area. I'm considering going for an LPN license. I also dont want to work somewhere where there is heavy lifting- I mean lifting over 35lbs of a patient-ie lifting that is...

Just wondering about how different RN school is from LPN. I want to do LPN in a year or so. I completed the first semester and a bit of RN school. It was too much for me as a single Mom. Also, I'm very theory oriented and wanted to understand on a de...

I agree lepspn, the judgmental comments about who you were hanging out with were out of line, arrogant in fact. I hope the second hand smoke didnt effect your test and you succeed in your LPN career!! Best of Luck

Urine is urine even if it is dilute.

Just wondered how you find it. -What are the hours over the weekend? Its T,Th,F 5:30 to 8:30, right? -Is it very intense -time consuming? If anyone has done any RN semesters at AACC, how does it compare in terms of work load. The NCLEX questions loo...

I didnt use Saunders myself,I should have. It was a recommendation from a wonderful nurse who graduated from AACC around last yeae. She said the questions for exams are similar to the questions in that book and that it is a great summary after you h...

From the semester and a bit that I completed I can advise this: Try to get enough sleep, though that will be tough. Try to do as much exercising as you can even 15 mins a day. You will need it as a stress reliever. Prepare to teach yourself to a grea...

Thats good to know there are jobs, thanks. So the "no-lift" policies that should be in effect essentailly aren't? What about assisted living wiht residents who are more independent, pediatricians office, pysh nursing-there cant be too much heavy lift...
