    Thank you for your sympathy NOT

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your father, which has been compounded by the horribly shabby treatment you've received from your management. You do not need them. I'm constantly amazed at the...

    Careplans in Nursing School?

    Ditto that. The process of writing careplans helps to teach students about the nursing process, the pathology of illness, and appropriate nursing interventions for patient problems. Admittedly, you...

    Fight of my life in Racine

    Excellent post;
  5. That's about it for us, too. Also, students who smoked could not be seen doing it in uniform. Our uniforms are royal blue scrubs with the school name embroidered on the left breast. Of course, no...

    Am I to old?

    Patrick, I'll be 51 at graduation, and nursing is a second career for me, too. All I can advise you is that if this is what you want to do... if this is your passion... then just do it. The...

    McKenzie's funeral

    Shelly, you wrote about the service just beautifully; I can envision the people, the music, the flowers, the pups, the butterflies... everything. What a wonderful tribute to that sweet little girl....

    HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    I agree with you. As far as the media is concerned, we are invisible. If we're not invisible, we're mistreating our patients, over- and undermedicating them, or ignoring the call bells. Or marrying...

    Can Staff Close Their Eyes While On 1:1?

    I agree with you. Unless sleeping is in the job description, staff are generally supposed to be awake and available while on the clock. I can't think of any situation where that would not be the...

    VENT... beware- not a happy post

    If you'll take a cyber-hug, I'm sending one your way. I'm so sorry. You sound like a nurse I would love to work with. You have compassion and empathy and smarts and feelings, and I know sometimes it...

    anatomy/dissecting??

    It was the same with us. We dissected a cat. It's commonly known around here that I am a cat lover, and I really thought I'd have difficulty with that dissection. But I didn't. And it's not like...

    Order of Professional Credentials/Degrees

    I believe you are correct, although I learned that it was one degree (the highest earned), then the license, then the certification. I don't see the harm in adding the nursing degree to the mix, like...

    Anyone try the P90X Exercise Plan?

    This is an excellent idea! Our cable company (Time-Warner) offers many channels "on demand", including Exercise TV on demand. There are more shows than I can count all dealing with some form of...

    Virtual Clinicals?

    I agree with the previous posters; I do not believe an accredited institution would act in the way. "Virtual clinicals"??? What an oxymoron! I think the OP is being cheated out of a learning...
