5. Nursing Journal Article - HELP!!

   julbug75 replied to julbug75's topic in Student Assist

   I have done exactly what you have done and the articles are not specifically relevant, or they are not written by a Nurse, or they are not from the past 5 years. Thanks, but I need to meet all of this criteria. I wish it were that easy!! I'd be don...

9. What is the opposition to Universal Healthcare

   julbug75 replied to ChicagoRN2010's topic in Activism

   How embarrassing that there are STILL people in America who think that Obama is proposing a "Socialist" Universal Health Care plan. Get educated! And even if he were - GOOD! What a selfish, greedy, unpatriotic notion to not want to help provide for...

    As a future Midwife - No! In almost all other westernized countries - 70 - 80% of births are attended by Midwives. In America - 5%. America has one of the highest Maternal/Infant death rates of all of these countries. You do the math!

    I'm feeling your pain!! I've been trying to sleep as much as I can and study as much as my clogged up head can take. I even went to work for 4 1/2 hours today thinking I could work my way out of feeling like poop - not such a brilliant idea!! I wis...

    julbug75 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    julbug75 replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    I asked one of my instructors the other day when the class schedule for next semester would be out. I added that for me, the sooner the better because I like to plan in advance care for my children, and to give my employer an idea of how much I wil...

    julbug75 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I can't believe we're halfway done with Semester 1 already. Crazy! I am feeling pretty good so far. I was a little overwhelmed having 2 BIG exams in a 2 week period of time, but I did well on both and things have calmed down a little. I set goals f...
