  1. Against Assisted Suicide

    nurses are patient advocates. if the patient chooses assisted suicide, they have the right to get that care. now, you do not have to do it, you have the right to refuse, but you must find someone else...
  2. as a patient advocate, i believe nurse's should try to step away from what 'they' would do, and their 'religion', and listen to what the patients want. there are terminally ill people that will not...
  3. absolutely!! wonderfully staed one size certainly does not fit all, so we must tailor any treatment to fit the needs of the individual
  4. should patients be able to choose to end their life if they are in pain and dying? death is a natural and normal part of life, and i accept that. i do not accept that death has to painful, drawn out,...
  5. For all pre-nursing students

    maybe it's the 100mg of zoloft a day, i have been on it for years, but i love med/surg.. hehe.i also would prefer to work nights and weekends, like fri/sat/sun night. i am not religious, so i can work...
  6. Seems like I'll never get into Nursing School

    community colleges only offer rn, which is an associates in nursing, not a a bsn, which is univesity level. have you taken anatomy and physiology1&2, microbiology, all of your psychology, etc..?...
  7. cheesecakelady~ yes, you must that and then some! you make a d and you fail.. in my school under 80% on tests is a failure, as it is with most schools, so that means a 79 will not allow you to pass....
  8. Looking for an LPN program...help please??

    even the colleges without waitlists have fierce competition. you have to apply, and of course most people who apply to nursing programs have already taken college classes in preparation. community...
  9. ECPI to go or not to go

    they always take applicants that seem the most competitive, nc cc's did away with actual 'waiting lists'. if there are any extra classes you can take, take them! also, have you looked into..watt's...
  10. ECPI to go or not to go

    would you like for me to be honest? many cc do not accept credits from ecpi, so if you wanted to become an rn you could have some issues with transferring of credits. you would end up retaking some...
  11. actual nursing classes are far more intense than a&p. you do get some hands on in clinicals, but this does not happen until you have learned what you need to
  12. My reasons for going into nursing/

    yes, evey hospital in my area requires every other weekend at the minimum, that way everyone has some weekend/family

    you have to apply... you have to show proof of adult vaccines, tb test..etc.. you must have a medical evaluation showing you are healthy, etc.. you can apply for spring 2010 or fall 2010 though! call...
  14. Interesting in doing nursing or related field

    most likely you cannot start fall 2009. application for fall 2009 are usually taken the year before. not anyone can go to nursing school, it is a process of application, having a medical evaluation,...
  15. Since you all have the experience....

    take as many pre req and general ed classes that you can. this will ensure that you only need "nur" classes, and not any eng, bio, etc. it will look more competitive if you only need your nur classes....
  16. Do all schools do this??:(

    no, no! my cc has been doing this for years. they want to ensure that you have the eng, math, and reading skills necessary for college classes. college math is required for nursing.. they need to...
  17. Is it a law?

    i had cosmetic surgery under general anesthesia at a hospital, and i remember that i needed help using the bathroom, and leaving the hospital. there was no way i was walking just yet, i was pretty out...
  18. What can i do with my husband?

    i guess since everyone else has given such great advice, i can add a few words of support and encouragement. you deserve happiness, contentment, a sense of self, and freedom. marriage is not a prison...
  19. Prospective Second Degree Nursing Student

    unfortunately, even with all my pre req's done, i still have apporx 1.5 years for an adn. there is "fundamentals of nursing" "pharmacology" "matenral health nursing" med surg" etc.. each is taken in...
  20. what are urgent care clinics?

    one thing to add.. they require payment up front, or payment that same day. unlike er's, urgent care centers often see patients with insurance
  21. i wanted to add to what purplescrubs mentioned :) in order to even become a nurse you have to go through nursing school, and you have to wipe butts, clean poo, see vomit, deal with blood, etc.....
  22. A problem with CNAs

    cna's are paid according to their education, which is not anywhere near what an rn has. i am a cna in nursing school, and i have been a cna for 9 years :) cna's are just that nurse aides, they "aide"...
  23. The dirty work?

    okay.. yes i take pride in wiping butts, cleaning poop, and all of that other messy stuff. nursing is a position of caring. caring involves poop, vomit, pee, and other such bodily fluids. you should...

  25. Thimrosal-Autism-Childhood Vaccinations
