    Can someone give me some detail on this profession. I just recommended it to someone else with what little info I have about it myself. It seems like a pretty good profession. Will studying...

  4. Tasting blood....Can this be true?

    PopeJane3rd replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    That would never happen with bedpans. First, pouring serum and changing bedpans are two totally different things. Blood and Feces are totally different with different chemical makeups. They are also...

    PopeJane3rd replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

  6. Did I ruin my chances of getting into Nursing School?

    PopeJane3rd replied to ngillilan1's topic in General Nursing

    PopeJane3rd replied to Mrs.BSN71109's topic in General Nursing

    PopeJane3rd replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

  10. Every Nurse Should Give Birth

    PopeJane3rd replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not in agreement with your post. I don't like for people to put everyone in the same category. To experience or not the pain of a patient does not make one a better or worse professional. I...

    PopeJane3rd replied to dec2008houRNgrad's topic in General Nursing

  16. Different opportunities in Nursing....

    PopeJane3rd posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm understanding a little now what people are talking about when they say there are so many opportunities in nursing. So say if I worked in L&D for a few years and then decided I wanted...

  20. Is this questionable?

    PopeJane3rd posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had some cosmetic surgery on my face awhile back. The nurses tending to me pressed the gauge so deep into my nose that it hurt really bad. My mouth and throat was scratched up really really bad that...

  22. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    PopeJane3rd replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I was right. Cliques even exist here on Allnurses.com. Whenever I post thinking out loud about doubts, uncertainties and pay I get bashed. Yet here you do it and no one winks an eye. What a...

    PopeJane3rd replied to centralflorida's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you've considered even in one place entry levels make different? I do believe it is still a fact that men make more than women, marrieds more than singles, whites more than blacks. I saw the...

    PopeJane3rd replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Yes thank you very much. With your attitude I can see why I choose to be alone. Who needs someone with mean spirited tone as you have. I wouldn't socialize with you anyway at your unit, would avoid...
