  1. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Perhaps we aren't really disagreeing, then. As for drug companies controlling the supply, I don't think thats relevant, as I don't believe that drug companies should have a corner on the market. In my...

  2. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Again, nodoby was talking about that, and nobody cares. Even if MJ has a teratogenic effect [which it probably does], this is irrelevant to legalization, as alcohol and nicotine also preduce birth...

  3. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I think you're just way off on another tangent, more than anything. We were just talking about general studies done on marijuana. No one mentioned anything about official FDA trials. I know how those...

  4. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Ha! I love how we're pretending that America is the only country capable of doing credible research.... There are so many things wrong with this post, its not even funny. First of all, most marijuana...

  5. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    And yet, so many people would rather stay way up on their moral high horse than actually, you know, take the time to look at actual

  6. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Exactly. BabyLady, you are forgetting that there is a difference between simply being illegal, and being a criminal offense. For example, parking tickets result from an illegal action, but it is not a...

  7. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    OC85 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I think I'm putting Paris on my list as well...I'd like to go back for a couple of weeks. The food was amazing, even the cheap casual stuff was good. A friend of mine and I would stumble back from...

  8. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    ...just one more reason my MJ is safer than narcotic pain meds. Even chronic users do not develop a

  9. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I've wondered about that....If you have a legitimate prescription for MJ, and you get caught in a drug screen at work, can the BON take action against your license? I know that MJ is federally...

  10. Is cleanliness cultural?

    OC85 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I was just referring to smell. People think those other things about Americans because we generally do make crap cars, overfeed ourselves [super Size Me, anyone?], and make some terribly...

  11. Concorde vs. American Career College

    OC85 replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm really sorry, but thats not what I meant. I meant if you are a native speaker and , after 12 years of school and speaking the language every day, couldn't learn grammar well enough to pass the...

  12. Requirments for graduate nursing increasing?

    OC85 replied to pdaddy's topic in General Nursing

    ...that makes me kind of sad. NP is something I was seriously considering as a final goal, but there's no way I'm going to make it by 2012. Almost every single person I know who has a Doctorate tells...

  13. Is cleanliness cultural?

    OC85 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    This is a point I was going to bring up. What some people consider BO may not be due to a lack of hygiene. Certain foods really do seem to come out of your pores and affect your body's natural scent....

  14. Concorde vs. American Career College

    OC85 replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wouldn't worry, the English and math entrance exams for most private LVN programs are an absolute joke. Basically, if you are a native English speaker, you should pass easily [and if you don't, then...

  15. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    OC85 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Hence, the fairly biased opinion. Personally, I prefer German. As a total package, I'm partial enough to BMW that I chose to buy one. However, when you take an objective look at the car's...

  16. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    OC85 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    On a clear day, I can actually see that island if I sit on my roof. And yet, I haven't been to Catalina since I was a little kid. After seeing this picture, and being reminded of how beautiful Avalon...

  17. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    It should be noted that the law is not enforced the same way throughout the country. For example, marijuana has effectively been decriminalized in several California cities. As of right now, you could...

  18. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    OC85 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Yeah, but in terms of performance for price, its downright cheap. The engineers at Nissan went completely crazy and managed to produce a car that almost seems to defy the laws of physics. You could...

  19. LVN or RN

    OC85 replied to la mama 310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Orange county, and decided to go with a one year,private LVN program, and then bridge my license afterward. I have all my pre-reqs completed, so I can apply to LVNtoRN programs as soon as...

  20. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    This is based on your personal anecdotes, and does not apply to everyone. Also, do we really know that "occasional" drinkers really do drink in moderation. How many people really admit to being...

  21. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Thats a good point, as well. I have several friends who have been caught by the police with marijuana in their possession. None of them were arrested. One received a possession ticket [which is merely...

  22. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    But weren't you the one arguing earlier that nurses should not smoke marijuana because its illegal? So which is it? Do you believe in upholding all laws, or just the ones you agree with? If you don't...

  23. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that marijuana use is automatically a safety issue, but given a choice between the two nurses described above, I'd feel much safer with the pot smoker, as...

  24. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I think the question was directed at those who feel the person should be reported simply because pot is illegal. When the point is made that marijuana is no worse for you than alcohol, many of these...

  25. If u were the patient,what type of nurse would you like to have?

    OC85 replied to ahmadfaiz1992's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, thats a good point. I was only thinking of things that I am most likely to be hospitalized for [in which case I , like you, would prefer skill and knowledge]. I hadn't even considered the...
