  1. Pharmacology in Western Medicine

    OC85 replied to brella's topic in General Nursing

    Heh, ever since I saw that icon, I've been waiting for an excuse to use it. Best. Smiley. Ever. Seriously, though, I really do agree with your point about over medicating. While I really do believe...

  2. Having been in Detox

    OC85 replied to twicexmommy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I can't be expected to hunt down every post the woman has ever made, but I'll admit that this changes things, somewhat. I still hold my opinion [i don't believe I was "telling her what she...

  3. Having been in Detox

    OC85 replied to twicexmommy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    [emphasis mine] I would be singing a different tune if the OP had said she never received treatment, or that she still struggles. I understand what you're saying, and think there's a lot of validity...

  4. Going to Nusing School next year and scared as heck!!

    OC85 replied to teeka2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Perfect answer. I say go for it. One minor thing, though: You're not really getting the same education in one year. You really do learn more, get a higher license, and have the potential for...

  5. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    OC85 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    broadwayrn: why don't you put that in your pipe and smoke it! seriously, how can you say that its only the american's that "don't understand the big picture" that are supporting the idea of uhc? it...

  6. Pharmacology in Western Medicine

    OC85 replied to brella's topic in General Nursing

    That sums it up perfectly, I think. [i happen to agree with you, about over medicating, though. You'd be surprised, for example, just how many prescriptions can effectively be replaced by a little MJ....

  7. Pacific College Costa Mesa Associate's Degree Program???

    OC85 replied to Charmeleon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really, they just got a little ahead of themselves on the website. They do not currently offer an ADN program. They have been approved to offer an associates degree, just not a RN program. They are...

  8. autonomic nervous system

    OC85 replied to sm357's topic in General Students

    Heh, we seem say such similar things, but with a sort of "good cop/bad cop" delivery.:chuckle ....or maybe polka-dot is just way nicer than I

  9. Having been in Detox

    OC85 replied to twicexmommy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't see how. HIPPAA privacy rules "restricts employers from using [private health information] in employment decisions"*, so I don't see how your school can get a hold of this information....

  10. Need Advice from you guys

    OC85 replied to wlb06's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sorry for hijacking the thread, just ignore this if it's too off topic: I have to ask, what did you think of the Navy Nuke program? I was wondering, because I was actually offered a contract for the...

  11. Need some encouragment...

    OC85 replied to Kylea's topic in LPN to RN

    Well, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, then. You have to admit, though, that when you read your OP, it does kind of sound like the exact opposite of what you're saying here. If the issue is more...

  12. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is our primary task [collectively] as an animal species. An individual person, however, has no such obligation as I, for one, would like to think that we are more than just mere animals....

  13. effects of financial crisis in employment of foreign nurses?

    OC85 replied to ecmicahrn's topic in International Nursing

    Look again. The statement "...and because of this we were able to stand whatever pains and hardships we are facing in the US because these hardships are just a piece of cake for most us" was made in...

  14. West Coast University?

    OC85 replied to We'llSee's topic in California Nursing

    No, not really. Their BSN is recognized by only like 3 other universities....I know University of Phoenix is one of them, and I think one of the Cal State schools either accepts it or is considering...

  15. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think it possible, but you're actually managing to sound more and more ignorant with every post...... To Michigan_RN: I'm sorry, what you said actually is very good advice, but I couldn't...

  16. I need advise.

    OC85 replied to TnMAintraining's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, there's another possible solution: Have you considered talking to other MA schools in the area? If they agree to transfer your credits from your current school, then why not continue somewhere...

  20. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    So you're saying the highest goal a woman can have is to get married and raise children? Ah, ignorance on top of mediocre writing

  21. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I am. Do you have anything to say about my previous post, or are you going to just keep pretenting I didn't call you out for acting like a petty child [not to mention erroneously trying to make...

  22. I need advise.

    OC85 replied to TnMAintraining's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There's something very wrong with that...it should be the other way around. Anyway, if you feel you need to continue for personal reasons, then nothing I can say about the financial realities of the...

  23. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Did you not read the original post? She admits to trying her best, but still failing [multiple times] to pass the ninth grade. I never said it was due to a lack of intelligence, but due to a lack of...
