  1. Judge Stops Mandatory Flu Shots In NYS

    New York Health Care Employees Won't Be Forced To Get H1N1 Vaccine...For Now http://wcbstv.com/breakingnewsalerts/mandatory.h1n1.vaccine.2.1252672.html
  2. The evil reign of PowerPoint Lectures

    To me, powerpoint is the worst possible way to learn material. It might be great for that "nintendo" crowd but I don't see why I should bother to attend a single lecture when all they do is read the slides I've already read and then hand out a multip...
  3. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Politicians to decide what treatment doctors can provide based on $$$ http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_mccaughey&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs
  4. Stress relief?

    Exersize, yoga, tai chi, meditation...balance. Avoid slipping into food, TV, or anything else that resembles what is cleaned from the posterior of the individuals that we care for. Take your own advice, what would you tell a patient that asked the sa...
  5. How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    I plan on the CRNA myself (now I see why it's so competitive) and after that I'll go for a degree in Poetry because hey, let's face it, who doesn't want to keep deferring those student loans? Of course I'll need the degree in Physics to figure out ho...
  6. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    Because we have to impress the girls, everyone knows it's the size of your GPA...geesh
  7. How long did it take you to complete your CNA program

    Mine will be 2 weeks M-F, 8am-4pm, and I've lightened my load for this quarter at my main campus to 8credit hours for pre-req nursing, evening courses...this should be interesting, and mildly draining...
  8. I just wanted to say...

    Fantastic attitude, are you a fellow Ohioan? Where are you going to school? Cin"cinn"ati here...
  9. Ohio stna requierments

    Regardless of what you end up doing in life, getting that GED will boost your confidence level and lead you into opportunities you never thought possible. I've seen this personally many times over with those I've encouraged to take that first step in...
  10. Okay so here is the deal?............

    Something I did while in a performance major (in a different life many many years ago) was perform with my college ensemble (classical guitar music) at many retirement facilities and nursing homes....I'm sure there are groups like this that would be ...
  11. Nursing student taking drugs

    I'd be ok being a "sister" but I feel more comfortable in my own underwear...lol :wink2:
  12. Student Nurses over 35 and Second Career????

    I'm back in school for nursing at 42, doing a CNA/PCA program at the same time next quarter just to get some experience "in the field" to pick up added info and a little bit of $ to live on until I get my BSN...it's never too late.
  13. One thing all cnas need to know

    "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" ...and..."There is no path to peace, peace IS the path"...Mahatma Gandhi
  14. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    I've had 2 instructors older than I, 1 the same age and 1 (chemistry) much much younger...and I can say that every single one (cept' my chem teacher, she doesn't know what to think...haha) has given me the encouragement and respect that I wish I had ...
  15. Nursing student taking drugs

    A revisited post, humor certainly wasn't lost on most of the crowd and I can see the effects of "Reefer Madness" is still winding its way through the American psyche...I wonder if those in opposition to the "alleged" nurse oppose the scripts of lab w...
  16. Questions about nursing school and nursing in general

    A comedian once said...."if my guidance counselor couldn't guide themselves into a better career, then do I want them guiding my career"?...with that said, see if you can do any volunteer work at a local hospital or long term care facility (looks gre...
  17. The Challenges of Nursing School

    Fantastic quote at the beginning of the article, I love quotes, they're mostly short, easy to remember (at least the message) and can really give encouragement to an otherwise stress filled outlook...allow me to leave you with another... "You must be...
  18. Nursing student taking drugs

    This thread has been enlightening and charged on both ends of the spectrum, but to tell you quite honestly, as a "on the wait list" for clinicals student, it really just makes me wanna get high again before I enter the realm of spy vs. spy .... isn't...
  19. Cincinnati Hospitals

    If you're thinking cardio, look into Christ Hospital on Auburn Ave. They openly boast about their cardio care on everything remotely press related, I've heard great things from their nursing students as well. The fact that I was born there doesn't b...
  20. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    John, it's guys like you (and other posters here) that give me encouragement (at 42) to get this RN to BSN to CRNA ball a rollin'...I'm a former classical guitar major, turned business owner (my own business thank God) and after 20 years away I'm fin...
  21. A "chick's" perspective on Men in Nursing

    This post ranks right up there with a recent email......your financial aid package has just been approved !!! Seems like a "perk" that was left out of my advisor's run down of "what to expect" from my career in nursing...
  22. Cialis/Viagra for good grades

    I've had great grades with Viagra and Cialis but they didn't count towards my GPA or credits.... My secret is Omega 3-6-9's, a good steaming pot of Starbucks (home brewed for $ savings of course) and a weird "meditation" style approach to my studies ...
  23. Books/websites for medical knowledge & terminology?

    I could have asked the same question, thanks Whispera. One additional note, if you have a Half Price Books store in your town, you might want to check there first, before I started this quarter I had seen some terminology books and even picked up a c...
  24. Nursing student taking drugs

    Considering that legally prescribed drugs kill 300% more Americans than illegal drugs combined : http://rinf.com/alt-news/business-news/prescription-drugs-kill-300-percent-more-americans-than-illegal-drugs/4837/ and marijuana has killed ZERO, a stude...
  25. Mind is fuzzy, poor memory

    I'm new here but have you tried taking Omega 3-6-9's? They're cheap nutritional supplements that seem to work well for me when I get into that brain fog. A straight dose of Cod Liver Oil works well by itself, also a very inexpensive rememdy for memor...
