  1. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    As I previously stated, I did buy a Mac ... it was a disaster. For one thing, it froze up all the time ... among many other problems. There's even a video on YouTube that talks about the freezing...
  2. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    I'll give Apple one thing ... they're very good at marketing. Marketing has always been their strong suit ... But, of course, that doesn't actually mean they build good computers.
  3. Nursing School Blues??

    Because, chances are ... their degrees aren't as hard, in many cases. They don't have to learn as much, the material isn't as difficult and their tests are probably straight memorization ... not...
  4. JCAHO vs. non-JCAHO hospitals

    Actually, I don't think that's entirely true. I believe hospitals can also qualify for Medicare, etc. if they're accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). One of the hospitals in my...
  5. kaiser?

    That could be true to some extent. This is only anecdotal but ... two people who worked at a SoCal facility told me they had to do blood draws and didn't always have CNA's. If that's true it could be...
  6. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Read Apple's Windows promo material that I previously posted. When Apple talks about being able to use Windows Outlook Express or viewing live internet video feeds through Internet Explorer in their...
  7. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    I think you're confusing my post with somone else's. When did I say that the processer is the operating system? I didn't. I know the difference between the two. Read Apple's site. They're going with...
  8. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Which means ... here comes the viruses ... Again, from Apple's website: Apple - Get a Mac - Run Windows "You can even run Windows Software ... Simultaneously download your corporate email in...
  9. And, just as conveniently ... you are now failing to point out CNA's victories: they lost Western Medical but they've just won two elections at USC LA and Community Hospital in Los Gatos. While you...
  10. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Uh ... not according to Apple: Apple - Intel "Now every Mac ships with an Intel processor ...." Of course, Intel processors do contain Intel chips.
  11. Nursing School Blues??

    I went through a major depression every semester. By the second year, I pretty much expected it ... which kind of made it easier, since I was used to it by then. I don't know what to tell you except...
  12. It is ... CNA has lost some but they've also have won some recent elections. While they lost Western, they just picked up USC in LA and Community Hospital in Los Gatos. I don't know why you're making...
  13. Has anyone ever been assaulted by a patient?

    Yeah ... I've been assaulted. And I'm fed up with the nursing profession's belief that I'm supposed to put up with that kind of abuse just because someone is sick. In my opinion, the nursing...
  14. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Actually, Mac's are becoming PC related, especially in the last year. Apple is now buying Intel processors and using the Windows operating system for some of their Mac's ... which means they're...
  15. How long does it take to get your IP?

    I graduated in Cali the same time you did but ... I was told to expect something by mid-January. At least you got something in the mail ... I haven't gotten anything, even though I sent my application...
  16. Sherwood: just about everything you've ever posted here is anti-CNA. You're certainly entitled to your opinion but ... it's getting to the point that you're doing nothing but spamming for your...
  17. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    Thankfully, I've never been in an HCA facility but I've heard nothing but horrible things about them so, I guess it's not surprizing that they're breaking ratios on the sly. And their CNA cuts did...
  18. i did it again....

    Cali does use the Pearson website, and you can get results in three days but, for example, that won't happen if they don't have my school records ... which will easily take until February (the...
  19. We did have to wear caps and, at first, I thought it was stupid but ... I have to admit after looking at the pictures, it did look good. The instructors had to wear caps for yearbook pictures and the...
  20. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    I couldn't agree
  21. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Well, obviously we disagree and I'm glad you haven't had any problems but, think about it. They've been around for a long time and if it really was so great, they'd have a lot more market share than...
  22. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    Sorry to be the spoiler here but I HATE MAC and would die before I ever go back. I've had too many problems with their computers to count. Too expensive, too difficult to fix, they charge you for...
  23. Respiratory therapy?

    If you're concerned about the financial aspects ... According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, RT's make, on average, $10K a year less than RN's. May 2005 State Occupational Employment and Wage...
  24. job market in CA

    You wouldn't think so but, I guess it is true ... if gaswork.com is any indication. CRNA Menu I only found 25 job listings in California ... but there were anywhere from 100-200 job listings in states...
  25. i did it again....

    I'm not sure you can estimate time with the CA BRN on anything. I was the first to send in my licensing application in my class, and I'm still waiting on paperwork for my IP and NCLEX test date ......
