1. Health Care pay decrease with new health care plan?

   looking4wrd replied to chrisciwi's topic in General Nursing

   Has anyone even seen copies of this supposed plan? Where are all the details? Seriously, I think they will pass it without anyone even knowing what is in it. If anyone knows where there is a copy of this plan please let us know. I don't mean "fluf...

2. Parents at Orientation

   looking4wrd replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

   I think you should give the school a call and see if its normal and customary that parents attend. If they say "usually not" or "its students only" then you have your answer and you'll have to let mom down gently. If they say parents are welcome to...

3. Those of you who understand chemistry well

   looking4wrd replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

   I went to a SUNY upstate school and took CHEM 151 (chemistry for the health sciences). That was ten years ago, so I don't know if they have that class anymore, but it was a great class and not that difficult. The professor made it very interesting ...

4. Rude people in the public library

   looking4wrd replied to mom35's topic in General Students

   The library in my neighborhood gets loud, too. Whatever happened to whispering softly in a library??!! Even the librarians get loud! I guess that went out the door years ago with general good manners, and yes, that's when everyone started being gl...

5. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

   looking4wrd replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   I would LOVE to hear Canadian's perspectives about their plans, as it is true that I hear a lot of nightmarish stories. It would be nice to hear the GOOD things about it. Anyhow, back to the OP's question...how will it affect nursing??

6. Cheating on final

   looking4wrd replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is great that your professor caught this! Do you find it weird that "Ann" chose to sit next to you AGAIN, even after you told her no??? She sounds very bold, stupid AND insecure. God help her future patients!

9. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

   looking4wrd replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   Universal healthcare coverage scares me. Such a huge overhaul of our healthcare system cannot be done without sacrificing tons of jobs, spending tons of money and making too many drastic changes. We are trillions of dollars in debt as it is! How a...

    Wow, everyone's tips were so amazing! It was fun reading them all. I am so fearful of going back to school and trying to balance single parenting, working full-time and school. If you can all do it there's no reason why I can't, right? I really t...

14. Learning to be emotionally neutral

    looking4wrd replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    Next time, what if you smile very nicely and say " Thank you so much for wanting to help and give advice, but I would really like to figure this out on my own. If I need advice or help you'll be the first one I ask, thanks!"...then go back to what y...

    I took both A&P classes about 12 years ago. Although I don't remember exactly what was taught in each class I do remember you will learn everything you could ever want to know about each body system! It is A LOT of memorization, but in my class...
