  1. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to joeyww12000's topic in General Nursing

    Noone knows. Noone really has any idea of how this bill is going to affect the system. Anyone who tells you differently is lying. But chances are, it's not going to make things any easier on us....

  2. Discharged from the hospital without answers; the death of Jane Q. Patient

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OR was definitely the wrong choice of words there. It's not an either or case scenario, sadly...it's

  3. Discharged from the hospital without answers; the death of Jane Q. Patient

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Who are you to say what doctors deserve? And I'm not the one making people think they wont get care unless medicare pays up. Jane Q. Patient

  4. LVN before RN? Should I? Help!

    SilentMind replied to NursKam's topic in General Nursing

    You're right. It was CNA you can work as. Not LPN. That was my mistake. I don't have any experience in the field as of yet, so I still mix up the titles

  5. Discharged from the hospital without answers; the death of Jane Q. Patient

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Absolutely. But what does it say about the effectiveness of medicare in ensuring that our citizens have access to quality care, including preventative

  6. Health-care historian: GOP opposing ideas it long espoused

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They're trying to use this as a desperate ploy to argue that "Look, a republican considered it once. Therefor it's been a "long espoused" view of the GOP" Since then, we've had... Ford. "In the past...

  7. LVN before RN? Should I? Help!

    SilentMind replied to NursKam's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently facing this decision as well. So I did a bit of research. LPN classes takes one year to complete, and costs about $4000. RN classes at the community college take (I THINK its 18 months,...

  8. Justified? Selfish? What would YOU do?

    SilentMind replied to esokitty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Considering its a pre-nursing class, I'm assuming anatomy? A lot of professors teach more then one class. They're usually more then willing to let you sit in on one of their lectures at another time...

  9. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    I get the feeling we've already met. I don't know which one you are, but I think we had a conversation about allnurses while we were waiting for the "moving a patient from the bed to a wheelchair"...

    If you don't get in with 12 points, I will personally cover your entire tuition for both

  11. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's a big relief. Maybe I'll look into getting an older edition to study from, and i'll get together a few study groups where I can fill in whatever gaps there might

  12. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Dawn. Yeah, I got my anatomy book the same way. It was like $.99. And I had no problems using it through the courses. Are you worried about getting in? I'm a little low on points too. I heard 8...

    Ebay has always been sketchy, but I find Amazon has comparable prices and selection and are a lot more reliable. So you got them online and you still paid a grand for

  14. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    How specific are the books? I guess finding a cheaper one online that may be an edition behind would just be totally out of the

  15. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm in the same boat. I've been paying cash since the beginning. The scholarships would be a great boost, but i'm not counting on them. Just out of curiosity, how is the cost of the program divided...

  16. Pre-Nursing students what has been

    SilentMind replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Easily. I failed it the first time. And ended up with a C the second time through. I'm in it deep now. My school offers admission to the nursing program based on AP I+II, chemistry, and english. So...

  18. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do you know anything about the selection process? Does it just go by GPA initially? And then they do interviews from there? Or are there other

  19. Medicare for everyone is a public option

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It happens a lot. I think Health care activism is kind of a red zone for the moderators around here. I'm sure we get more threads closed then most of the other forums combined. It's the nature of the...

  20. Health-care historian: GOP opposing ideas it long espoused

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That article has absolutely nothing to do with the GOP. It makes that one claim in the title, and Starr's quote in the 6th paragraph. I don't get it...How was this in line with the GOP beliefs?...

  22. How do you handle cheaters?

    SilentMind replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    Of course not. How would you have time when you're too concerned with whether or not they took all their tests back in nursing school with academic honesty. You see, cheating is a character thing. If...

    SilentMind replied to jam911's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't think theres as many seats during the summer, as not all campuses offer it. I'm not sure about the

  24. Broward College A&P--what's it like?

    SilentMind replied to alisonelizabeth's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't be silly. Theres absolutely no need to purchase the models, as there are many and I'm sure they aren't cheap. The LRC has almost everything the class has, and it's open 12 hours a day. Yes,...

    SilentMind replied to jam911's topic in Florida Nursing

    Man, I wish I had known. Although to be honest...I think the hands on experience is a little more helpful. Well, at least with
