  2. associates in nursing is pointless

    dannyc12 replied to kkia123's topic in General Nursing

    Actually you are agreeing with me. My message to the OP was that a large percentage of working nurses started as associate degree nurses. Rather than being a hindrance to a career, it is a good...

  3. associates in nursing is pointless

    dannyc12 replied to kkia123's topic in General Nursing

  6. No nursing jobs in 2012 ???

    dannyc12 replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in General Nursing

    The job market for RNs will not be worse than it is now. The job market for just about everything (outside of foreclosure and bankruptcy occupations) in 2012 will be much better than it is now. The...

  7. Time-sensitive! : Suggestions for AP Flashcards

    dannyc12 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

  8. Medical Dosage Calculations - In Your Head or Calculator?

    dannyc12 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I am honestly appalled at the lack of simple math skills displayed by my younger peers in nursing school. It isn't even funny. They utterly refuse to learn to do simple math - a skill not unlike...

  9. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    dannyc12 replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't suppose you have noticed that "Research via Youtube" is never used in peer reviewed journals. There is zero evidence that the vaccine had anything to do with this case. Make no mistake, you...

    dannyc12 replied to robinslapsRN's topic in Psychiatric

  14. Should I walk away from this?

    dannyc12 replied to BigTimeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your post looks like a good advertisement for requiring prospective Nursing School students to work 40 hour so hours as CNAs before admission. Like others said, you stuck it out this far, you might...

  15. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    dannyc12 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    The instructors in our Nursing Program pointed this out loud and clear to us very early on. If a student uses "stat" for "SAT," especially at a clinical site, they will be

  16. need help with Respiratory therapist

    dannyc12 replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

    Can you go back to the beginning and discuss more about what you are looking for out of a career? You mention salary and advancement, but not much else - is that it? If so, is a career in healthcare...

  17. Nursing prerequisites vs. nursing school - degree of difficulty?

    dannyc12 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

  22. Donating blood- is it safe ?

    dannyc12 replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    Depravity? Get a grip. Of course the Red Cross sells the platelets I donate. How do you think they pay for all the buildings, machines, and staff to draw and transport the stuff? Any organization...

  23. Donating blood- is it safe ?

    dannyc12 replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    It had better be! I am working on my 14-gallon pin and have been donating whole blood (and more recently platelets) at the Red Cross since the 1980's. I remember meeting so many people who wanted to...

  24. Ever encountered biased teachers in nsg school?

    dannyc12 replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    Get used to it. More specifically, gain some skills in not letting it get to you. We had our Oral Med Administration checkoff the other day. Up till now, our Lab Instructors have been rather low key...

    dannyc12 replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing
