    Could someone of average IQ become an ADN nurse?

    Anoetos replied to Weber's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The point may be needlessly academic, but "being able to make connections between what you do and what you learned" is very much a function of intelligence. This is so close to the ability to...

    Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    Anoetos replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grey's Anatomy is the worst offender, there ER docs ambulate patients, pass meds, do routine dressing changes on the floor and provide hygiene. Nurses are just there with stethoscopes and clip boards...
