  1. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to battle you on this, but I have to so that others will see the point I'm trying to make. Look at what you are saying: you came to a point where you could give up yourself for the love of...

  2. entry level education for nurses

    ADNRN replied to jnoonan's topic in General Nursing

    I say MSN. Why not? Everyone going to nursing school should already have a BS or BA, and nursing school should award the degree of Masters of Applied Science in

  3. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    In reality, I know what detachment is. I mean, otherwise I would be paralyzed as a nurse. But as I said, detachment in the physical world is not really what I'm talking about. You are no more detached...

  4. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Going home isn't detachment. Detachment is a state of mind. it is the opposite of the state of mind described in the philosophy I started this string with. Just because circumstances in the illusory...

  5. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I already conceded that a BS is a good education level to have for a nurse; just look back a little through the replies. I just don't think a BSN is the degree to have, even though that's what the...

  6. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I know, it's the sarcasm. But, hey, when people are calling you a monsterous, dangerous, arrogant, uneducated, nurse-that-should-never-be, a little sarcasm as self-defense can only be right....

    Thanks, Caroline. So, what's your philosophy of nursing, or what is your definition of

  8. Male nursing students/nurses

    ADNRN replied to krebs.cycle's topic in General Nursing

    First off, in Meet the Parents, I think a really positive image of men in nursing was protrayed. But I suppose that's in the eye of the beholder. Men will increasingly enter nursing. In fact, there...

    OK. Fine. I take it back. Mother Teresa isn't

    Dang! Thanks, 3rd Shift Guy. I'm not used to compliments. (I feel like Adrian in the pet store--you know,

  11. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there's certainly no shortage of detatchment in the nursing field. Once I was so attached on a clinical rotation, that I told everyone who would listen that my patient had stage II pressure...

    Thank you, Anna, that's exactly what I

  13. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes. I am the reason for nurses eating their young. I want to have no status and work at the bedside until I'm 70, and yet I am the one who is acting superior and living in an ivory tower. How...

  14. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I own and have read two books by Mother Teresa and bought her biography video from the biography channel. Granted, I never worked with her. Anyone who thinks they are independent from God and...

  15. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, maybe one day I'll learn to hate nursing, and love status so I can get away from the bedside. Then I'll really have made it. Until then, I guess I'll have to stupidly plod along learning about...

  16. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right!. If you're going to be a researcher, a PhD is the thing. But I want to do the greatest highest thing in the world. I want to be a bedside nurse. While you pour over data on how I can clean a...

  17. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to interupt your tirade of "I am wrongs" but I think you have a point, and I didn't consider it. A&P 1 and 2 and microbiology as well as gen psyc, soc, human growth and development, ect are...

  18. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    First off, nurses are considered professionals. At least in my state, it's listed under the statute for "professions" right there with MDs, dentists and cosmotoligists, and art therapists. Second,...

  19. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, great Barbara, you're an educator and you feel everyone should at least have it "revealed" to them the superiority of the BSN in nursing. That's the point I was trying to make: Educators push...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    1. Everything you needed to be a nurse, you were able to learn within nursing school. Currently, nursing school can be done through diploma programs. Granted, one needs a basic education to get...

  21. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Deb, without trying to sound rude, could I ask you to please get off my back. You hurl insult after insult at me and then call me a troll who's looking for trouble. I think that's the pot calling the...

  22. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    People say that I am being inflammatory. I guess it's my fault that I have forced them to hurl insults and judgments at me. I have brought out the worst in them. Who would have thought I had such...

  23. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I never called anyone who had an abortion a psychopath. I said the woman who put the baby in a ditch was probably insane because if she were a psycopath she would have aborted it a long time...

  24. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's a good thing you're against judging

  25. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    What angry judgements toward my patients? What patient? What angry judgements? When did I get angry? But, yes, Love cannot coexist with angry judgements. I
