    parfum replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

  4. Health Care is a right

    parfum replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    parfum replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The rest of the world, both rich and undeveloped countries, know and understand this. It's only the USA that doesn't: Universal health care is implemented in all industrialized countries, with the...

  6. Democrats want everyone else to pay for the health care

    parfum replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    parfum replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    parfum replied to Student4_life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can't find it right now, but a couple of years ago I found links to official sites with NCLEX pass rates statewide where you can compare the results. At the time, some NY and NJ community colleges...

  15. Crazy things pt's do for pain meds.

    parfum replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I suppose everyone here would think I was crazy, too -- for not wanting to take pain meds (they upset my stomach and give me hives) YET still be made free of whatever pains were "killing me" at the...

  16. Our hospital is going SMOKE FREE!

    parfum replied to CCLOUD9's topic in General Nursing

    It's a wonder to me that any hospitals would still have indoor smoking rooms! All the corporate offices I've worked in did not allow for that and made them freeze outside in the winter! Of course,...

  17. Changing Jobs... I think??

    parfum replied to MossyOakGirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, my grandmother would say that it's just polite to write a nice thank-you note within a couple of days of seeing you for an interview. That way, you can also touch base with her and reiterate...

  18. health consciousness

    parfum posted a topic in General Nursing

    parfum replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    What about those of us who might just want a little change of scenery while training to become nurses? Would the UK admissions/immigration be as hostile to those of us who have definite plans of going...

  21. Which pre-reqs to take first?

    parfum replied to WDW4ever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it was suggested elsewhere on this board to take A&P (or whatever 'hard' science you need) on its own in the summer term so as to be able to concentrate fully and not be stressed out about the...

  22. Goal is to become Nurse in Air Force or Army

    parfum replied to Napiertj's topic in Government, Military

    also, wouldn't the air force pick up the school tab? or, at least part of it? why not choose an academically reputable school rather than a for-profit
