Ok, I know that organ donation has been discussed here more than once, but I couldn't find anything that addressed my particular question/issue........so here goes. In this year's presidential election, many of the exit polls showed that people voted...

My opinion is that the dude (or dood) should be fired. She had her B/C filled there in the past and then, all of a sudden with no prior notification, she was denied her scrip. The method I use to voice my opinion on these matters is to make it a p...

OMG, I've said that many times! :rotfl:

We were just discussing this exact thing at my office today. I agree that quality of life should be a factor. Sometimes there is no way to know what the recipient's quality of life will be post-transplant. Many times, though, the quality of life i...

You didn't read what I wrote, did you? "I think it is very safe to assume that the same folks that voted for him (or Kerry for that matter) are not organ donors." I'll explain again. I've said it at least 3 times that MOST PEOPLE are not organ dono...

That's wonderful, but you are only one person. Most people don't donate.

I never said Bush was against organ donation! Please don't get that started! I'm just saying that Bush supporters (a lot of them) say they voted for him based on moral issues, yet most of them will not donate organs (statistically speaking). I'm ...

This is such an interesting thread! You guys certainly have some informative and interesting things to say about this subject! Sorry I haven't been more involved in the discussion, but I've had some other things pulling me away from the board. Plu...

Hey, thanks to whoever it was that referred me to http://www.unos.org. I've been reading the memorials for the past hour or so at http://www.donormemorial.org and some of them are just heartwrenching. Gives me chills. I realize it's a difficult de...

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well for you and the baby. What a wonderful Christmas gift!

By the way, I didn't start this thread to change anyone's minds, so I just didn't see any reason to put sugar-coating on my feelings on this matter. I'm so sorry if I offended anyone. Obviously, if I were trying to convince people to donate, I woul...

Thank you all for your responses. I totally agree that it is a personal decision. I don't care whether we go the opt-out or opt-in route because either gives people the opportunity to make their wishes known. I'm not really trying to judge people ...

:roll :rotfl: Well put! I love it!

I'm not an LPN, but I have a BS in zoology and now pursuing my BSN. I graduated the first time in 1993, so the first classes I took were in 1989, and they are giving me credit for them, no questions asked.

Ditto for the above responses. I still owe $$ from my first degree and now I'm borrowing more for my BSN. Unfortunately, that's just one of the downfalls of going to school in the US and I guess in Canada, too. It stinks, but like everyone else is...

I know how you feel, too. Several years ago when I was getting a different B.S. degree, I worked summers and holidays as an aide/monitor tech/ward clerk. I got that mightier-than-thou attitude from some of the other folks I worked with. I'll never...

Hey! Where in OK are you going next semester? Is it ECU? Sounds like we may be classmates next Spring!

I've been to the ED for migraines before when I was out if Imitrex. One nurse told me that she was pretty sure mine was a real one or I would be asking for narcotics, not begging for Imitrex.

It is Mirena, by the way. Thanks so much for all of your opinions. I truly appreciate it!

I have not had good luck with 'the pill.' We've explored other options and I really think the IUD is for us. I'm planning to get one next week. I have no children yet, but my husband and I are planning to have them in about 3 years (when nursing sc...

That is so funny that you guys are talking about this. I officially start in the program in January and I had a nightmare about those hats just the other day. In my dream, I was at Wal-Mart shopping for supplies with the other nursing students. As...

Thanks for the web address! I can't comment on the commercial because I haven't seen it yet, but I will look at it when I get to a computer that will let me! The commercial I like and has been very inspirational to me is the Integris commercial tha...

I have a friend that was evacuating Destin and she said is was bumper to bumper traffic and all the cars were full of people AND their pets, so apparently a lot of people take pets with them when they leave. She even saw trailers of cattle and some ...

OMG that is so funny! :rotfl:

I have a BS in zoology and decided to become an RN. I checked into both the ADN and BSN programs and it was only going to take me 1 extra semester to get my BSN as opposed to the ADN. I would think it would be about the same for a sociology degree....
