  1. "New Program Seeks to End Nursing Shortage and Improve Real Estate Values in US"

    VMSR replied to Mukfay's topic in General Nursing

    Chinese did not close any companies in the USA- American owners of those companies did it. And I bet all of the people complainig about influx of cheap goods from overseas love to shop at Walmart....

  2. Should I quit nursing school...?

    VMSR replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

    Duh! It was supposed to be harsh. We are all adults

  3. Should I quit nursing school...?

    VMSR replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

    Is anybody else as sick of this whining about nursing jobs as I am? This feeling of entitlement is totally killing me. Nobody is guaranteed job in this country at all, and we may yet live through even...

  4. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    VMSR replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish to thank all of you for posting in this forum. You drove me crazy, but also provided me with information, and helped pass the time until we all hear about the scholarship. I just got the email...

  5. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

    VMSR replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a bunch of baloney from people who profit by having nurses overworked and under-payed. It doesn't make any sense, even to people who are not RNs. I'm not even sure what their point is, except...

  6. Nursing...recession proof??

    VMSR replied to FAMUNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Is anyone else kid of sick of this 'jobs is not waiting for me, what shall I do' complaints? Are people living in a bubble? Do they not hear the news? There is 10% unemployment in the USA, which...

  7. tb skin test after being vaccinated with bcg

    VMSR replied to krazievi3t6url's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have the same issue, and here's what I know from personal experience. Most of the people who had BCG vaccine will have exaggerated reaction mimicking TB infection. My family physician told me not to...

  8. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

    VMSR replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's up with questions like this? It is not like you want to get pregnant: your brain, unlike your ovaries, never stops working. I'll be (God willing) starting my masters when I'm 50. My friend, who...

  9. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    VMSR replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello my fellow students! Just wanted to thank all of you lovely, OCD people for making me look into my spam folder, where my first email from HRSA was hiding. You are the best, and I hope many, many...

  10. Healthcare is a commodity

    VMSR replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, why are you asking? quote=K nurse-one-day;4425485]Jesus! Liberal

  11. Healthcare is a commodity

    VMSR replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Original post is a classical example of selfishness that is being elevated to the point of virtue in this country. It is not controversial to say that one believes healthcare is a commodity: that is...

  12. Time to call a duck a duck?

    VMSR replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Eric, I have one comment to your post: pffft! If you believe nurses are more like McDonald workers than, lets say, pharmacists, I'd like to know where you work, and avoid the place at all costs,...

  13. First injection

    VMSR posted a topic in General Students

    Hello fellow student nurses! I've just given my first two shots (sub-q and IM) today, and was pretty nervous doing it. Luckily, my partner was very cool, so it all went relatively good. I'm generally...

  14. First injection

    VMSR replied to VMSR's topic in General Students

    Flu shot clinic immunization seems like a pretty good way to get some experience. We did practice on each other, which made me more nervous. We will also practice on each other intravenous shots and I...

  15. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    VMSR replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Lisa, if you are foreign, you must have permanent residency (green card) and you have to pass TOEFL test. You will also need all your previous diplomas (high school, college) submitted to college. You...

  16. union vs. non union

    VMSR replied to mswim's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    @luvRNs Your complaints are valid, but in reality, they do not have anything to do with the union. Union does not hire, or fire people. That is the management's job. I have worked in an union...

  17. Nursing shortage no more?

    VMSR replied to Uniquemoi04's topic in General Nursing

    For all the new grads worried about jobs: nursing is still a recession proof job. I have just met tree new nurses, who all graduated in December and got their first job in area of their choice. I'm...

  18. Health Care Bill

    VMSR replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    'Medicare cuts' everybody is talking about are not actually cuts to the healthcare, but streamlining administrative and excessive unnecessary costs. Here's a nice overview from the White House web...

  19. Health Care Bill

    VMSR replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    President Obama has not signed bill yet, so we should keep all the disclaimers in mind, but I believe this will mean more jobs in healthcare in general, and consequently, more nursing jobs. Under this...

  20. Health Care Vote- Is there anyone else as confused as me?

    VMSR replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No reason for scolding on this fine Sunday. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar

  21. Health Care Vote- Is there anyone else as confused as me?

    VMSR replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My understanding is that taxes will maybe be introduced for a high-end plans (so called 'Cadillac plans'). Medicare 'cuts' will, as I understand it, not affect customers, but are eliminating loopholes...

  22. Health Care Vote- Is there anyone else as confused as me?

    VMSR replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do share your frustration. I'm normally a political junkie, but stopped following news of healthcare reform, because legislative process is driving me crazy. As you mentioned, the fact that we don't...

  23. Health Care Vote- Is there anyone else as confused as me?

    VMSR replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You don't think that hospice rep would have some ulterior motives? Also 'withholding healthcare from elderly sick' is just another phrase for 'death panels,' which have been debunked more times than I...

  24. Associates in Nursing vs Bachelors?

    VMSR replied to twinboys's topic in General Nursing

    There are no other professions I know off that have this ridiculous discussion about associate vs bachelors degree. More education is better than less education, period. This doesn't mean nurses with...

  25. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    VMSR replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I see you are 21, so you have taken classes in the last few years, which is good, because Mercy will not accept any classes taken more than 7 years ago. I also think they have a limit on how many...
