They're not necessarily even out of the woods yet. They're still getting aftershocks and tsunamis, and have a couple of nuke plants that might be of the verge of meltdown. It's hard to rescue survivors, recover bodies, and clean up after a disaster...

In theory, no. In reality, pretty close to yes. CNA training in my state has even been adjusted to reflect this reality.

More chocolate available? Outcome: obesity! :jester:

I've used Amazon for selling books before. Their program seems legit.

Check out the selection criteria for programs you're interested in. They can vary widely.

Do you care what image politicians, bureaucrats and health care administrators have? I would respectfully suggest that you might not be considering all the implications of public perception. As far as eating at Hooters, feel free- as long as you re...

Thoughts: -The wave of indifference has been surprising. I imagined there would be more concern about the image of the profession being sullied. -Of course she's hot. The "naughty nurse" image always is. There's nothing wrong with hotness per se. ...

The word "basketballectomy" sent me into a fit of laughter.

You've at least partly answered your own question by realizing you've been neglecting diet and exercise. Beyond that, think about what your learning style is and find resources that will help you more than reading your text seems to be. For example...

I'm sure you'll get more suggestions if you keep the thread active. But when you need an online course, I'd start by checking Phoenix or Kaplan: http://www.phoenix.edu/ http://portal.kaplanuniversity.edu/Pages/MicroPortalHome.aspx

Thanks for giving me an excuse to post this other link from the Center for Nursing Advocacy: http://www.nursingadvocacy.org/faq/hotness.html

And giving an irresponsible company a free pass when they try to exploit such a demeaning stereotype will only reinforce that.

The whole ad is meant to be stupid and campy. That's fine with me. Not that you don't have a point about the men looking particularly stupid. I'm only- and let me again specify only- objecting to the portrayal of the "naughty nurse" stereotype. B...

I'm somewhat amused and not personally offended by that ad. It's not the sexual portrayal itself in the Hooter's ad I'm objecting to. I'm objecting to that portrayal being associated with nursing.

Of course it has nothing to do with your competence. But the more the more the stereotype is spread, the more people will get the impression that the nursing profession is not to be respected. See the link I posted above to clarify the issue. But ...

Thanks for daring to not side with the wave of indifference most of the first few responders have displayed. Find further reading (long but very well-written) for those interested in finding out why nurses should be concerned about these types of po...

For those who find this offensive and degrading to the profession, I'm suggesting e-mailing their PR office to express displeasure. For those who don't, thanks for bumping the thread. If it keeps getting bumped, more people will see it.

"office-based detox and not clinic" I'm guessing this means outpatient (the patient goes home instead of staying in a facility). Also, what does "Pentazocine precipitates a withdrawal syndrom in a morphine abuser" mean? does it imply that it make th...

What videos have you been watching? I'm always recommending these videos of Professor Marian Diamond at Cal-Berkeley: http://www.youtube.com/results?client=safari&rls=en&q=integrative+biology&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&h...

The idea of testing for critical thinking skills within nursing school test questions is a noble one. But in the real world, the actual quality of the questions from the publisher's test banks doesn't always live up to what should be minimal standar...

BTW, the Purdue Owl site also has one of the best online APA style guides: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

ParkerBean: With all due respect, a NI who's not interested in science? That doesn't sound like a good fit to me...

Respiratory acidosis with partial renal compensation. Also an air embolism.

Find out the admission requirements & policies to begin preparing. Stressing is understandable, but it certainly won't help anything.

One caveat: Get any oral agreements put in writing and signed.
