  1. Outrageous Tuition for CNA Classes

    MarySunshine replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    MarySunshine replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I see what you mean Lilpeanut, but I was thinking that just because something is legal doesn't mean it's always right. It's a tough

  5. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Kidney infection. And I have seen a lot of information. This thread is about the morality of lawsuits, based on the supposition that there was, in fact, some amount of negligence. It wasn't really...

  6. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Kris, what if the case changed the improper practice of a nonapologetic physician and you used the money in ways that would honor your God and your husband? The woman you described in the mall sounds...

  7. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    See, I don't know that my physician was a bad physician. I think she made a bad mistake. I would assume, if she has a conscience, she won't make it again. So, should I go with my assumption? I'm...

  8. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

  11. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Walkaman, it's not really up for discussion whether or not it was the medical professionals' fault in my case. It was. I totally understand your feelings in regards to the nice new homes, cars, etc of...

  12. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    MarySunshine replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both for your affirming words. I am sorry for the loss of your son, Jess. It's a very difficult thing to experience. What if a settlement was enough money for us to by a modest house? Would...

  13. Parent vs. Non-parent L&D nurses: Does it make a difference?

    MarySunshine replied to JacelRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's what one nurse I work with told me, except she said it's like saying you shouldn't work cardio until you have a heart attack. Except that if you actually did have a heart attack (or were in...

  15. nursing school really FULL TIME???

    MarySunshine replied to brandy119's topic in General Nursing

    My classes weren't 8hours, they were 3 hours. A couple of semesters I've had 5 hours of class on some days. You could have a 3 hour class and a two hour lab that starts one hour after the class ends....

  16. I am worth less for Christmas?!?!?

    MarySunshine replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she's saying she resents doing someone a favor because she's not getting something really awesome in return. I think they're two separate points: she's happy to do something nice for...

    MarySunshine replied to xxpnoisnxx's topic in Nursing Career

    My BSN is going to end up costing me about $12,000. But, of course, it's costing me four years of my life and I'm really struggling to keep up the enthusiasm for multiple choice tests. :) I suggest...

    MarySunshine replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety, do people sign up for 8 hour shifts intending to work

  21. Is nsg school part of the problem with the profession?

    MarySunshine replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post, Talaxandra!! One thing I have noticed is that even the professors who take dissenting opinions well have a very "well, unfortunately, that's just the way it's always been..." attitude....

  22. Need advice for overcoming or manageing gag reflex.

    MarySunshine replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    She could keep a small handkerchief scented with a fragrance of her choice in her pocket. She could casually pull it out and "wipe her nose/face" with it when needed. There are a variety of strong...

  23. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

    MarySunshine replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly agree that nurses should be experts in interpersonal skills. I tend to believe that most people who go to nursing school are pretty decent with their people skills already, and while it...

  24. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

    MarySunshine replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I am a senior year BSN student and I don't feel like I know a damned thing. Like someone else said, there is so much BS! I spent all summer working as a CNA and I learned 10x more than I ever learned...

    MarySunshine replied to carlalogan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing a four year BSN program while my husband is working on a master's degree. We don't have kids. It has definitely been tough for us, financially and time-wise. But not in this exaggerated...
