  1. Good or Evil?

    Monist posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know, without getting too deep, that the only purpose a human being serves is to build the Kingdom of God in the physical world. Nursing provides a fantastic opportunity to do just that and still be...

  2. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    no i don't. i can only describe things as they appear to me to be. i was only wondering if anyone in this forum would consider the situation evil. but it's time to move on to new business i think. the...

  3. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. Well, it sounds like you had a positive learning environment in school. The

  4. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    No. I'm not, actually. The

  5. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    I was a student, and I didn't trust my own observations at the time. The

  6. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Good point! The

  7. ER last night made me mad!

    Monist replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    You have got to be who I think you are. There cannot be two of you. I notice you just joined this group today. Nevermind. Have a nice life. The

  8. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    No. But I learned a lot. I'll never do the same thing when I'm an RN. The

  9. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's a broad definition of the word, but it's close. Technically, I'm an acosmic monist. I believe that only God exists and everything else is an illusion created by God, and so doesn't...

  10. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    You don't believe in God? And we are not then meat puppets? Interesting dichotomy. I think you don't believe in God because you don't see the forest for the trees. Be that as it may, I agree with your...

  11. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Your theories are very intriguing, except for one small detail: I'm not an RN yet; I was a student. So, discount me, but I saw what I saw. If it makes you more comfortable, we can just drop this whole...

  12. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    once again, what are you talking about? you seem to be quite strange...almost scary. it really frightens me that you take care of patients! i wish i had a dime... oddly enough, i pray before every...

  13. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's surely one way to make the evil disappear: just invent a whole new scenario where it doesn't exist. The

  14. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny that you're a secular humanist and don't believe in God, since God, Himself, aspires to be a secular humanist and has to try really hard to believe we exist. But that's another topic. So...

  15. ER last night made me mad!

    Monist replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    you know, you never had to profess it at all, and i still would have guessed that you're a christian. i, myself, am not. but i certainly agree with your statement about attitude in perineal care. as...

  16. ER last night made me mad!

    Monist replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    given your attitude, i'll bet my attitude really does bug you. but here's the real difference: i'm not waiting for mds to grant me status or professionalism. i couldn't care less what they think about...

  17. What is the best things I could do to prepare for my senior year?

    Monist replied to nurseRNtobe's topic in General Nursing

    Study pharmacology. That's all I can say, since I don't know the sylabus for your final two semesters. Good luck. The

  18. ER last night made me mad!

    Monist replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Helping someone onto a bedpan who can't get out of bed to use the toilet is perhaps the greatest honor you will ever have in this world. The rest (money, credentials, power) is all just smoke and...

  19. Good or Evil?

    Monist replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    I find it interesting that no one has a response to the question: is it evil to withold pain medication from a patient you don't "like." Perhaps good and evil is too deep to talk about, or perhaps it...

  20. New ....

    Monist replied to RobbieAllee's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, we make probably some of the lowest wages in the US. But, I will start at 31,000 a year working 36 hrs/wk. I personally will work more. I wouldn't feel like a professional or a man if I...

  21. Background Checks

    Monist replied to wilsonkr's topic in General Nursing

    One can only assume what you are saying is the complete truth of the situation. No one can answer this question for you. The BON decides who will be a nurse and who won't. Only they can answer this...

  22. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Monist replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many people who come to nursing do so because they either know directly or sense that it is one of the greatest tools for building the Kindgom of God. Naturally, there will tend to be more Christians...

  23. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    Monist posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from a very tough ADN program, and the instructors, even at the pinning, were telling us how we need to advance our education. Hogwash! Surely, I will get nationally certified (CCRN,...

  24. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    Monist replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm saying it doesn't matter if women are professionals or not. I'm saying we are a male dominated species, so men call the shots. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is reinforced by women more...

  25. ADN vs BSN

    Monist replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    The only education that is required is what the industry demands. Formal education marches to the beat set by the industry it serves. The rest is just smoke and mirrors and academic musing. Right now,...
