    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in Male Nursing Students

    elijahvegas posted a topic in General Nursing

    does anyone else get tired of hearing (from other SNAs/hopefuls/vets) what we nurses are "suppose" to be like ? i read through thread after thread of how if you're not "compassionate to the core" and...

    Colorful Shoes - Unprofessional?

    elijahvegas replied to applesxoranges's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    the way i see it, there are so many rules and regulations in school and work and between these facilities about covering up tattoos, facial hair, hair length, earrings, uniforms and the whole 9 that...

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I get that, believe me I do. But it's not fair to only take it how you (not you specifically; the reader in general) want to take it and leave It at that, especially when I'm trying to explain myself....

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    so what youre saying is that it took a specific cert that incorporated these topics for you to really dial in on it hm ? This to me implies that you believe someone who wasn't completely enthralled...

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank God youre done. I asked for specific quotes that you were unable to provide, and instead quoted other things unrelated to what I asked for to prove a point that nobody was debating. But I'm glad...

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've been quoted. I asked for a quote when I said ethics and legal and such aren't Important. This post didn't really start getting out of hand until the other posts were incorporated. Everyone...

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    Enough with the Inferences. Go back and quote exactly where I said ethics and legal are not Important to nursing and/or ems. And as a matter of fact I wasn't even the first to mention ems in this. Nor...

    elijahvegas posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    How High Is the Demand For Male CNA's /LPN's/RN's?

    elijahvegas replied to pinktulips008's topic in Men in Nursing

    i wouldn't call it so much a "demand" for males in the field, but theyre definitely welcomed. Think of it as a scholarship. It always goes to the most deserving, but it helps when youve got that...

    elijahvegas replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think any one profession is better/smarter or anything-er more than the other. I've always said they're 2 different beasts. And I hate the animosity between nurses and ems. I know medics often...
