   kukitty replied to kukitty's topic in General Nursing

   You guys are the best! I do feel much better now! I went home, talked it over with my folks, and it turns out that this did work out for the best. My mom told me that since I had this extra year, I...

   kukitty posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just found out that I'm back on the wait list. They take people in order of application (if they pass the test), and they are on the 2003 applicants. I'm an '04 applicant. Looks "more promising" in...

   kukitty replied to Brian's topic in Patient Medications

   Thanks for the info. I currently am on Strattera and Concerta for adult ADHD. I'm going to talk to my doctor at my next visit! It's been pretty scary with all the new drug warnings coming out from...

4. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

   kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks! You've said it better than me. It's the middle class. Too rich to qualify for income-based program, too poor to afford a lot of the healthcare we may need. It extends to lots of other...

   kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, I'll bite. Perhaps, I just need to change stores. My local market is extremely expensive for fruits and veggies, but perhaps because we're very rural (oddly, since the produce grows right...

   kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

   Yep. It absolutely makes you feel lousy. What's wrong with the world when nutritious food or at least naturally occuring food costs so much more than processed junk? I can already tell that by making...

7. Do nurses really eat their young?

   kukitty replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

   I agree Minne! I'm not a nurse yet, but my mom is. I asked her about this phenomenon, and she furrowed her brow and said, well, there are nasty nurses out there. When she was new, she had a...

9. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

   kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

11. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    kukitty replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    i'm not a nurse yet, but some of my older friends who've been nursing for a while, said they didn't like 12s b/c they weren't really 12s, more like 14s by the time they finished charting and report....

    Thanks for the words of advice and encouragement! I took a trip to New Mexico recently, and found that what I really want to do is help people. I saw so many pueblos with extremely poor people, and I...

13. Community Health Nurse

    kukitty replied to kukitty's topic in Nursing Career

    After researching this a little more, this is not what I perhaps thought that it was. What I'm looking for is an area of nursing that will help me with my goal of serving the poorest underserved...
