  1. Anchorage

    Blackbird posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been invited there for a wedding in May this year and I'd like to give going there a shot. Thing is, as an Aussie (nursing student), I'm wide eyed and bushy tailed when it comes to checking out...

    Blackbird replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Blackbird replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

  8. Spooky Happenings on Shift?

    Blackbird replied to Blackbird's topic in General Nursing

    Blackbird replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...how many of you cringed when you read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" or winced when Orwell displayed his predictions in "Animal Farm"? How many of you said "that'll never happen" when you...

  10. What does your screenname mean?

    Blackbird replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

  11. Lexapro

    Blackbird replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Blackbird replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  14. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Blackbird replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree. It's an idea that has flowered for twenty years where I am and it's really given the nursing profession a boost in the right direction. Just quietly, I am floored as to where this discussion...

  16. How did you obtain your 1st LPN position?

    Blackbird replied to szccdw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I simply walked in the door. I located some facilities near me, called the facility, spoke to the Director, they asked me to come in for an interview, presented my (non-medical oriented!) resume,...

  18. Do you think of "Nursing Education" as a nursing specialty?

    Blackbird replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I feel it's important for a nursing educator to be a nurse, that is to have nursing degree. Likewise, I find it amazing that those who do not possess teaching qualifications are allowed to be nursing...

  21. What do you think is a major problem in nursing?

    Blackbird replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm in Australia which is totally different from the American scene so my comments pertain to the Australasian environment. Also, as I know jacksheet about nursing being very new, my views are formed...

    Blackbird replied to KimFutureLPN's topic in International Nursing

    Oooooeee! As if your presumption that US nurses have it easier or that a literate command of the English language rests only in the spoken word wasn't enough, I am DEFINITELY not touching that last...

    Blackbird replied to teemarie's topic in General Nursing

    She'll be right, mate. All you can do is learn and not take things personally. Even if you take away just one tip from here, you're doing great. I think you have amazing restraint. Five years ago, I...

    Blackbird replied to teemarie's topic in General Nursing
