1. Is health care a "right"

   StephanieZie replied to tulip5's topic in Activism

   No, it's not a right. How can you possibly have a right to anything that somebody else has to provide for you? The only true right is the right to be left alone and allowed to exist, and if fact, by guaranteeing healthcare to everyone regardless of...

2. Who are PCTs accountable to?

   StephanieZie replied to StephanieZie's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks you guys, I appreciate the feedback. I agree that the situation seems a little odd, but PCTs are new on my floor, so they're still figuring out the most effective ways to utilize them. There have been alot of adjustments and management has g...

3. Who are PCTs accountable to?

   StephanieZie posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've noticed two schools of thought on PCT responsibilities: 1) PCTs are there to relieve nurse workload and their accountability lies to the nurses on their shift 2) PCTs have their own workloads and assignments and their accountability lies to ...

4. Staffing during hurricanes?

   StephanieZie replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

   We weathered hurricane Gustav at the LTC I worked at last year. Nobody was forced to come in to work during that time, but they provided sleeping arrangements and food for those who did. I came in one night, but couldn't stay because my hubby had t...

5. Question about A&P

   StephanieZie replied to StephanieZie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm sorry about your friend, I completely understand! Just got an email back from ONE of my programs saying that A&P are actually not pre-reqs, they are taken the first semester of the program, so score with that! The other program I'm not sure...

6. Question about A&P

   StephanieZie replied to StephanieZie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is SUCH a bummer, but thanks for your answer. I'll call them tomorrow to be sure. Just a rant: I really wish schools would be more lenient with what types of pre-reqs they accept, as it makes it really hard for someone coming from an educatio...

7. I am NOT getting MATH!

   StephanieZie replied to stefonee356's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel you, math has always been my stumbling block too, especially algebra. I just had to review it for the GRE, and all I can say is practice practice practice. Math is one of those subjects where you can know all the rules, but still have troubl...

8. Question about A&P

   StephanieZie posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just recently decided that nursing school might be for me, and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can on the whole process. I'm a complete newbie to the world of pre-nursing, so in advance I want to thank anyone who replies for their time, ...

   StephanieZie replied to KristenNola's topic in Louisiana

   Never mind, I just got an email back from them, and she said cultural anthropology can substitute!

10. LSU BSN program Spring 2013

    StephanieZie replied to KristenNola's topic in Louisiana

    Well, I'm actually thinking about applying for CARE, and I'd read that the admission deadline was January 15th for Fall 2013. I wonder if they accept CLEP in place of the course? There's no way I can have the pre-req fulfilled by Jan 15th if they i...

11. LSU BSN program Spring 2013

    StephanieZie replied to KristenNola's topic in Louisiana

    Good luck to everyone...I had a question about LSU's sociology pre-req requirement. I know some places say it can be sociology or something else like poli-sci, cultural anthropology, etc., so I was just wondering, when LSU says "sociology - 3 hours"...
