  1. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    The FOCUS on mental illness is not only a red herring for the NRA, it can also be DISTURBING, as there have always been people who have EMOTIONS (up and down), who do not FIT THE "MOLD" and until the mid 20th century, there were still TORTUOUS mental...
  2. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    The focus on these other objects is the use of a red herring fallacy: Red herring is an English-language idiom that commonly refers to a type of logical fallacy in which a clue is intentionally or unintentionally misleading or distracting from the ...
  3. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Maybe you went to Australia more than 20 years ago, as since 1996 they have had some of the strongest laws in the world.... There was a student in my government class in college who was from Australia and he was was strongly for us enacting bans as t...
  4. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Ignoring the fact that the shootings are happening with dangerous, semi-automatic assault weapons which can kill massive amounts of people then diverting the topic to bombs is not only unrelated to the topic of banning these dangerous weapons, it is ...
  5. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    This false dilemma that there can only be two outcomes: 100% success or 100% failure (black and white thinking) and if a single, not strong enough law is not AS successful as it could be, then the entire concept must be thrown out. This does not make...
  6. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I don't see how you can compare America, a democratic republic, to countries which were not democracies or republics. All of your first examples are not democratic republics as we are. One of the greatest accomplishments of America is its DEMOCRAC...
  7. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    This post basically attacks me and does not attack the issue at hand. I did answer your questions, however, I did it within one post and my posts are also meant to be seen by others since this is a public forum so I am posting to show them my argumen...
  8. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    The OP did not say to ban all guns (the ones which cannot injure or kill entire crowd of people and would be excessive in regular recreational use). They said to ban the semi-automatic, dangerous assault weapons used mainly for one purpose: to attack...
  9. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    This is not about politics. I am a moderate, I feel not significant strength toward any particular side and am willing to hear both sides until I make my decisions. Stating it is all about politics is avoiding the issue of these events occurring with...
  10. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    You are chopping up my arguments and not responding to my post in full... nevertheless, I will not chop up yours and I will respond to it with a fluid, complete thought. Although you are not afraid of these objects capable of being used to kill, othe...
  11. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    The First Amendment is NOT about technology which can be used to kill and injure an entire crowd of people. Therefore, it is unrelated to the discussion. I knew you feared the government... Further, there is no use in needing to overthrow it with sem...
  12. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Having to quote 4 LONG posts made by only two people... First off, PMRB-RN, just merely because you aren't afraid of semi-automatic assault weapons (e.g., copy cats of those used in the military) DOES NOT mean they are not dangerous and harmful on th...
  13. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Not if you ban assault weapons. Do you REALLY want to go up against one? I don't think so. Are you REALLY going to use an assault weapon for hunting deer, rabbits, ect.? NO. It is NOT USEFUL. You can do it without a semi-automatic weapon. There is no...
  14. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    "Paper, pens, printing presses, radio, TV, the internet, cell phones" are NOT used to kill people as or be massive weapons. There is NO logic in this spiral argument. Guns (especially the semi-automatic kind) are PRIMARILY used to injure or kill anot...
  15. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Why is it we always talk about mental health care, NRA fans useing to avoid the topic of assult weapon bans? Many people who use these semi-automatic weapons are not mental. They claim they are mental for their defense cases, but otherwise their sche...
  16. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I liked this comment because of this sentence! We are not talking about little small muskets we are talking about massive killing machines! We do not these out on the streets and I read IndiCRNA's comment that it didn't do anything. Over the summer a...
  17. Got accepted!!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU MADE IT!!!!!! Time for celebration! :woot:!
  18. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I agree with RESTORING the The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which was in place in the 1990's like NRSKarenRN. Basically there are copy cats on the street since it expired and one was used in Color...
  19. GPA and major?

    Merry Christmas! I too have heard about nurses going onto to apply to medical school. I don't know one personally, but from a friend I heard about one (a man who works at the local hospital) who is working as an RN while fulfilling more med school pr...
  20. The Nightmare known as Psychiatric Care Part One

    This past sounds unbelievably barbaric to me and HAPPILY a part of the PAST of medicine. Lobotomy, asylums, wet sheet treatment - it sounds akin to the backwards use of leeches centuries ago and the use of no anesthetics. These treatments were not sc...
  21. Failed anatomy and physiology course...questioning my choices

    It doesn't sound like you want to be a nurse. If you don't want to be a nurse, why do it? If you do want to do it, then do it. Map a course and follow it to a T. I'd say still repeat the class no matter the choice for your major because one nasty gra...
  22. Help please

    English is not my second language, but knowing a second language can be beneficial. There are always job offerings for multilingual nurses
  23. Newly single mom....will nursing still work for me?

    Nahla if you are not working how are you going to support yourself and your children, though? I'd say stay in school and work
  24. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    oops I meant gloryfied also
  25. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    No, she does not have CLINICAL depression and does not need PILLS or counseling! Although I agree with the latter part of your message, it is fine to be sad sometimes and have feelings. People can be sad for a day. They're not always going to be happ...
