    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i do think the study of the phenomena should be included in graduate level curriculum as required study. i don't mean that the techniques should be taught by faculty as though they're fact. i mean...

  14. Hello, I am a new member, Help!!

    traumahawk99 replied to dedicatedfemale's topic in Online Distance Learning

  16. Information Systems....

    traumahawk99 replied to QTMedic4life's topic in Online Distance Learning

    traumahawk99 replied to ostomyrn2b09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "In most of these modalities, certainly in TT and Reiki, the practioner is a conduit for a healing energy, not the source of it. The practioner is ALSO receiving a healing energy, as well as the...

  20. Dear Abbey, about a nurse

    traumahawk99 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    that's about the dumbest thing i've read in a while. who is dear abby anyway? someone who dyes her hair to look older and wiser? it's so phoney that it's the cheese-whiz of advice columns. not to...

  23. Any experience with Excelsior "RN to Masters"?

    traumahawk99 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    working your way from any sort of physics to the belief that i can use my forces to align your forces is a huge jump without any clear evidence. how can it be called anything except faith? it would...

  25. does therapeutic touch belong in grad programs?

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students
