  1. MSN in Leadership - interview

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to cvrnhopeful's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to elgpak's topic in General Students

    Nursing is not worse that retail employee, warehouse worker, waiter, 70 hours a week deskjobs, exploited CPAs, overworked engineers, etc. You say nursing is a horrible profession, but have you worked...

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Eru Ilúvatar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  14. About U.S. vacation time..

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I am guessing that people don't take advantage of the system as to cause it to become a issue. You may be surprised how in more socialized societies, its members keep the whole group wellbeing ahead...

  15. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps most healthcare professionals trust the CDC because they apply the scientific method and conduct extensive research in any subject before releasing an statement. All the compounds that you...

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah Mr. Trump...! The expert of many things but the true master of none. At least he is filthy rich. I notice that some people with money tend to act as if they were experts in topics, just because...

  17. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    Is not about locking them out of classes, is about the punctuality and the ability to follow directions. A nurse that does not follows proper directions and protocols, can eventually end up killing a...

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to elgpak's topic in General Students

    Are you implying that nursing is a second class profession? We don't need calculus, or to know integrals to do our work, but give an engineer the job of caring and improving the life of a human being...

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students
