    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but while I wouldn't refer to a baby boy who is not circumcised as 'gross', etc, I will not accept anyone referring to those who are circumcised as having undergone "a completely unethical...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of where anyone stands in this debate, THIS has to be one of the funniest comments I've read in quite awhile! :) I can just see it now: I'll have staff who want to use sick time "calling in...

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, ROFL, I think now you're either putting me on (but you don't strike me as the particularly witty type) or you are simply seeking to incite a negative reaction by saying nonsensical things....

    Failed course in last semester before graduating??

    RNsRWe replied to RubyRabbit's topic in LPN to RN

    The short answer is "it depends". Individual schools will have their own policies on what they will and won't accept, and whether one failure or two is their maximum before refusing consideration for...

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    And your failure to understand what I thought was a pretty simply-stated concept is indeed impressive! I'm sorry that this seems to be hard for you to follow Lack of understanding on your part does...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I just wanted to offer that none of that matters at all, it's not that you missed your chance! NONE of that fits into the criteria for Level and Step: you can have a ton of voluntary CEUs, a ton of...

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Again, it is YOU who are misunderstanding; I assume you did not read MY post that set this off in the first place, and therefore cannot understand why Canigraduate wrote what she did. Canigraduate was...

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    And that isn't the point I was making, not even in the ballpark. MY post said that in "girl-talk" with female friends, it seemed that the decided preference in that group of women (I said I did not...

    RNsRWe replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how your husband is going to handle your working Christmas Eve, Day, New Year's, Thanksgiving, etc etc? My honest reaction, developed maybe halfway through what you were writing, was...

    better to do ASN at a community college?

    RNsRWe replied to mangoman's topic in General Students

    Well.......what really matters in the end for the OP is whether these credits will be transferrable AND whether a license is going to be issued at all for where he/she would like to

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is in response to a quoted post of mine, I think clarification is in order. I was writing about a stated preference amongst the women with whom I've had such conversations, not anything...

    better to do ASN at a community college?

    RNsRWe replied to mangoman's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is really the case that there are online programs that are not accepted for licensing. Excelsior is one such school; I'm sure there are others but not off the top of my head. It's Monday,...

    Hospital-based programs are also known as diploma nursing programs, but are NOT ASN programs. A diploma nursing program is one that has all the clinical and classroom components required to allow a...

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    If the Standards Board has your resume and has met to discuss it, then that's that; they don't allow any "selling of oneself" like in the private sector. Salary is based on a pretty specific set of...

    The testimonials are from men OTHER than this one (Morris), so unless they are all lying, it's THEIR stories that give it credibility. Their stories, are, after all, THEIR

    RNsRWe replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't see the builidng and running of a hospital as contrary to the quote you provided. I don't understand what is so strange about the concept of a group of people (whether religious or not)...

    Drunk and high students at clinical

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Just as an fyi, OP states that these other students told her they had been out drinking until 5am, and they were all at clinicals at 6am. Effectively, still intoxicated; the hangover would have hit...

    Thank you for the link, VERY eye-opening! To be honest, while I found their discussions of the malodorous/hygienic condition unpleasant, I was glad to hear that those who had to deal with what was...

    Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    RNsRWe replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    When I started in nursing school, of course I daydreamed about what kind of nursing specialty I might go into after graduation, talked with dh, family, and got their input on what THEY thought I might...

    RNsRWe replied to ashleegarris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You CAME here asking for help, you just didn't know that you would receive advice that you didn't realize you really did need. Your responses seem childish, and with low academic indicators, and NOT...

    RNsRWe replied to ashleegarris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, Paco, you agreed with me (appreciated) but gave a "like" to that rather rude response by Miss Ashlee? As for the rest, considering her rudeness, you gave some VERY good information and advice,...

    This is not the OP's only post; there are others, in other threads, that allow a broader picture to be viewed of her situation. It's not 'jumping to conclusions' when all of the components have been...
