  1. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying here completely, and of course there is nothing wrong with someone referring to a fine piece of real estate as "God's country". The only problem is, I do not believe...

  2. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Being that you're done, I don't expect a reply. Good. Sorry, but the way the comment was phrased, little interpretation could be derived from it but

  3. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    It is rhetoric like this that alienates "the south" from not only the rest of the country, but the rest of the world. It's inflammatory. This attitude that God favors the South first, the rest of...

  4. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Okay---- yes! And it is also unfortunate because most of the people that I have found myself the most comfortable with upon first introduction have that mountain twang. I'm a place about 1 hr. from...

  5. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I think you got my original meaning across better than I did. I did not intend to offend anyone. I am from the rural foothills of NC and the only way I "escape" heavy regional accents and thick...

  6. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahah! No, I actually do not say "y'all", at least not anymore. I've compromised-- I say "you all". Better or worse? I don't

  7. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    LuvMyGamecocks, you have not thoroughly read my posts. I answered this question before you asked it. Ignorance to English grammatical rules and phoenetics, blah blah blah. I feel like you are on...

  8. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    To the first part, applies to anyone with a dialect so heavy and english so broken that it prevents a fellow english-speaker from understanding them. To the second part, I'm not saying it is a...

  9. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    You are entirely right Marie-- they could have "some other issue aside from intelligence or education" that prevents them from speaking correctly, but that would be the exception, not the

  10. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps that was poor clarification on my part. As I said, I was born and raised in the south, and I attend a southern university. As to whether other parts of the country give a better education...

  11. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with you that ignorant or stupid people can come from any part of "the world" and sloppy accents are certainly not limited to the south. It is the heavy bias of the poster's reply that I...

  12. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    jameeladf replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Well, way to write an entirely biased reply. I was born and raised in North Carolina where the accents may vary from southern aristocratic to hillbilly mush. Personally, I find some very thick...

  13. I want to become a CRNA

    jameeladf replied to Mimi's nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Keep your GPA up in the undergrad studies!!! That can not be stressed enough (and I mean above a 3.5). The higher the better. Also, I'm assuming you realize that you will not be accepted into a...

  14. testosterone and curly hair?

    jameeladf replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure your hair stylist gave you some inaccurate information. The testestosterone levels in the body do not change significantly for women as they get older-- the estrogen levels do. When...

  15. are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse?

    jameeladf replied to misouritraveller's topic in General Nursing

    This is silly. No one is "born". There are certainly some that are more naturally caring than others, but experience and life plays a major role in developing and expanding those tendencies. If you...

  16. Men in Nursing Historical Timeline

    jameeladf replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is very interesting and

  17. Worried a past mistake will mess up my nursing chances

    jameeladf replied to Bethey0622's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you could only be asked if you have been officially charged of a crime. I don't think being arrested alone actually

  18. Help...are these feelings "normal"

    jameeladf replied to TallyJofutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi TallyJo- I have worked on the nursing unit of a retirement community for two years. It is very normal to feel saddened by the state of the residents you are caring for, it would be abnormal...

  19. Info on colonics

    jameeladf replied to kbclary4's topic in General Nursing

    Fifteen colonics? Wow.....scary:stone

  20. artificial nails vs bloody bitten nails

    jameeladf replied to midwest40's topic in General Nursing

    Actually "sphynx" I wasn't calling the poster revolting, I said the habit was revolting, so I suggest you endeavor to re-read any post you reply to because you don't seem to catch everything...

  21. artificial nails vs bloody bitten nails

    jameeladf replied to midwest40's topic in General Nursing

    Nail-biting is such a revolting habit, and biting your nails until they bleed puts you on the same playing field as wild animals licking their wounds raw. Get help from someone, get some sort of...

  22. When circ's go bad...

    jameeladf replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that what is most upsetting and hard for me to accept as eithical/humane is the fact that most of the circumcisions performed on infants are performed without

  23. baths?

    jameeladf replied to roxburin's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dear Sir- This apprehension towards giving baths is really too bad because the as mentioned by other posts here, it is a part of a nurse's task from time to time, in specific units or hospitals...
