  1. LPN's Are Lower Class People?????

    Alpha13 replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I agree with labeling LPNs as lower class but I have to play devil's advocate with you: 1. You guys live in Detroit 2. You have 3 young children presumably before either of you have...

  2. Men In Aged Care

    Alpha13 replied to Young Woman's topic in General Nursing

    If by aged care you mean teenaged care then yes I am all for

  3. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

    Alpha13 replied to Outdoor1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What makes you think that the CRNA profession is above the task of fighting for its interests? Are nurses special in some regard that the docs and AAs just aren't? And do you honestly think that CRNAs...

  4. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

    Alpha13 replied to Outdoor1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are very confused about what is good for CRNAs my friend. Guys, I know it's tempting to use every opportunity to start a debate about AAs but is this really a good time to? Please I implore you,...

  5. You guys need some stress relief

    Alpha13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok it's quite obvious from reading around that this forum has many people feeling like this :angryfire all day, so for your sanity as well as the people around you, please check out this website:...

  6. You guys need some stress relief

    Alpha13 replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a philosphical debate, lol. Ok I'm not going to say that its always bad to vent here. In some cases it may help. But too many people use it as an excuse to go on about any ridiculous thing,...

  7. Why are RN's so fat!

    Alpha13 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree... the fat population is definitely overrepresented in nursing! I think its sad that so many people in the health care field don't even care about their own health. There are no excuses folks,...

  8. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Alpha13 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's only hypocrisy if we try to attack the AA professon based on their standard of care. Get past that and acknowledge that this is is a political/monetary battle and suddenly it is obvious again why...

  9. Am I Being Unreasonable? Please Give Me Your Opinion!

    Alpha13 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Well I guess I'll be the only one to say that you are being unreasonable. Priority is alway given to full timers. If it didn't work that way people could just work a shift at 4 different hospitals to...

  10. Physics as a prereq

    Alpha13 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know some schools require physics as a prequisite course so I'm going to take it next semester. Question is should I be fine taking only the first class (4 units) or do the CRNA programs that...

  11. Physics as a prereq

    Alpha13 replied to Alpha13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks. As far as checking with the schools, I don't have any specific programs in mind yet because I'm still a few years away from applying. Do you know how many of those 102 programs require...

  13. Nursing and The Social Class

    Alpha13 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    These nationwide measurements are not accurate because they don't take into account the area you live in. $60,000 is not upper middle class in CA or any other area that has large cities (There is a...

  14. Micro and A&P???

    Alpha13 replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking both of these classes with high A's in both. The key is to find out who the easiest teachers are (I feel teachers are even more important of a factor than the course material when it comes...

  15. What's special about male nurses?

    Alpha13 replied to GBS_Fan's topic in General Nursing

    Please lets not allow ourselves to buy into these stereotypes! I assure you that I can make blatant lies about my coworkers behind their backs and still act like the victim's best friend just like any...

  16. Cal State Long Beach Students!!!

    Alpha13 replied to barbie q's topic in California Nursing

    Oh man I hope you get into this program so I can see you in person. You sound like a real character! The TEAS is required for all CSUs I believe. The lottery system has to be implemented because...

  17. Can someone point me to a physiology site that covers this?

    Alpha13 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, The question is: Describe the complete complement pathway. The answer doesn't seem to be in my book so I think I'll have to look online. Does anyone know a good website for this topic?

  18. How much do CNA's make in So Cal?

    Alpha13 replied to Alpha13's topic in California Nursing

    Is no one starting at $14+? The guys I talked to said this pay was easy to find at long term care facilities like nursing and convalescence

  19. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Alpha13 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wait! this thread is missing a good ending line! Give me a sec... And with that I declare this thread

  20. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Alpha13 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So many posts that keep rehashing the same arguments. I'll just break down the one below because I feel it covers the most

  21. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Alpha13 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Too many people let the law define their morals. I'll dare to say that I can break the law and still remain a decent, ethical person. That doesn't mean I look for laws to break and I can certainly...

  22. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Alpha13 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Question for those who condemn these CRNAs: Would you feel the same way if their drug of choice was cigarretes or alcohol? I ask because you guys seem to assume they have some drug abuse/addiction...

  23. Im A "failure.".....I screwed up in my first Bio exam in A & P 2! Give me some

    Alpha13 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Glad someone saw it :wink2: I guess I should have added a at the end. But ya there are a million of these "OMG I need a shoulder to cry on threads" and the title of this one finally compelled me to...

  24. Im A "failure.".....I screwed up in my first Bio exam in A & P 2! Give me some

    Alpha13 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I can not lie to you. It is true, this failure on your part ruins your dreams of ever becoming a nurse!

  25. Opinion on taking Chemistry & Anatomy together??????

    Alpha13 replied to momto2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your anatomy course is pure anatomy (no phys) it will be strictly memorization. This class will take A LOT of study time for an A (not so much for a B/C) I don't know what kind of Chem you are...
