  5. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    ali_gator replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I certianly don't take my freedom for granted. I think this is quite an assumption to make about somebody you've never met. I appreciate what those who have put their lives on the line have fought...

    ali_gator replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I very much doubt you would be inclined to uproot your life and go to war for this country. Why should anyone else? Those brave enough to put their lives on the line for their country certianly...

    ali_gator replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why don't you join the military, go to war, see and experience all the horrible things that go with it, and then come back and say this? Until you have been put in a position where you are forced to...

    Well, surprise, surprise. And to think this guy was re-elected last year. :angryfire I remember when I first heard the results of last year's election. I couldn't quite recover from the shock. I...

  12. Unprofessional & Jealous!!!

    ali_gator replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is the point I was trying to make. It's always been my understanding that all NPs were created to bring healthcare to medically underserved populations; to serve those who would otherwise go...

  14. Unprofessional & Jealous!!!

    ali_gator replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not claiming that nurses have more education than they do, only that nurses ARE educated, and have intelligent things to say. Nurses provide valuable insight. Nurses, like yourself, deserve more...

    ali_gator replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Excuse me, The vast majority of the nurses I have met on this forum are educated individuals with very intelligent things to say. From what one nurse one stated, many of the discussions on their...

  16. Fear of Nursing and Bedside Care

    ali_gator replied to angelica_rn2b's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as if you're being terribly hard on yourself. Does your school have an on site counselor? Perhaps it would help to talk with somebody. Some nursing students find this helpful when they...

  17. should this girl pass nursing school?

    ali_gator replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    Also, if you decide to approach one of your instructors regarding her performance, you run the risk alienating your instructor. Your instructor may wonder if you have some underlying agenda....

  19. DrNP: What does it mean to you?

    ali_gator posted a topic in General Students

  20. should this girl pass nursing school?

    ali_gator replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    Amanda, You mentioned that she only memorizes without understanding anything. From the nursing exams I have seem, it is difficult to pass on the basis of memorization alone. They appear to require...

  21. should this girl pass nursing school?

    ali_gator replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    I'll say what I said before. If there is a serious problem, her instructor would have noticed by now. I'm sure many nurses who were the academic superstars of their classes have turned out to be...

  22. should this girl pass nursing school?

    ali_gator replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

  23. Unprofessional & Jealous!!!

    ali_gator replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ali_gator replied to navywife757's topic in General Nursing
