  5. Underage drinking question? please help

    fltopp1 replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    I was a Deputy Sheriff before I became a nurse and depending on your state they can send a ticket in the mail. It happens all the time, just like the van that takes your picture in an intersection and...

  6. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    fltopp1 replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    fltopp1 replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

  9. Will LPN's be around for long?

    fltopp1 replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    fltopp1 replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

  11. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    fltopp1 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

  12. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    fltopp1 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    My opinion is that it comes down to the school itself. I believe we all take the same NCLEX so the school itself IMHO doesnt really matter. Yes the BSN has many more credits needed and lots of...

  15. Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    fltopp1 replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    LOL, if no one disputes them as nurses then why be classified as something different. The VA is slowly weeding out LPN positions for only RN's. Its sad because I know of a lot of LPN's who are in many...

  19. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    fltopp1 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They do have medicare however as we know it doesnt cover nearly enough on the retirement income they are on. The plan they had then lost was much more helping in prescriptions which is what they need...

  21. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    fltopp1 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This I will agree with you on. The government has been messed up for a very very long time. I have no problem with healthcare for all. I do strongly have a belief that this current mess of a plan...

    fltopp1 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are correct, it is easy for me to blame the people who squeeze our system dry of the money that you and I have to put itno to pay for their free handouts. Its easy where I live to see these...
