has hired that devil of a handsome doctor to help all the people with projectile vomiting, only to find out he.......

i did not know that, i am way out of the game the LOL, i'm only 20 and i told my parents no to the MD degree because UWI's programme took forever and cost way to much, and chose nursing b/c of the great nurses that took care of me. thanks for that info

Has anyone heard of the ND programme now being offered by Case Western Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing. What do you think about offering ND degrees as opposed to DNsc or a PhD in nursing? Would you be interested in obtaining this degree? It sounds interesting to me but I'm only a nursing student so I have a few years to see how many other schools start to adopt ND programmes. what do practicing nurses think about this? thanks, candi

that has to be the best story ever, i'm trying not to cry but i'm already tearing up, you have someone very special pulling for you.

bahama papa, :chuckle I WATCHED TOO, i seem to watch DHC everyday now for all the Birth Day, Amazing Baby, I lost it, Residents and so on and so forth lol, congrats, i get that feeling too, this is going to sound really sad and crazy lol, but i i'm doing clinicals at one hospital and classes on campus, so saturday at like 11 pm i drove down Broad St in Philly to see the hospital i would be doing clinicals at crayz i know...good luck and you will do excellent of course you have no choice, cause i will hunt you down and make you represent bahamas proudly :) later :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

wal mart is a breeding/meeting ground of unmentionables. Child abuse should not be tolerated especially when it's something like you witnessed. when i was younger mummy would only pinch me enough to get my attention to behave and it would always be on the arm or thigh someplace nondescript and no threat to my immediate health. too many children are abused daily with no one to help, i say KUDOS to you for at least trying. i only wish you would have told her why it was extra dangerous to block the supply of oxygen to a small child. :angryfire :angryfire

as my bahamian best fren would say "well muddasick dread". i am completely astonished at the original question. having dreads does not, let me repeat DOES NOT indicate poor hygiene on part of the wearer. the number one rule in having dreads is to wash them everyday day so that they naturally lock togetherw/ minimum combing lots of cleaning (my uncle douglas has these). when you have fashion locs (the neats people seem to think are so "normal") you have to redo every one to two weeks depending on the length of your hair and you use products to keep them in place so they can be cute (minimum combing required, uncle andrew has these). hair traps dirt because it's hair and we're alive, this is why i wash mine twice a week. hygiene problems are the only reason the lady in your class would have a foul order coming from her hair (or certain products that have raunchy odors, like dandruff products, Pine Tar #1). No hospital or business corporation can tell you how to wear ur hair unless it is posing a serious risk to someone's health and well being (ponytails seem to work fine in hospitals and barettes).

hi, i don't know if you still need this information, but i will be starting jefferson's methodist programme in september. it is an ASN-BSN programme and their is housing offered as well as really good financial aide. she would pursue her ASN portion first at the methodist or geisenger (sorry for the spelling) as i saw you were close to that campus and then after finishing the ASN portion she would be able to work and find a hospital who would be willing to pay for the BSN portion or she could delay admission into the BSN portion and work or she could continue straight through. hope this helps you

we also got our uniform requirements at orientation on monday and we have to wear the landau style uniforms, head to toe white and no sneakers

i am taking an asn-bsn programme which is 4 yours in length, i am taking this path because it is very expensive for international students going to university in the us and my parents wanted me to not have to go through the endless ecfgs and then get approval for the nclex. after i pass the asn portion i can start working (after passing i pray) and the get wherever i work to pay for the bsn portion of my programme. it's never wrong to get more education, it's just wrong to never pursue your potential. do wat is most beneficial to urself, ur family (if u have one) and take life by the reigns and then ride on.

i am not a mom but my mom is (haha, inside joke between her n i, silly i kno) in my CNA course we were told to never let the grandparents co-sleep if they had a grandchild over, which is perfectly understandable, but wen i transferred to the hospital we had a big discussion about it. my baby sis is going on 4 now, i'm 20 and she still co sleeps (much to the chagrin of my dad who i don't think has slept in the same bed as my mom since she was pregnant) when we went in the hospital for delivery they advocated heavily that my mother let her sleep in the crib because of all of the benefits to parent and child and my mother looks and her and says (just to inject a little humour here), "dear, i'm 34, u look about 24 (actually she was 22) and this is my third daughter, the first is standing next to me and as u can see she is perfectly fine and she stayed in bed with me until she 3, so now disrespect to ur policies, but they're BS). the nursing staff that i'm training under now makes push the standard guidelines and protect the staff and the hospital law suits of course but we haven't had one incidence since i've been with any parent in suite or at home smothering or forgetting baby. mostly facts some opinion, hope this stayed on topic.

jjus wanted to say congrats mummer (such a great parade) i recently moved to phila (am going to nursing school at tju for asn) and experienced the wonderment of mummers....study hard and do ur best and u will be great :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

have you ever heard of vertigo? i have a slight case of it myself, as for it happening only 3 to 4 times a year i'm not sure, but do some research on vertigo and speak with ur healthcare provider, they'll be able to help, hope u get better :balloons:
