    monkeyhq replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    monkeyhq replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I will respond, in part... a) due to the anonymous nature of this message board, and your desire for facts to back up some statements, I feel the only facts you would accept are those that unmask the...

  5. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    monkeyhq replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    monkeyhq replied to lobatse's topic in General Students

    monkeyhq replied to HelloWish's topic in General Students

    I have an old top loader W/D set in my garage--all scrubs, BF's work clothes, and shop towels go into these machines. The nice front loading set is in the house and they only see scrubs for the first...

  11. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    monkeyhq replied to HelloWish's topic in General Students

  15. 4.0 in nursing school?

    monkeyhq replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    Late to the conversation here, and I will admit I haven't read every response (on my phone so it's difficult). I am a neurotic over-achiever, and I finished school 2nd in my class of over 100. That...

  16. Is there time for extracurricular activities while in Nursing school?

    monkeyhq replied to arh77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a job? If you have to work and go to nursing school (full time, full schedule of classes), don't expect 10 hours a week of free time to devote to martial arts. I went to school full time,...

    monkeyhq replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    monkeyhq replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please try not to stress about this too much. We have had at least three people here on at least three different forums on AllNurses who were charged and PASSED. This trick is not accurate, so...

  22. Purposeless Ranting just to make myself feel better for a second.

    monkeyhq replied to CourtneyRN2014's topic in General Nursing

    monkeyhq replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
