Red Kryptonite

Because it's basically unskilled labor. That never pays well.

You've been accepted into four programs? Uh, yeah, checking out of this thread before I say something that will get me banned.

The fact that this human rights atrocity is still imposed on newborns in 2015 is a stain on health care in this country. Worldwide we're largely regarded as barbarians for doing this to our babies. http://Http://www.Childrightsnurses.org http://Http...

I really think maybe abuse victims should refrain from responding to some threads, because the level of unfair assumption going on here is off the charts. We all have topics we're better staying away from, KWIM?

No one has ever thought it was unvaccinated children's fault. It's their bone head parents' faults.

Disagreeing with you does not make me uneducated. Now who's judgemental?

Eek. That's really creepy.

Oh my....I may or may not have watched several episodes of a Baby Story while acting like that..... When I was trying really hard to have a VBAC I had to stop watching that show. It was sucking my will to live.

This. I have no problem with supporting those who can't take care of themselves. The able-bodied and perfectly capable? Not so much. No one else pays my family's food bill while I'm in school.... I don't have a choice but to work full time.

I enjoyed reading it, but ended up not sure how I felt about it at the end.

I believe Midwives was written by Chris Bohjalian. I might have spelled the last name wrong. That's the one that takes place in Vermont, right? Court case, etc? If you've never read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant I highly recommend it.

What the...? If milk is coating your lungs you have more problems than a bleach-dunking.

If you're referring to my post above, I was talking about the ABSN program at Arizona State University. You must have a previous bachelor's degree, which I do, so I checked into whether I could apply for that program if I were already a LPN. It's n...

I've only ever been an employee on the bottom rungs so far, so I have no experience with being anyone's boss to offer. However, I can tell you about the fact that my parents NEVER apologized to me even when they were obviously and blatantly wrong, mi...

So....have you applied to any other programs?

Whoo boy, remind me not to piss you off! You are hard core! Love it.

TIA = thanks in advance STNA is another term for CNAs, I believe, specific to a couple states but used nowhere else.

You'd have to be literally the most insecure person ever to walk the earth to care that much about the opinions of a bunch of random internet strangers.

I believe the term you're seeking is "cranio-rectal inversion."

I've always considered it rude for a nurse to interrupt my care of one patient to direct me to do something for another (outside of emergencies obviously). Right now, the patient for whom I am caring deserves to be my focus and not to be made to fee...

What the hell is this?! I saw nothing in the post to which you responded that justifies this.

Cognitive disconnect?

I live in Phoenix Metro and Arizona State has an ABSN program for those with a previous bachelor's degree. I'm currently enrolled in a LPN program and asked if I could enroll in that ABSN program if I'm already a LPN. The answer is YES! As long as...

Ooooh, you win the vocabulary award today! However, I don't know if it's possible to "stock up" abstemiously. PS love your new avatar photo. I'm old enough to remember Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP.

Oh dear Lord, and she's supposed to be a medical doctor in that show. PS I remember that episode of SVU. Don't be hating on Elliot Stabler. I have a passionate love affair with that man.
