    You will all probably hate me for this

    Lulu Belle posted a topic in General Nursing

    ...But I just have to say: So many of you are amazing people and nurses. The time you put in responding to posts on Allnurses really does make a difference. BUT. When people come here asking for...

    Did you receive a politically biased education?

    Lulu Belle replied to Guest910128's topic in General Students

    I am not yet a nursing student, but I've noticed the same bias in many of the classes I'm taking for a BS in biology. Not to the extent you describe, but it's there. Just today in my animal behavior...

    Nursing to med school experiences?

    Lulu Belle replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Why don't you go pre med and then apply to an ABSN program or two in addition med school? That way you still have a bit of a safety net? I'm actually in a 5 year dual degree program (traditional 2...

    Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    Lulu Belle replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why these posts cause so much uproar. This one's tame, but generally speaking, I just don't understand the thinking that it's ridiculous for someone more interested in medicine to...

    now that it was mentioned..

    Lulu Belle replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When it's 21:00, and the only residents who aren't in bed are sitting with me at the nurse's station having an impromptu ice cream party, I'm really glad I'm not the nurse. I am on my way to nursing...

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Lulu Belle replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    No, no I getcha. I really do. It was more of a response to the direction the thread has taken than to your original post. In fact, I should have quoted a specific comment when
