  1. How much does CNRA school teach about pain management?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to Josh L.Ac.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    OMG LOL U R SO FUNNY! Yeah, after studying for about eight hours on a Sunday day / evening, I happened to make a typo a few times on an online message board. I would rather make alphabet soup typing...

  2. President flip flops on non destructive stem cell research.

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    it is much easier to tackle if you are using some sort of religious dogma to say if a blastocyst has a soul or not... i used to love the probability viewpoint on what makes a human a person, but can...

  3. President flip flops on non destructive stem cell research.

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well there's the rub. As I learned it in medical ethics, the requirements for positive gain need to be much higher if a parent is giving proxy consent for their offspring. If the blastocyst is...

  4. President flip flops on non destructive stem cell research.

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The difference is informed consent. Or at least I think that is the proper rebuttal. I need to get back to

  5. President flip flops on non destructive stem cell research.

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We'll get a good candidate once we quit pandering to public-opinion polls and actually field a liberal for a change. Much of the typical democractic platform disgusts me, but not nearly as much as the...

  6. President flip flops on non destructive stem cell research.

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually, his objections do follow a rational, linear format. Any use of fertilized cells would be viewed as using a human as part of research and thus immoral. But if you don't subscribe to his...

  7. NP education - a rant

    Josh L.Ac. replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We actually covered a topic in the developmental psych class (that I was forced to take as a pre-req [actually was a great class] for my accelerated BSN) that can partially explain the discord on this...

  8. How much does CNRA school teach about pain management?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to Josh L.Ac.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Bump.

  9. What medical shows do you watch?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to shellsgogreen's topic in General Students

    My fiance and I used to watch Grey's Anatomy, but we both got annoyed with the show rather quickly. I thought it got way too afternoon-soap-opera, and she was annoyed at another stereotypical...

  10. Pathophysiology

    Josh L.Ac. replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    If you are taking the summer pathophysiology / web-enhanced version at research, I could sale you my notes! J/K. One of the instructors did offer to buy them from me though. The patho class at...

  11. Bodybuilding nurse! 86 year old inspiration! Pics!

    Josh L.Ac. replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow. Thanks for the motivating

  12. Biomedical Ethics discussion about Stem Cell Research

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I read an article by a Episcopal priest that put forth an argument that I have heard many make - since the blastocysts are going to be destroyed anyway, why not try to get some good out of it. I find...

  13. What medical shows do you watch?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to shellsgogreen's topic in General Students

    I only allow myself to watch three TV series at one time [on DVD - we don't have cable], and two of them are medically oriented: Scrubs - it is actually scary how similar the humor on the show...

  14. CPR Class info needed

    Josh L.Ac. replied to clover1602's topic in General Students

    Most upper body exercises can be done seated, meaning you can have your entire leg in a cast and still workout. The exercises are more strict since you can't swing your body to cheat, so you'll have...

  15. Biomedical Ethics discussion about Stem Cell Research

    Josh L.Ac. replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow, that's a long clip. I'm going to put it on my PDA and listen to it on the way to school. I would say that, before listening to the clip, that I am opposed to embryonic stem cell research for the...

  16. Body For Life

    Josh L.Ac. replied to kellyo's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The most important aspect of an exercise program is consistency. This means that it is better to exercise whenever you have time as opposed to missing workouts (or not starting the program at all)...

  17. NP specialty/women's health, natural medicine nutrition?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to golden-hair's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A dowsing rod? Wow. I think the worst I heard about the ND program at Bastyr was people doing interperative dances about crystals or something like that. You point about the debt is should be so...

  18. NP specialty/women's health, natural medicine nutrition?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to golden-hair's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And the main criticism of the ND programs is the lack of clinical training. I think on average they see 400-500 patients to graduate, and the chances of getting one of the few residency slots is...

  19. Are You Man Enough to Be a Nurse?

    Josh L.Ac. replied to Raymond CA's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow, even if it was finals weeks, I don't think I would be able to just ignore the comment. Note to self: wear a nice dress shirt for all of my future

  20. Any guys from Missouri "kansas city"

    Josh L.Ac. replied to kcmo06's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm starting the accelerated [2nd Bachelor's] BSN program at Research and I am already impressed with the program. I won't know for sure until I enter clinic, but so far it seems like a good program....

  21. Breastfeed or else

    Josh L.Ac. replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    If that was the conclusion that you came to about my comments, then that is your mistake in perception and feel no guilt over it. I mentioned the possible errors in my line of thinking to see if...

  22. Breastfeed or else

    Josh L.Ac. replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    The notion that a person has to have experienced the situation to comment on it is absolutely absurd, plus it would limit our abilities to interact with people from different "groups". We are talking...

  23. Breastfeed or else

    Josh L.Ac. replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    It's not my kid. Her child is with her new husband that has much more in common with her, including religion and world outlook. In addition, my fiance and I are much better off, and our son is a...

  24. Breastfeed or else

    Josh L.Ac. replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I was pointing out there is obviously a rebuttal to my logic and that each case has to evaluated individually. That was the point of my rambling post and to also show how each situation is different....

  25. Breastfeed or else

    Josh L.Ac. replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Because I'm not a woman, I can't see the logical behind an action? Did I say that all women that don't breastfeed do so because of inconvenience? Actually I tried to make the point that we have to...
