  1. WWI / WW2 Nursing dress

    Parakeet posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OK. I know this is a topic that has probably been raised before, but I need an answer. I am a dresses and skirts only person. I have been looking for either a pattern or nurse dress that is in the...

  2. Nursing in Russia?

    Parakeet posted a topic in International Nursing

    I just wanted to know what nursing is like in Russia. Are the standards different from here in the U.S.? What is the scope of practice? I am interested in overseas nursing, and Russia is one of the...

  3. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I wanted to write this as an encouragement to other believers in the LORD Jesus Christ, that there are opportunities to give the Gospel in nursing. I am in my last semester of a nursing program. It is...

  4. Examples of times you have been bullied in nursing profession

    Parakeet replied to luvmyyorkie24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why is it always "older" nurses who are considered bullies? I'm starting to think that the question should be asked, "why do younger nurses eat the older, more experienced nurses?" When you think of...

  5. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    'twas a pt. who has asked me in the past - she deals with anxiety issues all the time - this day she asked me about it after I gave her meds and got her ready for a

  6. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just a clarification to my OP. I want to let you know that just because I am a Christian, does not mean that I think my classmates or any other nurse I work with are beneath me. I have met many...

  7. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Good food for thought; I'll chew on it. Actually, since you brought it up, I do wear skirts all the time, wear headcoverings, don't wear make up, would love a husband and family if my LORD sees fit!...

  8. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Like I said earlier, I am not spending all of my time proselytizing. However, if I see an opportunity to speak, I will do so. I had a pt. just this past week ask me how to pray, so in answer to her...

  9. Life, death, and dying.

    Parakeet replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Though this will be controversial, I have to say it; it is merely answering the end of the OP's post. According to the Bible, every man has a soul. Also there is an afterlife - either heaven or hell....

  10. What class in nursing school do they teach you surgical procedures?

    Parakeet replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Students

    I guess that I somewhat echo the OP's question; I thought in RN programs they still had a surgical rotation. What I mean is that nurses used to assist in the OR with cleaning, handing tools and such....

  11. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Parakeet replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, in my experience, it may be more of a learning style than anything else. I used to be an A student, since I've been in nursing, I have been a B/C student. On the other hand, my clinical...

  12. Differences in US nursing vs the rest of the world

    Parakeet replied to irishicugal's topic in General Nursing

    Well! I wish I could have done nursing in a program like you describe! For me, it is so hard to comprehend the theory side, which seems to be the emphasis in the US. I learn best by hands on during...

  13. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Frankly, none of these responses offend me! You can choose to be offended; I am not judging anyone on this forum, I am just putting out an encouragement for other Christians to be bold about their...

  14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    If vaccines are not 100% effective, what is the use of getting them? 'Cause then you have to get a booster, then another booster when they run out. I just don't get the logic: You shouldn't not...

  15. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, I have not actually seen this film, I am just posting about vaccines in general. Don't you think that someone who actually dares to question the status quo and do "unpopular" research might...

  16. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Rocknurse about freedom of choice related to vaccines. I don't understand why pro-vaccers are so militant - I have heard people say that anti vaccers should be sterilised, their...

  17. Nurse Bullying

    Parakeet replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    believeallispossible, I don't think the examples you brought up from nursing school are valid examples of bullying. Guess what, I think it is called life. Anyone who has gone through nursing school...

  18. [Mini RANT] Crappy Vocational Rehab Counselor Refuses to Approve of me being in Nursing

    Parakeet replied to Natiel's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Just as an encouragement, some instructors may be willing to work with you. I have eyesight issues, so seeing PERRLA, skin changes can be difficult, as well as hearing issues with heart and lung...

  19. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    Parakeet replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Interesting discussion. I got my CNA before I started nursing school and found out that they are worlds apart. I think it is truly a matter of people not knowing what earning the title of "Nurse"...

  20. Dress Codes for School

    Parakeet replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    In reference to the post above, "Which God" (I don't know how to quote). I mean the one and only God, the LORD of the Bible. But I can understand why you wouldn't want to discuss that right now! I...

  21. Dress Codes for School

    Parakeet replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I read an interesting factoid the other day: that uniforms would save some money as well. It probably costs money to try to keep up with the fashion trends. The reason why we have even young kids...

  22. Dress Codes for School

    Parakeet replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I definitely think it is right for both boys and girls to be modest. My and my sisters dress modestly, and so do my brothers. We are careful in how we dress, and my brothers will "bounce" their eyes...

  23. Cute Tiny Blonde Girl

    Parakeet replied to RachealAnne's topic in Correctional

    I would finish nursing school first. Believe me, your desired specialty might change once you are done. I tried to get into correctional nursing for my leadership, but was told that I was too small,...

  24. Jacob Rockstar-RN Psych Nurse Action Figure

    Parakeet replied to Davey Do's topic in Psychiatric

    Can a nursing student have a therapeutic intervention as well? I am starting psych rotations next semester. I am afraid it won't fly with me. What advice would you give?

  25. 5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    Parakeet replied to anh06005's topic in Nursing News

    I beg to differ with some of the comments given. Though not many children today know what death is, some do. I have know little ones who are wise beyond their years. My little brother knows about...
