midwifetobe85, Are you still around? I'm really hoping for an update! Did you end up doing the Frontier program? If so, how is it? I'm graduating with my ADN in December and should hopefully have my BSN within the next year and a half or so. I love, ...

I need reassurance and/or advice please! I will graduate with my ADN in December. I recently found out I am 5 weeks pregnant and I'm terrified that no one will hire me just to train me and send me on maternity leave. This is my third baby so there wi...

Believe it or not, your opinion of me as a nurse and/or person means very little. I know who I am and I know what kind of of nurse I will be. I think about things differently than most people. I always have and probably always will. This is not the o...

Feel free to go back a few pages and satisfy your curiosity.

What's your point? That IS an accreditation... even if it's not one you particularly like. It's still approved by the BON. The classes are still taught by RNs. I still have to learn the material and pass the NCLEX. I will still have over 600 clinical...

I didn't create these diseases. Choosing not to vaccinate my children does not CAUSE naturally occurring diseases. Obviously it doesn't help prevent it, but it doesn't cause it either. I don't know what kind of nurse I will be. I will certainly do ...

Wow. What is frightening is that an RN would resort to personal attacks in any debate. Yes I do attend ITT. It is for profit, but it IS also accredited. Sometimes life throws things (like cheating husbands, divorce, and single parenthood) at you that...

Cute. (:

My child's status will be the cause of nothing... Disease exists... that's the reality of life on this planet. Of course I'm not comfortable with the death of someone's child, but it is IN NO WAY MY FAULT if a child contracts a disease. I am not will...

It does reduce the risk to some extent. There is risk either way... that's life. Not every doctor. The CDC? Yes.

No, no, and not really. There are other causes of joint pain... like vaccination... :) I never claimed it as evidence. I was asked about my vaccination status so I shared that information along with it because inevitably, had I not, you all would h...

I have zero respect for Paul Offit. If there was ever a conflict of interest... Paul and his rotavirus vaccine would be it...

I don't have time *right now* as I am a busy mother of two trying to get through school. I promise you I went through all the statistics when I made the decision several years ago. I don't remember the statistics for every disease and vaccine off the...

Sorry I'm not replying to everyone. I learned a long time ago that being the dissenter in a group such as this makes it impossible to keep up, even if I didn't have a million other things to do. So again, I am not here to debate the effectiveness or ...

I don't know how to do the fancy quotes of only pieces and parts of the post, so I'll just use my own quotation marks. :) "I assume that the research you've read is peer-reviewed and published in reputable scientific journals? What kind of books have...

That article was nothing but an appeal to fear and emotion. In either case, I did not post here to debate this. At this point, I am 100% comfortable with my decision. I do not deny the risks of some of these diseases, nor do I deny the science behind...

Fear and emotion once again. The fact that you feel it's for no good reason shows that you have knowledge of only one side of the debate.

I don't have time to read through all these comments, but this came across my email and thought I'd just give a quick reply, since your understanding of WHY I (and I suspect many others) choose not to vaccinate is a bit off. I'm a nursing student, by...

That's very helpful, thank you. I will look into assisted living for sure. I was somewhat aware of the stigma before I started at ITT, but I have two little ones and was in the middle of a divorce (as a stay-at-home mom) so I really couldn't wait aro...

Hello! I will be graduating in about a year and I'm just wondering about how much I can expect to earn as a new ADN in the Boise area. How much of a difference is it for working nights/weekends? What places should I be looking at for a first job? Tha...

I am in the Boise area and I am going through the ITT program. I eventually want to get into travel nursing, but I'm sure I will need some experience first so I want to find a good job here for a year or two. I am hoping I can find something that wil...
