  2. Researching Native American.......

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No where in my posts did I say all tribes were alike, and no where did I say that medicine men did not exist. I also have family that live on and by an indian rez, they all go to the doctor. No...

  3. Researching Native American.......

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I read the links you provided. Let me tell you that we are in modern days, and most indians do not seek out shaman or medicine men to treat an illness. They go to the doc, just like everyone else....

  4. Researching Native American.......

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. Researching Native American.......

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Question about prereq grades

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to wink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Claudia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. How to raise kids...

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Little ones are carefree spirits. They are smart! They know what mom will let slide, and what makes mom's fuse blow. Spanking is not the answer. It doesn't do anything positive or good. It shows...
