    The film: Vaxxed.

    Extra Pickles replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Untrue, the underlined part. Every study has to look at both vaccinated and unvaccinated children in order to be a valid study. Not just vaccinated children, because that would be worthless...

    "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Extra Pickles replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    This whole thing doesn't make any sense at all, what would be the reason that a student who does well in academics doesn't do well in clinicals or doesn't do well once licensed? I think if anyone is...

    Boldness to Speak

    Extra Pickles replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    oh my goodness I'm not even sure where to start! You can't say you are respectful of other people's religions if your idea of respecting them is to force religious tracts, meaning your religion's...

    Are you receiving any compensation for constantly repeating the name of the book and the author over and over again? because it sure looks that way to me. Otherwise wouldn't you just say Read the book...

    Extra Pickles replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't that people aren't brave enough to see this movie, it's that they are bright enough to know that it is garbage. I haven't seen even one person here say they are afraid to see the movie, so...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Extra Pickles replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    oh, ok, gotcha. I never heard of Grand Canyon College so I did some reading online and found that Grand Canyon University is a small Christian school that had been non-profit up until some years ago...

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

    Extra Pickles replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Students

    what Jensmom said, you won't be doing anything remotely hands on for surgical anything!! might be confusing nursing school with medical school. If you're lucky you will get to see something surgical...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Extra Pickles replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    but then students should be in schools that know this same information and should be educating their students accordingly shouldn't they? it's not really accurate either to say that the test is harder...

    Need some advice!

    Extra Pickles replied to Rickyv562's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't heard of this school so I did some quick checking online and it looks to me like you are choosing a very expensive school with a very low NCLEX passing rate. Why would you do

    Eligibility expiring.

    Extra Pickles replied to Gyanshieldsdad's topic in General Nursing

    i think the question you need to be asking is not which states allow you to take the exam years after you finish school but instead where should you take a refresher course! if you aren't going to...

    My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Extra Pickles replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Why does your husband drive you to work appointments? You don't drive? I read your post and thought it was a little controlling on your husbands part but I didn't say anything because maybe it's too...

    Extra Pickles replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    you talk about diseases as though it's better to get the disease than the vaccination against the disease. That's nonsense. You talk about autism as though the risk of that is far worse than anything...

    I had to reread this because I thought you were saying that anti-vaxxers provide a lot of anecdotal stories, not strictly research statistics and this I totally agree with! I don't think Mother Jones...

    What is the difference between a CRNA and a medical anaesthetist

    Extra Pickles replied to vandiola's topic in General Nursing

    a CRNA is an RN with advanced education in anesthesiology. An anesthesiologist is an MD. There's a big difference right there. Maybe it's different in different states, but where I am the CRNA must...
