A 46-year-old member asked:
When you go to a nursing home and everyone in a chair is in the lobby near the nurses, is that ok?

Not great: If they are there for a short time, ok. If it is all day, they are missing individual and group activities and the lack of such activities can actually cause and not prevent agitated behaviors.

See below: You would need a permission from the director of nursing to allow a private nurse to care of your mom. You would have to pay privately on your behalf.

A 19-year-old female asked:
I'm thinking of becoming a nurse I'm taking my prerequisites right now but I don't like biology. Are my nursing classes going to mainly biology?

Core classes: For your nursing requirements you will need your course in biology. But after that you are ok. If you have trouble get a tutor to help you. Biology is really straight forward and most interesting. Just get yourself through and you will be ok. Mostly just memorizing
