    I'm learning about Nursing Programs right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what does a nursing program offer and is it good? According to Murray-Schmidt, the students are enrolled in an accelerated nursing program, meaning that students who successfully complete four consecutive semesters of study will receive a two-year degree in 18 months. The course work is considered very vigorous and demands unwavering dedication and commitment from the students; clinical courses that are covered over six and 10 weeks during the regular school year are consolidated into four weeks during the summer months. "This group of students entered into the program in January of this year and will graduate with associate's degrees in May 2010. They will be eligible to take the registered nurse licensing exam at that time. Western currently holds a 91 percent examination pass rate. This ranking places them among those that are third from the top of 16 in the Wisconsin Technical College System and fifth from the top in the state of Wisconsin, inclusive of all two- and four-year nursing programs. This figure is based on April, May, and June exam candidates, and it is predicted to rise higher in the next quarter". This quote I chose is basically saying that a nursing programs is good in many ways. A nursing program helps you a start the career that you want. Starting from what you know to what you don't know.

  • Coffee contains caffeine, which acts as a stimulant. For this reason, it is often consumed in the morning and when feeling tired. Students preparing for examinations with late-night cram sessions or code jams frequently use coffee to stay awake.

  • A study comparing heavy coffee drinkers (3.5 cups a day) with non-drinkers found that the coffee drinkers were significantly less likely to contract Parkinson's Disease later in life. [7]. Likewise, a second study found an inverse relationship between the amount of coffee regularly drunk and the likelihood of developing Parkinson's Disease

      Accrordind to this it state that coffee is a drink that many people drink but what as a result it gives you a disease. I strongly feel that children should not be drinking coffee becuase that is what manily affectx them with their brain.
  • Coffee consumption is also correlated to a reduced risk of oral, esophageal, and pharyngeal cancer.[17][18] In ovarian cancer, no benefit was found.[19] In the Nurses Health Study, a modest reduction in breast cancer was observed in postmenopausal women only, which was not confirmed in decaffeinated coffee.[20] According to one research, coffee protects from liver cancer.[21]

      As it says here, that coffee can not only be bad for children. But also for adults because it gives cancer to your body. Cancer to women and men. That's why I think that coffee should not be drank every morning only sometimes.

  • Blood pressure Caffeine has previously been implicated in increasing the risk of high blood pressure; however, recent studies have not confirmed any association. In a 12-year study of 155,000 female nurses, large amounts of coffee did not induce a "risky rise in blood pressure".

  • Effects on pregnancy A February 2003 Danish study of 18,478 women linked heavy coffee consumption during pregnancy to significantly increased risk of stillbirths (but no significantly increased risk of infant death in the first year). "The results seem to indicate a threshold effect around four to seven cups per day," the study reported. Those who drank eight or more cups a day (64 U.S. fl oz or 1.89 L) were at 220% increased risk compared with nondrinkers. This study has not yet been repeated, but has caused some doctors to caution against excessive coffee consumption during pregnanc

      This is so true due to the fact that many people think that coffee won'y affect women who are pregnant. But they are wrong cause it actually effects the baby from stillbirths.
  • The study concluded that consumption of coffee is associated with significant elevations in biochemical markers of inflammation. This is a detrimental effect of coffee on the cardiovascular system, which may explain why coffee has so far only been shown to help the heart at levels of four cups (24 fl oz or 600 mL) or fewer per day.[42]

  • Coffee intake may reduce one's risk of diabetes mellitus type 2 by up to half. While this was originally noticed in patients who consumed high amounts (7 cups a day), the relationship was later shown to be linear.[13][14]
  • Coffee can also reduce the incidence of cirrhosis of the liver[15] and has been linked to a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, a primary liver cancer that usually arises in patients with preexisting cirrhosis.
  • However, coffee can also cause excessively loose bowel movements.
  • Coffee contains the anticancer compound methylpyridinium. This compound is not present in significant amounts in other food materials.
  • Coffee consumption decreased risk of gout in men over age 40. In a large study of over 45,000 men over a 12-year period, the risk for developing gout in men over 40 was inversely proportional with the amount of coffee consumed.[32]
  • Over 1,000 chemicals have been reported in roasted coffee, and 19 are known rodent carcinogens;[33] however, most substances cited as rodent carcinogens occur naturally and should not be assumed to be carcinogenic in humans at exposure levels typically experienced in day-to-day life.
  • A 2007 study by the Baylor College of Medicine indicates that the diterpene molecules cafestol and kahweol, found only in coffee beans, putatively raise levels of low-density lipoprotein or LDL in humans.[36] This increase in LDL levels is an indicator that coffee raises cholesterol. The Baylor study serves to link cafestol and kahweol with higher levels of cholesterol in the body.
  • A Harvard study conducted over the course of 20 years of 128,000 people published in 2006 concluded that there was no evidence to support the claim that coffee consumption itself increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
