2. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

   WanderRN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Students

   Yep, this. The leadership on my unit is 2/3 male. The unit staff is 20% male, including ancillary, 10% if you count just RNs.

3. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

   WanderRN replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I get what you are saying, having dealt with my fair share of BS. As conveyed, it feels like there is something off...about their relationship, his affinity for the CMAs opinion, her role. I don't understand why the person that makes the schedule w...

4. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

   WanderRN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

   While we do not have many male nurses on the floor (maybe 1:5 male to female ratio), I do see more male nurses that are unit managers, clinical resource and other leadership roles. I do not know what to attribute that to and it is strictly anecdotal...

5. Background Check Reveals Arrest. Application to Sit Boards Denied

   WanderRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I had a similar experience. I had an arrest but no charges were brought. The BON let me take the NCLEX but then came back and had me write the letters, get references and prove there were no charges ( a letter from the police department ). The pers...

8. If You are Paying for a CNA Course... aka The Post I Wish I'd Read a Month Ago.

   WanderRN replied to MadruGada's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm still stuck back in the first paragraph when you say you only need 4 classes to sit for the NCLEX. Aside from prereqs, our program was 2 each semester and 3 classes one semester. What classes are your four?

10. New Grad Qualification Question

    WanderRN replied to Dirzicus's topic in Job Hunt

    Where in VA? I just graduated a few weeks ago in Roanoke. It just means that you passed the classes and fulfilled the requirements of the program and are waiting on the ATT. At our local facility, you can work in a CNA role prior to receiving the ...

11. Expectations being a Nursing Student

    WanderRN replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Go in with a good attitude, a good work ethic and don't let yourself get bogged down in the politics and bs and you will do fine. It isn't that it is so hard, as it is not like any classes before. I had As going in and did not get straight As throu...

14. Do your teachers round up grades?

    WanderRN replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Pre-Nursing

    No, an 89.999 is still an 89. But 90 is a B anyway in our program.

15. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    WanderRN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Wow, with the exception of #6, this stuff won't fly in our program. We have one instructor that said at the beginning of the semester, if I see your phone, you must leave class, if you talk in class, you must leave and it counts as one of your allow...
