  1. Surgical Nurse??

    I'm currently a student nurse in the OR learning how to scrub. The best way is to go ahead and do nursing, and while in nursing school, apply for externship in the OR. Check your local hospitals if they have such positions (teaching hospitals are t...
  2. WHY do we need more nurses

    I would have to disagree. Many men would still not do nursing. It's not a clean job like computers where u get to sit at a desk all day. So I disagree with you. There's enough drawbacks to nursing to keep people out, (ie cleaning ass). Plus ther...
  3. How Much Did you Make as a Student Nurse Tech??

    WOW, guess i should be happy with my 15 bux and hour SNT position, LOL. Just curious for all those SNT's that work on the med surg unit. How much ass wiping do you guys do?
  4. Should i become a CNA

    I say get another job until you at least are in nursing school where you can then get an extern position. As an extern, you can do more registered nursing stuff other then just basic care such as wiping ass, and making beds all day long. It's up to...
  5. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Bah what you got were peanuts in my opinion. What did you get? a 1-2 dollar raise to keep you quiet? You had a chance to make a significant change for women, particularly in nursing, but you chose to keep quiet after making a small mention of the in...
  6. Pasadena City College

    Hey there ! I went to PCC for my gen eds, but didn't get accepted into their program. Got accepted to State instead. My friend is doing her nursing at PCC and has shared to me that her instructors are unfair, and that the program is tough. Sorry I d...
  7. New Grad Straight To OR

    The problem isn't really the experience. It's whether or not the hospital wants to train you to work in the OR or not. OR nursing is very different from any other floor nursing, thus it costs a grip of money for the hospital to train you, since nur...
  8. racist comment

    It's not really a racist comment. It's more a combination of stereotypes, and misinformation. These people who bring up these topics are probably seeking out an answer to their frustration, and maybe they figure that since you are Hispanic in ethni...
  9. Im 42 year old male and just about to begin Nursing

    Get ready to spend 4-5 years on prerequisites and nursing classes. Oh, if you don't get high grades, get ready to be put on a lottery / waiting list that can take another year or two. I got denied by 6 city colleges. Good thing I had high grades and ...
  10. Just want to be a nurse =)

    What are the grades for your prerequisites? Have you tried applying to a BSN program? The failing grades for Bachelors are lower at this level, hence a better chance for the student to pass. The drawback is that of course is that you need a nice g...
  11. why cant I get hired?

    Try calling the employer and find out what the reason was. Sometimes they will tell you why you were not hired. I thought military people are considered first.
  12. Are you talking about getting into nursing school? I got 6 !! rejection letters from community colleges, most of which used lottery, and a few waiting lists. I got in the same year into a state Univ that utilized GPA only. (mine was 3.75), it was a...
  13. ADN or BSN

    I had the same problem. For me when it came down to it I was desperate to get into any program, even though I had a 3.75 pre nursing GPA. It's so impacted, many schools are resorting to using ATI as a nursing program predictor (which I think is a s...
  14. Writing Dean of Nursing.........

    I think the concern is patient safety (it's too bad the instructors couldn't voice their feelings better). If the instructors have to wear a device just so you can hear them properly, I am concerned about the safety of the patients who you will be c...
  15. Picking a progam

    I would bite the bullet and do 1yr of the 2hr drive thing and get it over with. RNs get significantly more than LPNs and plus you will have to go back to get your RN again, which is a total drag. If you study at school then drive back during non ru...
