I can't help you with hospitals--still a student--but I *love* living in Columbus (though not for much longer, I'm from Texas and will be moving back soon). It's a little bit smaller, quite a few little artsy/fun areas, and quite a bit to do. There a...
Who said a lot of them were gay? I have yet to run into another queer male in school. With all of the *real* issuses nursing is facing today, I'll just say that the poster is in for a rude awakening if he/she is spending time wondering if gay guys a...

I worked at wal-mart for a year and a half. 10/hour (not bad when you're nineteen in a small town in the middle of nowhere). Moved to Columbus at 20, worked at Kroger for a whopping three months. On top of my 6.25 an hour I was paying union dues out...
They poke fun at MEDICINE in general...hardly just male nurses. TURN OFF THE FRIGGIN' TV! As for me, I'll be a murse with a man purse when I graduate. Brian
Mattsmom81: I think it's society in general. I headed 1000 miles away right out of high school, it was great!! Them: You coming home for Xmas? Me: Do you have $400 for my plane tickets? Them: Well.... Me: That's what I thought. Come visit anytime. N...
The ones I really like live too far away so i only see them once a year at the family reunion. Get along with most of the locals, even though my relationship with my mother gets more strained as time goes along. I think I remind her too much of her ...
Fruits+veggies+whole grains+legumes+WAAAATTTERR+exercise. Works for me everytime. I don't get thirsty, and I look and feel great. Good luck, whatever you decide. Brian
Helpful but not necessary. But if you want to I say go for it, it'll be great experience for you. Also check out the student thread and go back, they've had several good threads on that topic. Sbic: I *love* that signature line. Brian
Still a student here, and I've had a mix of comments. SO's mother forbade her children from becoming nurses (she was an air force RN...vietnam vet). My own mother has been pushing it since I first mentioned it because "I know this LPN that makes almo...
I had a hell of a time--finally gave up when I accidentally found my current job. I'm not messing with it until I get close to actual nursing classes (I'll be unable to work my current shift). My current job is EASY and pays a ridiculous salary for w...
We had to have a bio, chem, cna course, and a class called "Patient Care Skills" done before we could apply...and that's for the class that starts in six months :). I failed a class and ended up waiting an extra two quarters!! Don't let it happen to ...
I'd go with long term care. It's hard work but it will make you stronger and will look great on your resume the next time you go shopping for a job. And you can always come back to the hospital after you graduate :). Brian
