  1. CLEVELAND or COLUMBUS- Help!

    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...
  2. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    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...
  3. Trying to pick a city:Houston, Dallas, or Austin?

    AUSTIN!!!!!! -B-
  4. 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...
  5. LPN's are Nurses Too? Aren't they?

    You'll have that no matter what in nursing...do what *you* want to do and don't look back :) Brian
  6. 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
  7. STNA? Anyone?

    Here in Ohio it's STNA...my friend in Indy is a CNA...exact same thing :). Brian
  8. 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...
  9. 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 ...
  10. Atkins Diet

    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
  11. Worth getting PCA or CNA before RN????

    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
  12. 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...
  13. hospitals not hiring students?

    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...
  14. any POSITIVE comments????

    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 ...
  15. I have gotten myself into a job that I

    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
