   Thanks for all the tips. I'm sure I will use them all.

2. Night Shift

   newmale2nursing replied to newmale2nursing's topic in Male Students

   Thanks for the tips. I'm more worried about adapting between days on and days off. I'm sure it will all work out.

3. Night Shift

   newmale2nursing posted a topic in Male Students

   So, I am done with my leadership on 8/5, and am lucky enough to already have a job waiting for me in a cardiac unit (which is what I wanted). The only downside is that it's night shift 7-7. Anyone have any tips on adapting to the night shift life???...

4. Just finished OB rotation

   newmale2nursing posted a topic in Male Students

   I know the OB rotation can be a hot topic in the Male Nursing Student Forum. I just wanted to give my $.02 since just finished my rotation. First off, I think it must have a lot to do with the clinical instructor. I was lucky enough to have had m...

5. Starting Nursing 1 in 2 weeks and working full time

   newmale2nursing replied to KeithT66's topic in General Students

   KeithT66, There is no doubt it can be done! I finished my first semester of RN school in May. I worked full time, M-F 7:30 - 4:30, had class Tues and Wed from 5:00 - 8:00 PM and spent most of Saturday in clinicals. I ended up missing an A by less t...

6. health assessment question

   newmale2nursing replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Students

   We just covered Assessements in my lab last saturday. We did practice listening for heart and breath sounds on each other, but it was all over clothing. It seemed like the guys paired up with each other and the girls paired up with each other natur...

7. Any Male nurse from Florida

   newmale2nursing replied to brazuca's topic in Male Students

   I'm in my first semester of an ADN program in Tampa. There are about 8 guys in my class out of 33. The teacher said she has not seen so many guys in a single class before.

8. How long did it take you to get accepted?

   newmale2nursing replied to BP63's topic in Male Students

   I got into my program on my first try. It's an ADN program, but I already have a BS, so that may have helped. They said at the orientation that only aprox 1/3 of the applicants were accepted and they do not have a wait list, if you're not accepted ...

9. Are You Gel'n

   newmale2nursing replied to newmale2nursing's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks for the input. I just ordered some Brooks from Zappos. I have to have all white and all leather, so I'm limited for school, but I agree it is nice to be able to wear sneakers to work. I found a nice pair of Air's but they had too much colo...

10. Are You Gel'n

    newmale2nursing posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Ok, so I've notice the shoe topic has been popular lately. I'm starting my first semester in less than a week. I'll most likely get the all white Shox. I've found that for me personally, Nike is always the best fit and most comfortable. So the re...

11. what are the guys' reasons to become a nurse?

    newmale2nursing replied to joanaRN's topic in Male Students

    I started out doing Cardiac Rehab as an exercise physiologist for 3 years. It was a great warm and fuzzy kind of job. The kind of satisfaction you get from seeing the results of your work impact the patients over a 3 month rehab is huge. The prob...

12. 2 years Part-time for BA/full time in ICU enough for CRNA program requirments?

    newmale2nursing replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in CRNA

    I am certainly no expert in this, but I have also been looking into CRNA. I start an ADN program in January and already have a BS. I think you need a BS, not a BA. Depending on the programs, some require a BSN and some do not. I would check into...
