   AcousticFoodie posted a topic in Student Assist

   I thought my Littman was broken until I decided to wear it backwards (with the ear pieces facing back instead of forward). The acoustics got better instantly. Is anyone here the same way? I have heard a lot of stories on this forum where people lose ...

   AcousticFoodie replied to Ram1802h's topic in Male Students

   I understand what you guys are saying about the nursing shortage coming to fruition as the baby boomers get older...but where will the money come from to create these needed jobs? This kinda sounds similar to our social security situation in the futu...

3. Do doctors really yell at you, and get away with it?

   AcousticFoodie replied to copyandpaste's topic in General Nursing

   So with all these stories in this thread about nurses taking crap from docs...do these nurses just not stand up to the doctor? And by standing up I don't mean yell back of course, but just letting the doc know that their behavior is inexcusable and n...

4. Do physician attitudes online against NPs reflect real life?

   AcousticFoodie posted a topic in NP

   Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of media focusing on hatred of NPs? Here's a really recent one: Nurses Masquerading as Doctors FOXNews.com People can believe what they want to believe, but cycling through the comments of that story (a...

   AcousticFoodie replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Student Assist

   Wow thanks for all the feedback guys. When I first posted this question I was posting because I got a C- on my first pharmacology math test (I did get an A on the theory part tho). I had done something really stupid by forgetting to put my answers w...

8. This is getting ridiculous!

   AcousticFoodie replied to dollface6's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's what I did during applications for the local universities around my area. I didn't go through the same trouble as you, but it seems (from the threads here), that all nursing programs lose paper work. Always hand deliver!

    AcousticFoodie replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Put yourself on an eating schedule. I eat every 3 to 4 hours in the day and that's helped me lose 36 lbs! Additionally, every time you are offered food you can just say that its not your eating time yet.

13. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    AcousticFoodie replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Students

    Hey thanks Romano! I know 25 is still young (although technically it is the year when our testosterone production reaches its peak I think)! I just wanna be a seasoned veteran by the time I'm in my mid 30s!
