6. Transitioning to night shift

   travis73 replied to kokoro's topic in New Nurse

   I've worked nights for most of the past 18 years, but not as a nurse. Or anything involving healthcare for that matter. Some people are oriented strictly to a daytime schedule. Some to a night time schedule. To some it just doesn't matter one bit. Wo...

   travis73 replied to shabbychic23's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think it's condescending at all. Whichever statement you didn't care for dosen't matter. They are still both true. Stress is the symptom of your reaction to a stimulus. It is completely internal. I'm not saying it's as easy as flipping a swit...

9. I still haven't found what I'm looking for

   travis73 replied to shabbychic23's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know anything about being a nurse (I've just started school to become one tho), but, if I may, I'd like to tell you these two things: 1. Stress is YOUR reaction to the world, it only exists if you allow it. 2. People will treat you however yo...

10. Why would anyone do the ARMY/NAVY CRNA program?

    travis73 replied to ThePrestige's topic in CRNA

    Is it easier to get into an armed service CRNA program? Also, for a younger person who's already in the military, Why Not? I don't think that CRNAs are common knowledge. I didn't know about them until I started school for nursing.

11. Money

    travis73 replied to travis73's topic in General Students

    Losing my job is the reason I'm switching to nursing. I definitely understand about being on a TIGHT budget. I buy generic whenever I can. Except for toilet paper, I don't scimp in that department. Haha! I've started shopping at Sam's Club (or Sam's ...

13. Anyone else ....OCCC?

    travis73 replied to okchug's topic in Oklahoma

    Math isn't really a big problem. I just haven't taken it (or really been in any classroon) for the last 18(?) years. I need to brush up. I can understand how it could be a waste of time taking zero level classes. But I can also see that taking them p...

14. New career, new hopes

    travis73 replied to travis73's topic in Oklahoma

    So, I get the impression that I'm not the only one who's "life plans" have recently taken an unexpected turn. Haha! Every time I've had a curveball thrown at me before things have (eventualy) turned out for the better. I choose to continue to expect ...

    travis73 replied to Buster70's topic in Oklahoma

    The news, paper and tv, keep running stories about the male population, in nursing, increasing. But I've also heard stories of people finishing school, getting the degree, getting a job, and then moving on to something else because the job wasn't wha...
