   JY10 replied to BWCA-RN's topic in Male Students

   Congrats on the baby, the best quote i have heard about being a new parent: "Having a baby is like getting into a fight, you can have a plan but once it happens you just do whatever it takes to survive." I always thought this was funny and very tr...

2. Welp, was discriminated against; ps I didn't like it

   JY10 replied to PeaceKeepr's topic in Male Students

   I do not like OB/post pard either and it was pretty uncomfortable being a 25 y/o nursing student and doing my clinical rotation in OB, so I too am a little biased. But my take is that as a CNA you would most likely be doing post delivery care i assu...

3. A man in a seemingly female driven career

   JY10 replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Students

   It seems the male to female ratio is about 1:3 in ICU and ER, all the other dude nurses i know including myself work in those 2 fields not sure why. I almost never saw a male nurse working the floor when i ran EMS and in my clincals as a student it a...

5. Anatomy & Physiology standing in my way!!!

   JY10 replied to 4pancakes's topic in Online Learning

   I studied the same way for this exam as I did for all the others I have taken so far and I got an A. I would say you should do whatever you think is best but if you passed all the nursing exams you have a good general knowledge of A&P already. ...

   JY10 replied to swater's topic in Online Learning

   Oh do u think that my post was saying to much as far as the test goes? I took the honesty policy to mean that you wouldnt give out test questions or get real specific. I def do not need any trouble as far as violating that rule. The only book mor...

8. Excelsior A& P

   JY10 replied to swater's topic in Online Learning

   I studied about 5wks just one chap at a time and made note cards, I used the TCN book as i have for all of my test and they have worked well for me. I thought it seemed to be more about how the systems worked together or were affected by hormone leve...

9. Excelsior Anatomy & PHysiology

   JY10 replied to amyjo9972's topic in Online Learning

   I used TCNs book and the free content guide from Excel. They dont match up as far as the chapters but it tells you what percentages of each area will be on the exam. I studied for about 3 or 4 weeks I just read the book and made note cards and I go...

    JY10 replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7p-7a and my wife works 8-5 and we have a 1 yr old daughter, my schedule is very flexible so that helps and I usually work 3 12s one week and then 3 12s plus an 8hr shift the next. We both enjoy it but my wife is not needy, before we had Ree...
