3. manly scrub top protocol...

   AVMadd posted a topic in Men

   So is there any. The scrub tops with the two pockets at the front hem seem way more practical, but is that style considered girlie? Do most guys wear scrub tops with the single breast pocket? Or am i just imagining things? Thoughts?? Thanks, aaron

4. HESI A2 enterance exam help please!!

   AVMadd replied to Rachelmm007's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The HESI study guide really is the best way to prepare for the test. Yes, it will cost you a few bucks, but in the long run, it's worth it. I used this book and scored a 97 overall on the HESI. Do yourself a favor. Bite the bullet and buy the book. h...

5. HESI Questions

   AVMadd replied to Miss_Dee's topic in HESI

   The test was a lot easier than i expected it to be. I scored a 97 overall. Like the person above posted, the math is pretty basic, mostly percentages, ratios, fractions, and very little pre-algebra. Although, make sure to brush up on measurement conv...

   Are there any ADN's in the S&W internship, or is it just BSN's?

8. Health Care Reform bill jeopardizing the future of nursing?

   AVMadd posted a topic in Activism

   Keep in mind that this question is coming from someone (me) who knows very little about the bill. But i keep hearing people say that this Health Care Reform bill (if passed) will destroy the careers of those working in the Health Care. Is this true? ...

9. Male in a female dominated field.. How bad is it really??

   AVMadd replied to AVMadd's topic in Men

   Thanks for that bit of advice... Not to worry though, i'm married :) Also, i'm glad to hear that doctors are watching their p's and q's a bit more with male nurses around. Although, I've no doubt, there're a few docs who could benefit from a good ole...

10. Male in a female dominated field.. How bad is it really??

    AVMadd posted a topic in Men

    So i read all of this stuff on this site about back-stabbing and catty behavior amongst nurses. Politics and all of the headaches that go along with it. And i realize that there's going to be some degree of politics and drama at any job, but i can't ...

11. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    AVMadd replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: This is quite possibly one of the most offensive posts i've ever seen. Tell me, do you honestly think that being a male nurse would place a guy in a higher risk bracket for pedophilia than a male coach or male doctor or male teacher?? When...

12. A&P 1 and Microbiology

    AVMadd replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah, unfortunately there will be those weeks where you'll get totally raped with exams in all your classes. All i can say is take'em one at a time. Don't stress, just map out your study time and do your best. When i have multiple exams in one week, ...

13. Mclennan Community College Info

    AVMadd replied to lilkimball05's topic in Texas

    I'm currently a pre-nursing student at MCC. I spoke with the assistant in the ADN office the other day and found out some interesting facts. First of all, MCC is no longer giving the NET for the entrance exam into the program. They have switched to t...

14. A&P 1 and Microbiology

    AVMadd replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am currently taking A&P1 and MicroBio. At my school, both of these classes are pretty demanding. There's not a whole lot of homework, but there's loads of info to memorize and the tests are certainly intense. I also have kids at home (3 of 'em)...

15. Possible relocation to Tyler, Texas...

    AVMadd replied to MissLouda's topic in Texas

    Tyler is a great place to live (at least in Texas anyway). It's a very pretty, medium sized city of about 100,000 pop., with plenty of stuff to do for fun. Tyler is a cleaner city when compared to most cities of it's size in Texas. I currently live i...
