About joe_mulligan88

I'm 26 (1988). I have a Tibetan Terrier named Chip. I enjoy soccer, disc golf, and I started my Accelerated Free Fall license (AFF skydiving). I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. When I was in high school I traveled to New Zealand and Australia as a student Ambassador. I want to travel the world as I pursue my nursing career as an expat.

  1. NICU vs MedSurg

    As a new Grad myself and in a similar predicament, go with ICU. I had a choice med/surg or cvicu and I was thinking the same everyone says you need med/surg but like many pointed out you can always go back if you dont like it. ICU is awesome and if...

  3. Have you noticed...

    Just seems when you say your going to advance your degree they look at you like oh another kid who thinks he's a hot shot. I'm not only confident, but competent. And again Im not saying I know it all. Sorry I want to get comfortable before I have a f...
  4. Have you noticed...

    On this forum, it seems like most are quickly to judge. Look at my previous post and right away someone was like, you must pay your dues etc... I'm just saying there is some generalizations made. I didn't mean to start a whole thread on this. My r...

    Sweeney, Nicki thank you both for your opinion and non-bias attitude towards my limited exp. I was on a CVICU for my preceptor and managed well, my pts and their families enjoyed my help. Not to say I didn't have a preceptor with me, but I brought u...
  6. Have you noticed...

    There are a lot of nurses that get up in the morning and drink a large (sometimes in Merica, a XL) cup of hater-aid?? I'm a very easy going guy, never expect anything anyone. But it sure does solidify an article I read that nurses eat their young an...

  9. Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    my instructor wanted all of us to see one of each vag/c-sec and she kept sending us over as she could after that. At one point I'd rather do the new born assessments vs delivery/surgery.
  10. Wayne state University or Oakland University Nursing School?!

    I wouldn't say you'll get a bad edu from either. Wayne will give you an experience in Detroit hospitals for clinicals. I enjoyed OU, I did my PEDs clinical @ children's and was exposed to so much I just wish all my clinicals were there. (Level 1 ho...
