1. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   Ah Higgs Boson, amazing stuff! Another particle is the Kaion (not sure if you're interested in particle physics), a fun read if you get a sec. I agree though, at the end of the day nursing is a "safe" investment to me, and I've always believed in ta...

2. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   Well thank you for sugar coating your opinion, as it really doesnt do me any favors. While it's a bit frustrating to read, I think you are spot on. I was just too immature and unfocused during undergrad and I'm paying the price now. I've developed in...

3. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   My one friend is in ICU in a major hospital in NJ, and another over in neonatal ICU in Pennsylvania. They both said knowing me, how I would present myself in an interview, and being a male nurse with good grades and healthcare experience I will basic...

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   Perhaps not scientifically stimulating, and just like any other job, I'm sure MDs have their inevitably monotonous days as well. The sheer intellectual challenge can be definitely far beyond the call of most other jobs though. I understand your poin...

5. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you NurseVisionary, I have definitely considered this, as I realize the institute that awards you your BSN seems to matter very little. Drexel does offer some benefits that I consider to be of significant value. It is 11 months (yes, rigorous, ...

   Wow! I would first like to take a moment to thank all of you for your wonderful contributions, and it makes me feel great that there are others in here who are able to benefit from the questions as well. I thought about quoting everyone individually,...

7. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, it's that big tent that makes me think I will find a position that I am very content with. By asking questions and thinking outside the box, I was referring to the research definition of it. As in, the theoretical questions you ask that lead to ...

8. "You should be a CRNA.....you are a man"

   DGabe24 replied to lonestar9918's topic in Men

   I work in an andrology lab as a tech (probably going to the ACE at Drexel in the spring)...and I get that from the MDs after we chat a bit, "Why didnt you go to med school Dave?" Blah blah, dont get me wrong, I have no intentions of being bedside my...

9. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah that is sound advice, and I appreciate you taking the time. I do agree that the more I'm willing to dedicate myself to the science behind what nurses do will only lend itself to making me a better nurse. I am just hesitant that perhaps down the...

10. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

    DGabe24 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

    The insurance battles, the churn and burn mentality....the healthcare provided in the US at this point in time does no appeal to me to be honest. It's lost its MD/patient intimacy, we over medicate, etc. Unfortunately, this question is often asked by...

11. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

    DGabe24 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, So after scouring the internet and as much of AN forums as I possibly could, to no avail, I've come to you all with a question. I currently have my BS in Biology and work in an andrology lab at a major reproductive medicine. I've been ...

12. Our lady of Lourdes anesthesia program

    DGabe24 replied to kenmartins's topic in SRNA

    Lourdes is double the price of UMDNJ, I wonder why NJ residents consider going there? Thoughts?

13. CRNA Autonomy

    DGabe24 replied to Cardiomegaly's topic in SRNA

    This is exactly why a CRNA calls an MDA when **** hits the fan. They have a much more understanding systemically due to their years of training. CRNAs know anesthesia as well one would argue, however that's about it.

14. Gone off the deep end...reading texts for fun now!

    DGabe24 replied to missnurse01's topic in SRNA

    You're definitely not alone....it seems like everyone and their mother wants to be a CRNA these days.

15. What do you like about being a research nurse?

    DGabe24 replied to AwayWeGo's topic in Research

    I have my BS in Biology, and will be going for my BSN (accelerated this Fall)...I'm just curious how hands on nurses are during the research. Also, is it out of the realm of possibility that an RN will go on to get a PhD and actually conduct the rese...
