   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...

   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...

   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...

   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...

   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...

   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...

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

   DGabe24 replied to lonestar9918's topic in Men in Nursing

   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...

   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...

    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,...

    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...

    DGabe24 replied to kenmartins's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

13. CRNA Autonomy

    DGabe24 replied to Cardiomegaly's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    DGabe24 replied to missnurse01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

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...
