   I have been accepted fort January part time with the bio bridge course. I'm not 100 percent sure I am accepting, but it seems more than likely that I will accept. I have been in constant contact with the admissions team and attended the webinars (whi...

4. military service male nurse

   AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to PinBall's topic in Male Students

   You're most welcome. So everything should be good to go for you regarding tattoos. Post-911 is going to be a great asset to you then, only downside is that it is only 36 months. If you are over 30% disabled then you would receive Chapter 31 which pay...

5. military service male nurse

   AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to PinBall's topic in Male Students

   Look into the MSEP program, I have a few guys and gals that are doing that right now. You get paid while you are going to college while on active duty, but the downside is that it is HIGHLY competitive and is only done once a year. All in all a great...

6. male nurses with beards

   AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to nrsman1's topic in Men

   I never thought of the beard and goatee situation in the ways you guys have described. It makes sense especially the groomed to fit the N95 mask; it reminds me of the military. Great info and its great to know I can keep my goatee :)

8. Help, second day of pre-nursing school and a lady in my class keeps bugging me

   AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Students

   Yea she definitely seems a bit clingy, but I would advise against a relationship. Due to the fact that what if things go bad? Then you are stuck with her for at least 2 years. Moral of the story: It can get weird.

10. Advantages to being a male nurse

    AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to ItsTheDude's topic in Male Students

    I agree with Ackeem this is a great thread, very informative for me as a male, on what to expect. I still do worry about the job prospects right now sometimes.

11. wide variety of possibilities in nursing makes me unsure

    AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to hershdawg's topic in Male Students

    The good thing, I feel, about this profession is the actual exposure you get to the various wards during Nursing school. So I'm still like you a bit overwhelmed with the different fields in nursing. I feel that we will know when we get into clinicals...

13. New Male Nursing Student. Any Pointers?

    AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to AudiGuy, RN, BSN's topic in Male Students

    Wow that's great, I'll definitely look into those books, I have a year and a half before I have to take the nclex, but getting an early start is not a bad idea. I was also curious about the nclex itself, specifically the multiple multiple questions a...

14. Ugh i hate testssss - help

    AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to stefonee356's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Fundamental math skills are paramount to any subfield of the medical world. With that said I had issues with math as well, the thing that I had to do was to take pre-100 level math prep courses at a community college, and it helped me tremendously. T...

    AudiGuy, RN, BSN replied to AudiGuy, RN, BSN's topic in Male Students

    Thanks for the pointers and thanks for your service! I will try to prepare the best I can for the drama ahead, hopefully none. In my total class there are only 9 men total, so chances are I'll end up like you with a very few guys in a class. It may b...
