1. Tattoos

   Murseman2011 replied to NurseJay85's topic in Male Students

   At work I have never covered them although my scrub top does the job very well. My inner bicep one peaks out a little. In school they must be covered. No exceptions.

2. Ati proctored fundamentals test

   Murseman2011 replied to k78frem's topic in General Students

   Ah ATI. A friend and a foe. Read the book that you are given that comes from ATI. That is what I do. I always get Level 2's and 3's.

3. What is in your clinical bag?

   Murseman2011 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

   Stethoscope, pen light, pens, shears, memo pad, pocket reference, calculator, notebook paper, some folders, drug book, Nanda book, coban to cover my tats, hand gel, lotion, lipbalm. Stuff like that.

4. Why is nursing school "hard?"

   Murseman2011 replied to Jaykalkyn, BSN, RN's topic in General Students

   I was told this by a medical doctor: Nursing school is hard because you learn the bulk of what med students learn but in a much shorter time frame. There you go. Once again. That came from a medical doctor.

5. Trying to decide if it's worth it

   Murseman2011 replied to melc0305's topic in General Students

   Nursing is not about the money. If you only work to make money then you will most likely find that nursing is not for you. No nurse is paid enough for the amount of skill and work that is required to do their job.

   I use a targus bag. It doesn't roll, but it is very big and well padded. Plus it is a good leg workout.

10. Missed the First Lab!

    Murseman2011 replied to blurredyearning's topic in General Students

    Missing isn't good. I have been told by nurses and even doctors that when you are in nursing school, you only miss if you are dying or giving birth.

12. Is a tablet a good investment for nursing school

    Murseman2011 replied to clclc4444's topic in Headlines

    I am a notebook/pen guy. I only use computers and such when I really need to. Just something about ink and paper helps me to study better.

15. Guys: what made you want to go into nursing?

    Murseman2011 replied to Canadian eh?'s topic in Men

    I wanted to work in medicine, but I didn't want to spend 80+ hours a week away from my family. I also wanted direct patient contact. Thus I chose nursing=)
