   tyler replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   that is too funny...does anyone understand what this person is talking about? seriously, the logic with which he/she operates is...unique. [i know i said this was my last post but I kept getting email notices and over30nursestudent's incongruous and ...

2. study guides on N.E.T./exams

   tyler replied to kkind4's topic in Pre-Nursing

   in my opinion, whether you need this book depends on what kind of test taker you are and how much is at stake. personally, i test very well but our school alomost exclusively bases its admission criteria upon the NET. i purchased the HOBBET study gui...

3. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

   tyler replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   that's not what i said...i said: many schools to require some form of lab dissection (cat, rat, shark, fetal pig, or whatever). whether that's a silly requirement is for a student to address with the curriculum committee. regardless, it is not "rea...

4. Opinions please.....

   tyler replied to bmburke78's topic in General Students

   yep...that's how our hospital does it. btw, i always ask that a potential employer refrain from verifying any reference until after the first interview. many times, during the first interview, i realize that i don't want to work for them and i'd rath...

5. do i really have to give two weeks notice??

   tyler replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

   i think the question comes down to whether or not you want to work there again. technically you are probably an "at will" employee meaning that neither you nor the hospital/facility is bound to give any reason (i think) nor any notice before terminat...

   yep...i posted that link in the OP. just don't want to fork over the $3 to view a potentially useless article (call me frugal). thanks though, ty

   tyler replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   being old and having "experienced" life will not make you any more tolerant or sensitive, nor will it make you any more intelligent. let's discuss two false statements made by you, over30nursingstudent, in a previous post: except if you have to pas...

    OK, I'll bite...how should I have responded to the OP?

11. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    tyler replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Good for you! I'm genuinely happy for you and envious, as I agree with many of the principles usually associated with vegetarianism. I was referring to the OP's "...I just woke up..." comment. I did say I was "guessing" he would grow out of it, I was...

    tyler replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ...and some day you'll wake up and be a meat eater again. When that happens you'll be upset that you couldn't get through nursing school because of a stupid dead cat. I'm a guy, I went through my veggie phase, I grew out of it (steaks are yummy once ...

    Hi, Does anyone have access to this article? "Choosing the best stethoscope" by C. Estelle Beaumont, MS, PhD Nursing2005 w/ Supplement: ED Insider August, 2005,Volume 35, Number 8, Pages 27 - 28 I'm guessing it's in the ED Insider part as our s...

14. any of you have a bad past?

    tyler replied to nikkif's topic in General Students

    Good point...question is, if you want to be a nurse, do you take the chance or do you risk not getting in at all. I'd guess that if he/she got in, got a 4.0, and then was "exposed," the school would let it slide rather than lose an excellent, mature,...

15. any of you have a bad past?

    tyler replied to nikkif's topic in General Students

    Did you already report that your were in school that long ago? The reason I ask is that may schools have a policy that they will not accept/transfer prior credit from more than 5 or 10 years ago. If your school has a similar policy, turn the tables a...
