1. Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?

   Murse Wannabe replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Male Students

   I actually hear it from a lot of nurses. I know that class statistics aren't the best way to look at the field, but I've noticed people talking about the male-female ratios. And there's usually significantly less males.

2. Tips for Chemistry

   Murse Wannabe replied to s2bLuluRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Practice makes perfect. Plain and simple. Most schools offer free tutoring if you're having trouble. Listen in class, take good notes, refer to the book if you have questions, ask the professor, do practice problems. If you can teach other people, i...

3. Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?

   Murse Wannabe posted a topic in Male Students

   Have any of you male nursing students felt left out of the conversation during classes? Are textbooks and classes still taught in a way that's gender-biased towards women? It's not so much a concern as a curiosity. I keep hearing that Nursing is a fe...

4. Which classes are better to take

   Murse Wannabe replied to Edson12's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would take Anat and Phys seperately. Some schools don't accept them together. Unless you're gunning for programs that specifically lists them as a combined class requirement. Difficulty depends on how you are as a student. If you're working or have...

   From your experiences, does volunteering in a hospital or other patient care setting help you get a job after graduating? I know most places prefer paid work experience, but does volunteering help at all? Has anyone gotten a job with just volunteer...

6. ADN now or BSN later?

   Murse Wannabe replied to sarah0987's topic in School Programs

   I went to an info session for Cypress and they said the average points for their incoming classes are usually 28 and that the lowest is usually 26. They said that the best way to increase your chances is to get rid of those GE reqs.

8. ADN vs BSN

   Murse Wannabe replied to swngstr's topic in ADN/BSN

   If there really isn't a difference, then why are hospitals opting to hire more BSNs or transitioning their RNs to BSNs? Isn't it more cost effective for the hospital to hire/use more ADNs? BSNs have to get paid more because of their degree correct? O...

9. ADN now or BSN later?

   Murse Wannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I earned a BA in Public Health Policy and worked in admin for a year. I hated it and realized I wanted to go into patient care, so I started looking at Nursing. I took some prereqs, and applied to EL-MSN programs, but got rejected because my under...
