   Let me rephrase my previous comment. "A lot less secondary gain." probably would have been the better way of saying it.

2. I Hate Psych

   Tommo446 replied to b52RN's topic in Psychiatric

   Couldn't agree more I work with behavioral adolescents. I actually love where I work. The only problem is I feel like I'm losing a little bit of knowledge every day :/. That's the one reason I'm job searching. However, if you love psyche peds may be ...

   Tommo446 replied to Morettia2's topic in New Nurse

   I loved your story. I'm a brand new grad, going though hell and back everyday it feels! I've been working within the prison system for the past 11 weeks and I'm starting to like the prisoners more than most of my coworkers. I'm also a guy which I fee...

4. Stereotyping Male Nurses

   Tommo446 replied to lvansick's topic in Male Students

   Ohh it never stopped while I was in school. They'd gang up on the prettiest girls in class or the smartest girls in class. The "Who does she think she is " line was habitual. I never understood why the girls were so catty to each other it was unreal.

   Tommo446 replied to mikethemurse's topic in Correctional

   Thank you, I have an extensive security background and just graduated nursing school so when I saw a near by prison was hiring I thought it might be perfect for me. Filled out the application got an interview and a job offer. I just officially accep...

   Got the quick results today and I passed!! PVT isn't like it used to be and apparently the credit card page does not mean you in fact failed!

    Tommo446 replied to Tommo446's topic in NCLEX

    I was brought to the page where you enter your cc info I went as far as the page that said submit payment but I didn't want to click it because I didn't have $200 in my account. Are you saying the pvt is different now and I still may of passed?

    Poor guy* lol it's ok though honest mistake! I'm holding on to a little hope but I don't think I'm hearing good news tomorrow. Have you taken nclex already? If so how/what did you study?

13. The bad pop up and a bad feeling.

    Tommo446 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took the exam this morning and about two and a half hours in it shut off around 130 questions. The last four questions I answered were SATA which I don't think anyone is extremely comfortable with but they were also topics I'm not particularly comf...

14. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    Tommo446 replied to lvansick's topic in Male Students

    I absolutely hate this stereotype. I'm currently a nursing student (male) and I am the furthest thing from gay. I'm one of six guys in my program only one is gay. I've never felt like I've been singled out at all for being a male student. The one thi...

15. Nursing School Burnout - RANT!

    Tommo446 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    This is great advice! As nurses we're taught holistic care, maybe sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves in the same manner. Getting to focused on school in general can make you do a lot of unhealthy things (i.e. lack of sleep). I'm definitely...
