Thanks for your reply. I was thinking along the same wavelength when it came to these programs.

"I'm going to need a larger lollipop..."

I really liked reading about this method, and I definitely think it's a way to make a applicant stand out, and probably bypass a few of the 'hoops' in the application process. Many of the...

Great story. I love hearing about people that 'keep their head up' and put in the time to just get it done. I'm really happy for you. Congrats to the max.

I'm totally with ya, man. I spent my off time doing usually one of 4 things... lifting weights, writing, drinking whiskey, and going out with girls. Life is all about balance. Take care of your...

Yup, that's Laverne. Looks like I'm not eating at that Mexican place again.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad so many people can relate to my story, and it's nice to hear to each and every one of you. :D

Thanks for a review of the current recommendations and policies. I was quizzed on the difference between using Zofran and Phenergan and besides the drowsiness, this is the most important difference.

People tell me I'm an easygoing guy. I can handle 3 exams in a week, or a multiple page paper that's length rivals something from Tolkien. However, we all have our breaking points, our moments when...

I've yet to have any patient comment on me in a negative manner. The ones you would think would have a problem due to old fashioned values (elderly, immigrants from other countries), all respect me...

I understand that it's frustrating, and I agree that getting into something, anything, for the wrong reasons will ultimately end in failure. Whether it's appropriate or not, the people that got into...

I'm not an RN yet, but live in the area, 'word on the street' is that a new grad can expect something in the $23/hr range, base without any differentials.

I don't graduate until May, but I have been interested in the fellowship after I'm finished with school. I searched the website, and there is no mention of start dates, or how many admission cycles...

Truth. Both men and women (women more though, maybe) compare themselves to others all the time. This is especially true in school because it's a competitive place. The single most important thing...

I don't think I've been subjected to double standards yet, however I have noticed a couple of differences between male and female interactions with professors: - I feel like males are sometimes...

I'll agree with most of this, but I'll also add that having strong male qualities also forms a foundation for a good nurse. In dark and uncertain times, someone that is strong, confident, and...

I don't think it makes you a bad person at all. You had feelings for her, and you got hurt, bottom line. It's good though, you learned that she in fact didn't have the same feelings towards you. ...

Hey now, I've had more game with the ladies since I started going bald. If you're still confident, it's easy :p

I first responded to this thread before I started an accelerated program. No that I'm about done with my first semester... My thoughts really haven't changed. After you take away the married...

I'm currently in nursing school, so maybe my view is skewed, since the only women I interact with on a daily basis are other students. Students are going to understand a male's interest in nursing....

Now that I've been in the program for almost a full semester, I've found that my study habits are really different from my other classmates. I much prefer to spend 1-2 hours a day going over...

You're right that they stated they are 'focusing on the existing applicant pool', which included the year 2011. I am attempting to work with COSTEP, and luckily my application was taken for...

This was a fantastic thread that answered tons of my questions about the USPHS. I've been tentatively selected to participate for SRCOSTEP, probably for the BOP. Anybody else out there trying to...

Thanks for your help. I'll look into unit clerk and some other clerk positions:up:

Absolutely fantastic article. If there was an award show, I'd nominate it for sure. Quick question. If someone is unable to get their CNA license before they start school, what other kind of...
