1. New Nurse, terrible shift

   Rob27 replied to ascty87's topic in General Nursing

   Do not worry about the other nurses "outgoingness and confidence." The best nurses I have ever seen are shy, quiet, and ask lots of (good) questions. If you don't know it, then that's OK, you can find out. The most dangerous thing in the world is to ...

2. Leaving federal job for nursing school

   Rob27 replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Exactly. Nearly everyone I work with sleep techs, CT, MRI, US, RT, PT etc makes more than nurses, bosses the hell out of us, and can just dump the patient off in the room and walk away, never having to deal with them for the next 12 hours. Do any o...

3. Leaving federal job for nursing school

   Rob27 replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got sidetracked by your thread, and felt compelled to reply. I do not think it is wise to leave the job you have, UNLESS you feel that you are not happy, and will not be happy in life unless you are nurse. Even then, I nearly promise you will even ...

4. Program retention rates question

   Rob27 replied to DegreeOrBust's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't really understand why it's even in question. Of course the programs weed you out in order to keep their NCLEX rates up. It's in their very best interest to do so. I would be more amazed if they didn't do this. In North Carolina, for example, ...

5. Help Me Choose?

   Rob27 posted a topic in General Students

   I got accepted into two programs both are small CC programs and I have no idea which to pick. They both have their Pros and Cons. How should I choose? One major Pro is that one program I can get student loans (Stafford) and the other they do not all...

6. What did you think of General Psychology?

   Rob27 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Could have been my instructor, but it was probably one of the most boring classes I have ever had. I was yawning with tears in my eyes every day. Was not really hard to me though. Just dry and boring as heck. Very Ben Stein like.

8. What would you do?

   Rob27 replied to Stever01's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's not true by any means. I got accepted into two programs this Fall and I have never stepped foot in a CNA program. I know of several schools that is close to me that does not require this. Also to the OP, In my state you can be a visiting stude...

9. ATI CARP?

   Rob27 posted a topic in General Students

   So one of the programs I got accepted to requires students take the ATI CARP (Comprehensive Assessment and Review Program) at the end of every semester. This will cost us $150 the first time, and $104 every one after. It appears that this is used to ...

10. A&P Critical Thinking Help?

    Rob27 replied to amanda081106's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The first thing that pops in my mind is: 1) Look up what the condition does, and look at how CO2 is packaged or carried in the blood. Put the information together and you should have an answer. 2) Look at what the by-products of breaking those foods ...

11. May have failed an Anatomy exam (unreasonably hard Professor)

    Rob27 replied to Nung's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Some people say that I come off as a jerk, when I do not mean to, so please forgive me if that is the case here. I find that I come out of a course learning more from a harder professor from an easy one. AP is certainly a course you would like to kno...

12. Newbie here:)

    Rob27 replied to MeganRaeT's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Welcome, welcome. I have not been here long myself, but I stop by every chance I get to read up. I learn something new everytime I stop by, and I am sure your experience will be the same.

13. Preventing Melanoma... help with strategies please

    Rob27 replied to SamJB's topic in Student Assist

    Education people on risk, especially young folks, seems to never work for whatever with sun risk. It's been a good 15 years into strong anti-smoking campaigns and higher taxes on the products, and it's still a problem. I don't see this as any differ...

14. Medical Controveries

    Rob27 replied to cknowlton's topic in General Students

    ...and if you do choose vaccine. Be sure to check out the FrontLine documentary. It was fairly interesting, I felt like.

15. Rejected, but they used really nice paper...

    Rob27 replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As a fellow male student, sucks you didn't make it. At first I thought you were saying that the quality of paper they used was nice haha. It seems that things do happen for a reason and I am sure it will work out nicely for you.
