  1. Intimidated by being only male

    stockmanjr replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The only time I felt out of place in my program is OB. My CI was an idiot and kept assigning me to woman who for religious reasons didn't want a man examining them. Even though I totally respect the...

  2. Does dating get easier as a male nurse in his 30s?

    stockmanjr replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Working as someones superior and dating them is a horrible idea. If someone snitched that could be a huge

  3. ABSN VS ADN

    stockmanjr replied to amas's topic in General Students

    In a ADN program you get a full semester of clinical versus the very crammed clinical of ABSN. Of course your clinical experiences may vary wildly between institutions and

  4. Picking Clinical Sites

    stockmanjr replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in General Students

    I'm going to guess this is for your first semester but please correct me if I'm

  5. Teachers Discriminating against students

    stockmanjr replied to harkness1989's topic in General Students

    If what you're saying about professors giving points back on exams to certain students is true then that's a really serious issue. On the other hand sleeping through a presentation is bad and it gives...

  6. ABSN VS ADN

    stockmanjr replied to amas's topic in General Students

    I had a previous BA and ended up going the ADN-BSN route. I couldn't justify the cost of the ABSN. Think it was a $90k difference which I would have had to take out very expensive private loans to...

    stockmanjr replied to Ac4414's topic in School, College Programs

    Apply to CUNY it's a much more affordable

  8. are ATI's rigged?

    stockmanjr replied to NPPN9's topic in General Students

    The only "Rigged" thing I've ever seen with ATI is my school who was only giving credit for your raw ATI score not the level achieved. They changed that to points awarded based upon levels, but it was...

  9. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    stockmanjr replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    Just work extra hard and you'll be surrpised how often the rumors are

  10. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    stockmanjr replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    Why are you assuming that the OP didn't act like a mature adult? I had a situation with a previous employer where a Nurse MGR stole an item from me, and it became a big deal with the hospital. She...

  11. med surg Q bank

    stockmanjr replied to blenderbottle's topic in General Students

    The textbook questions for my B&S Med Surge book were quite easy and nothing like my exam

  12. 12 and 1/2 hours with only 30 minutes for lunch

    stockmanjr replied to blenderbottle's topic in General Students

    Actually I found that in my clinicals many nurses didn't want our help. They were busy and a good chunk of them werent really happy to have us around period. There were exceptions of

  13. What happens if you are injured on your way to clinical due to weather?

    stockmanjr replied to invitemeplz's topic in General Students

    A good school that actually cares about their students would cancel clinical in severe weather. Also a lot of hospitals wouldn't want students around during a severe weather event as they're probably...

  14. Nursing School Requiring a 85% test average?

    stockmanjr replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    85% is quite high plus how do they define passing the Kaplan exam? The percentage of the Kaplan grade is also too large

  15. 130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

    stockmanjr replied to ns90's topic in General Students

    Agree with that. I just don't understand how you can be a master of something with zero experience. My favorite is the CNL that alot of these programs give just absurd to make someone with zero...

  16. 130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

    stockmanjr replied to ns90's topic in General Students

    It's also the crowd who wants to go directly to being an NP. This is especially seen with Columbia's MDE program which makes applicants choose what kind of NP they want to be before a single day of...

  17. Give LTC a chance, or get out now?

    stockmanjr replied to mc-escher's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The problem in LTC is sometimes you have no one to ask for help from. Friend of mine is a recently ADN grad here in NYC, and after 1.5 weeks of "Training" she was abruptly told that she would be by...

  18. St. Pauls School of Nursing 2018

    stockmanjr replied to Ac4414's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I hear the place is a mess this is from some grads that I'm in a different BSN program with. However if it's your own option and you're able to teach yourself it may work

  19. Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

    stockmanjr replied to Jae89's topic in New York Nursing

    Recent ADN grad doing my BSN now. Not a single person in my cohort got a hospital job. Several got LTC jobs some of which only gave them 1.5 weeks of training and then gave them an entire night shift...

  20. Nursing school isn't preparing me for the real world

    stockmanjr replied to yesrun's topic in General Students

    So summer externships or other healthcare experience is a waste? I think alot of folks are drinking the kool-aid of these

  21. Nursing school isn't preparing me for the real world

    stockmanjr replied to yesrun's topic in General Students

    Is it just me or does it seem strange that someone with zero experience can get CNL

  22. Parents will kick me out if I don't drop my nursing dreams...

    stockmanjr replied to Guest1031502's topic in General Students

    Making threats like this is abuse in my mind, and shouldn't be tolerated. If you don't stand up to your parents now this will just get worse, and worse as you get older. I've seen this before as...

  23. Facility not allowing us patient contact

    stockmanjr posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all, Long time lurker first time poster. I'm doing my half semester psyc rotation right now and after five weeks we haven't been allowed by the facility to step foot on any of their units hence no...

  24. Facility not allowing us patient contact

    stockmanjr replied to stockmanjr's topic in General Students

  25. Facility not allowing us patient contact

    stockmanjr replied to stockmanjr's topic in General Students

    Had a conversation with the higher ups in my program yesterday, and was assured that no one will be failed r/t this issue. I was also told that they haven't found other sites willing to take us, but...
