  1. The Wage Gap Myth

    car48 posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Not trying to start a gender war here, but would like to get someone to defend the idea that there is a wage gap. This video pretty much sums up why there isn't one to me: It is all...

  2. NCLEX was easy

    car48 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just thought I would share my NCLEX experience. As I am sure I have in common with all of you during nursing school all you heard was NCLEX this, or NCLEX that. I did ok in school, but the way they...

  3. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    car48 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am an RN - RN follows my name the same as yours (I presume you are, from your posts you intentionally put in 1/2 truths, so it would not surprise me to find out you are in 8th grade or something)....

  4. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    car48 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I picked TB because it is airborne. And speaking of "how did you get your license" wrapping a rag around your mouth does not stop any disease. If the masks helped at all (and they really don't) what...

  5. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    car48 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. The government should make a new task force of men armed with cattle prods to walk the streets and shock people whenever they touch their faces too. Furthermore, we should jail all people...

  6. Dosage calculation

    car48 replied to thepersistentone28's topic in General Students

    I always double check the meds before I give them because in RL the math is not all that hard. 99% of the time in my experience most medication adjustments are nothing more than braking a pill in...

  7. Can’t pass the NCLEX

    car48 replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't mean this to sound condescending or arrogant. However... Before you went to nursing school did you look at the NCLEX pass rate for your school? The 2 factors I used in determining what school...

  8. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    car48 replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add, California's regulations are really dumb. If you have an RN license, and they won't let you take a job as a CNA that is like saying "Sorry, you don't have a bike license. I know...

  9. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    car48 replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard that. A CNA or LPN does not have a different skill set than us. We should be able to our job in addition to their job. I don't do their job on a regular basis, but a doctor...

  10. Expelled from RN program, looking for options

    car48 replied to cjprenurse's topic in General Students

    I got straight A's in my pre-req's before nursing school. Took my first nursing test that I studied like crazy for and got 58. Everyone does bad on the first test I was told, but failure (esp. of...

  11. 41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    car48 replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    Do not take $ out of your IRA. If you want to go the entire graduate degree route over lets say 6 years (being optimistic), just not contributing the max amount to your IRA will cost you 142k by the...

  12. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To start with, nursing is not my first degree; history is. While that may not be an economics degree I think it qualifies me more than you to speak about things like this esp. when you bring up the...

  13. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You are talking about crony capitalism, and I am against that. Telsa, GE, GM should have all been left to die. As should solar and wind power because they are heavily subsidized. I own 2 electric...

  14. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    lol, ok. I stand corrected. Reverse the roles of the insects

  15. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's not bias, it is math. The government caps the amount it steals from wealthy people so that they can cap how much they pay out to them (at this point it is continued stealing because they continue...

  16. Inverted T wave

    car48 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I went to get my physical last week and the EKG shows an inverted T wave. I know what that can potentially mean, but all of the. possible issues that could cause that have some degree of heart...

  17. Inverted T wave

    car48 replied to car48's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I was just looking to see if an inverted T wave could be benign. I am going to have it checked out either way, but because I do not present with the usual things that come with a T wave...

  18. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The average growth of a job in the US is 7%. The growth in nursing is 15%. There is no arguing that, that is a fact Registered Nurses : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor...

  19. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    car48 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Day after I passed NCLEX I sent out 2 resumes. That afternoon I got a call, and an interview the next day. The day after the interview I was called and hired. The day after that the second place I...

  20. Intimidated by being only male

    car48 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    oops, double

  21. New Nurse, morality question.

    car48 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am a new nurse. By 'new' I mean I passed NCLEX 2 weeks ago. After I passed I sent out my resume and the place I wanted to work for gave me an interview. The interview went well, and afterwards my...

  22. What is the NCLEX pass rate of your school?

    car48 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For my class it was 92%. According to the website the national average is not out yet. How does that number compare to the completion rate? I only ask because so many here seem to have had a lot of...

  23. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    car48 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I wanted to post on the cartoon. If it is so easy to be a student athlete... go do it. They have a skill that is hard to gain and maintain. Imagine nursing school with 5 hours of practice 5 days a...

  24. Put on Probation in third semester

    car48 replied to GuestGuestGuest's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i think that doctor was a bit of a jerk. He went to how many years of medical school, and you have been a nurse for exactly zero seconds. It was protocol during my clinical that all meds be...

  25. Intimidated by being only male

    car48 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just finished nursing school and passed the NCLEX. I start my new job next Monday, and I will be the only male on the floor that I am aware of. I think males bring something that compliment a...
