  1. MEN, dont come into nursing

    Conqueror Slothful replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Speak for yourself. Im a newer nurse and I'm absolutely killing it professionally and financially. I make what feels like a small fortune and my supervising staff are completely reliant on me and...

  2. Am I getting into nursing for the right reason?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to ZombieMedic123's topic in Men in Nursing

    No, you're not getting into it for the wrong reason. There is no right or wrong reason. Value the actual nursing skills and knowledge, everything else can go in one ear and out the other. If you...

  3. You're not a male nurse

    Conqueror Slothful replied to GunnyNurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Because she wrongly chose feminism earlier in her life, it led her to a dead-end, and now she's bitter about

  4. The Wage Gap Myth

    Conqueror Slothful replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thank you for making that point. Exceptions don't make the rule. The world having always been dominated by men since the beginning of human kind is not a social

  5. The Wage Gap Myth

    Conqueror Slothful replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Consider the possibility that men, in general, possess more traits that are characteristic of what society deems to be a good leader than women. I know that feminism, especially modern feminism, is...

  6. Who has kids? How do you balance?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Darveaux5's topic in General Students

    To the OP: Do what you have to do to support and provide for your family and work backwards from there. However much time you are able to carve out of that to spend with your family while still...

  7. New correctional nurse

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nadenka's topic in Correctional

    I am aiming at a correctional nurse position. I would guess that most likely none of the people who have said that about prison nursing have ever worked there and have only ever spoken to people who...

  8. You're not a male nurse

    Conqueror Slothful replied to GunnyNurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am definitely a male nurse. I don't think the title holds a negative connotation. I believe that presenting as a masculine male will demand respect and that having a large, physically fit stature...

  9. What topics did you struggle with most in nursing school or during your pre-reqs?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Leslie N.'s topic in General Students

    For pre reqs I would say easily Microbiology. I got an A but it was the hardest earned A of my life. For actual nursing program I would say pharm and dosage exams/questions were the most...

  10. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is difficult, but it isn't too difficult. I've succeeded in more difficult academic environments. I thought that Microbiology as a pre req was harder, although it was significantly...

  11. I messed up, terribly. I failed out of my CA CC nursing program and I'm devastated.

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Throwaway3472's topic in General Students

    OK negative nancy. My 4th semester was more difficult than my 5th semester. I think youre speaking for

  12. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The question is not "Who earns more per year?" The question is "Who earns more per hour?" We have to compare an equal amount of time worked in order to figure out what the pay comparison is. Show...

  13. I messed up, terribly. I failed out of my CA CC nursing program and I'm devastated.

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Throwaway3472's topic in General Students

    You did not fail the program because of ADHD or any other diagnosis. I know this because you got into the program in the first place and in order to do so you had to have been a really good student....

  14. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To address the wage gap myth: Female nurses do not earn only 75% of the pay of their male counterparts. Show me the paystubs or I call bluff. I'd say that generally female nurses like to withhold...

  15. Who has kids? How do you balance?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Darveaux5's topic in General Students

    With 46 years experience in the field I have to ask: Why are you posting in the general students section on this

  16. Why Do Nursing Students Fail Nursing Program?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Zophina Channel's topic in General Students

    Anything that is in test format it almost 100% objective. However, clinical environments lend themselves to subjectivity. Does the clinical instructor like the student personally? Do they dislike...

  17. Best men's watch for male nurses

    Conqueror Slothful replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Get yourself a nice stainless steel, swiss watch. You have made it into the profession, get yourself a nice watch that is good value for money. Hamilton makes watches like this. They are sports...

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

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Stop focusing on dating. Focus on yourself and building yourself into the best version that you possibly can: Im talking about mental strength, physical strength, wealth, assets etc. Set a lofty goal,...

  19. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would say it's something we should care about. Why would I want to put up with BS in the workplace? Why should someone be allowed to BS in the workplace? I don't think it's a stretch to say that...

  20. Why Do Nursing Students Fail Nursing Program?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Zophina Channel's topic in General Students

    One of the major reasons nursing students fail is because there is a lot of subjective decision making being done by faculty and clinical instructors. They have a propensity to grade the student...

  21. Who has kids? How do you balance?

    Conqueror Slothful replied to Darveaux5's topic in General Students

    I don't really balance it. I focus on what I need to do to support them financially in the future: They are only going to continue to require more resources. Any time I spend with them is play time,...

  22. Clinical Instructor Bullying

    Conqueror Slothful posted a topic in General Students

    Had a pretty bad run-in with a clinical instructor bully. I was not even the first student in my clinical group to verbalize concern about the clinical instructor. I am an older student, and although...

  23. The Wage Gap Myth

    Conqueror Slothful replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Might need to define "less qualified". Be as objective as possible. Remove yourself from yourself and look at the situation from a 3rd

  24. Biased Clinical Instructor

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nurseinthemaking24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I disagree. I've noticed quite a few nurses being on a very high horse. There are plenty of professionals out there that aren't jerks simply because they are in the profession. There are people who...

  25. Biased Clinical Instructor

    Conqueror Slothful replied to nurseinthemaking24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Probably the best advice so
