  1. Should I become a nurse if I don't like bedside care?

    MDBoy replied to Sweetjen09's topic in General Students

    I don't know...I don't think you really need to be a "top" student necessarily. Put forth some decent effort and you should be able to do well enough to get mainly As and a couple Bs in the prereqs....

  2. How can I learn to be "rougher" with patients

    MDBoy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am very hesitant when touching patients, and want to be as delicate as possible, but I know that in the long run this is going to be a detriment to providing the best level of care I can. Is it just...

  7. ADN program starting now vs my aspirations towards and MD or DO: What do you think I should do?

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    How much of a path to an MD/DO is there from the nursing path? is there a point after becoming a BSN that there is an entry into it that isn't as long of a time to finish as the typical route? I...

  10. ADN program starting now vs my aspirations towards and MD or DO: What do you think I should do?

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    I don't believe what you are saying, "it's too late to be an MD" is just showing me you have either a lack of ingenuity, a predilection toward conventional (read: "wrong" ) wisdom and lack an ability...

    As far as I know, as long as its not the Coast Guard (limits 27 yrs old) or Marines, I do not think the Army, Navy and air force have traditional age limits, its just based on how in shape you are and...

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    Not trying to brag, but confidence in my academic prowess is not something I lack.I know I'd stand a good chance of getting into any program I chose really, its more a question of which approach is...

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    I have been contemplating not really even working as a CNA and just sticking to my main source of income which is doing promotional marketing. I can make about 50k/yr on less than full time hours even...

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    How about if I get my NP degree in a non-IP state, would I be able to practice in an IP state or are there any issues with

  20. Too early to start planning for becoming NP?

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So just to clarify, as a PMHNP, I could open my own practice? How soon after graduating would that be possible if so? A Psych NP/PA route has been an idea I've been toying with

  21. Too early to start planning for becoming NP?

    MDBoy replied to MDBoy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
