  1. Student Nurse or Nursing Student

    corbinRN replied to realkreativ's topic in General Students

    I choose to sign my name with ,SN behind it, but in the electronic medical chart system at the hospital, my name is signed automatically with ,NS behind it. But I just think that Student Nurse sounds...

  2. clinicals

    corbinRN replied to able2009's topic in General Students

    At my school the only OB rotation was 4 hours obstetrics, 4 hours postpartum, and 4 hours new born nursery. That's it...it kinda sucked. I did get to see 2 C-sections, one in which the baby died with...

  3. about Z-track

    corbinRN replied to GingerSue's topic in General Students

    This is what I have learned and how I've always practiced (and no clinical instructor or observing nurse ever corrected me on): Aspirate with IMs to make sure you're NOT in a blood vessel. Aspirate...

  4. Any CNAs in PICU or NICU?

    corbinRN posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi! I was wondering if there were any CNAs on here in the PICU or NICU. If so, would you mind telling me how it is and what you do during a typical

  5. Any CNAs in PICU or NICU?

    corbinRN replied to corbinRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's great! I hope to work at either Rex or Wake Med when I graduate! That's awesome! Congratulations! Let me know how you like it and what you do.

  6. CNA weekend programs near Raleigh??

    corbinRN replied to carebear890's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's weird...my nursing program (Pitt Community College, Greenville, NC) didn't require CNA before entering the program. We actually got it after first semester (all we had to do was take the test)....

  7. Gay Nurses... help!

    corbinRN replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't know if anyone said this because I was too lazy to read all nine pages, but: I am not gay, but why do people think that gay men are attracted to EVERY guy he sees? I'm a straight male and I'm...

  8. I wanna a be male nurse?

    corbinRN replied to thegreatone28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I know this was already said, but I was a little offended when you said that Doctors don't care for people. I know doctors and they are very caring! In fact, I hope to make it into med school one day....

  9. When did cutting corners become acceptable?

    corbinRN replied to shy_wolf101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I KNOW! That made me mad when I started my job at a retirement community/nursing home. The person who oriented me just said that he liked to do everything fast so he could get done. He was just so...

  10. Curious...any of you guys considering Peds/PICU/NICU?

    corbinRN replied to SteveNNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hi guys! I'm in nursing school in NC right now in an ADN program. I haven't had me peds rotation yet, but I am looking forward to it next semester. I just really love kids and have been thinking about...

  11. New to the board - terrified of NA exam! (NC)

    corbinRN replied to Shawbunny's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi ShawBunny, I took the NA1 test in NC a couple months ago. I am in a nursing program, so I think that it is easier if you are actually in a CNA course. But anyway, I passed on the first try. Don't...

  12. Certification

    corbinRN posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    After sending off your paperwork to get your NA1, how long did it take to hear from them, and how long did it take to set up your testing time? After passing the test, how long did it take to become...

  13. Demeaning, thankless job?

    corbinRN replied to NurseToBeLMC's topic in General Students

    Hi! The only advice I can give you is this: If the family was cursing at you, you could simply say, "I am sorry, but I would like to help you the best I can, but I will not be talked to in this...

  14. What is your choice?

    corbinRN replied to The Dude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Unless you have to, don't get a long lab coat. I got mine longer because I thought it would look better, but I ended up getting it hemmed (sp?) because it was just too much. I don't recommend the...

  15. How many male teachers you have?

    corbinRN replied to atrex's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Both genders are equally qualified, but they can both bring different perspectives to the same situation. I have no male professors in nursing

  16. Work Visa for Foreign Nurses: Is there such a thing?

    corbinRN replied to Antigone's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you are a student, I believe a student visa is sufficient, but I don't know about the work

  17. male nurse haircut rules

    corbinRN replied to albert6jed's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What does "not in CA" mean? Anyway, my program just says that your hair must be put up (or short enough) to not touch the collar and facial hair must be trimmed neatly. Tats are OK as long as they are...

  18. L&D rotation as a guy

    corbinRN replied to pharho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    hahaha! I'd think it'd been more embarassing for the cashier to tell that to

  19. Can nurses wear skirts?

    corbinRN replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I live near Grifton, NC where there is a population of Holdeman Mennonites. This type of mennonite is most similar to Amish. They dress with the "old-fashioned" dresses and they must have their hair...

  20. L&D rotation as a guy

    corbinRN replied to pharho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Brian for the stories. They really helped me understand what it might be like during my clinical rotations. You know, I think it is sad that men get so much grief over this. I'm sure that a...

    corbinRN replied to pharho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    can you buy any solid color shoe, or does it have to be a specific brand? because if you can buy any, might i reccommend the crocs "professional" style shoes. they're about $45 (that includes...

  25. Advantages/Disadvantages being a male in nursing

    corbinRN replied to wannabFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Where I am going to school, it used to be an issue because they were trying to promote diversity, but this is no longer an issue because they thought it was too unfair, which it is...
