  1. A "dating female students in your class" post

    GilbertDaddy replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I was thinking about this a lot. At first I always joked about getting that kind of attention. I'm a younger guy, keep in shape, and all that. But then I realized that in all honesty, I'll likely be...

  2. Taking the Big Step

    GilbertDaddy replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm in that "brainstorming" mindset as well. Being a single dad, I get no support and do it all myself 7 days a week. Daycare runs over 10k a year so I can even work, even a modest reliable car...

  3. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

    GilbertDaddy replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wasn't so sure when I first started, but the more I read about male nurses, I was happy to learn that we get to bypass the self-cannibalization that some female nurses suffer when they enter. No...

  4. How did your spouse handle the news of a career change?

    GilbertDaddy replied to CTGuy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I first became interested in nursing after the burnout from IT set in. I mentioned it to my fiancee and she didn't blink. We couldn't afford it of course and she needed me there, so those...

  5. why did you go into nursing?

    GilbertDaddy replied to nghtfltguy's topic in Men in Nursing

    After having 2 kids (well technically I didn't have them), I noticed the nurses did 99% of the work. I began to keep keen on this and I realized nurses were caring for me 95% of the time I was in...

  6. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    GilbertDaddy replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I feel the same - I wouldn't have felt nearly this confident a few years ago! I suppose we should let this topic get back off tangent =) Good luck as

  7. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    GilbertDaddy replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ah yes, I read your story.. and I guess I can share your plight Although I can imagine you deserve a bit more justified frustration :) In my case it's probably best to take it again, although while...

  8. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    GilbertDaddy replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hmm, it's all so interesting, I swear I'm so excited for all of this. Being a computer programmer and working in IT for so long, it now feels like I'm learning a new language. Like I'm learning how...

  9. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    GilbertDaddy replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think my CHM labs have some virtual and real life contact (while it seems the BIO lab is all internet). Hmm, I'm seriously thinking about taking this too.. I imagine it will help when I take...

  10. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    GilbertDaddy replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This makes a lot of sense and I had read something similar in another thread. Once you stop and think about it, it does indeed make a TON of sense.. I believe it's only 2 credits and many folks said...

  11. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That would be interesting.. I was doing the math and full time at 12 credits means you're doing 2-3 hours of school a day. However if there are labs, I remember that's an extra hour somewhere once a...

  12. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The accelerated pace is what really interests me.. if I did it at a CC, I'd be working full time as a programmer and then taking classes in the morning or night. I worry that my tight schedule may...

  13. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Heh, healthcare is at least not an artificial boom like the IT and real estate booms I've been in and worked during! Am I able to take any classes in the nursing program previous to acceptance? Or...

  14. A&P 1 Spring 08

    GilbertDaddy replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's probably for the best.. I work fulltime, am a single dad to 2 young ones, and would probably benefit from an easier course to start with.. It will also give me a little time to start learning...

  15. A&P 1 Spring 08

    GilbertDaddy replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just found out my high school credits in Biology were only good for 5 years =/ I've been out of HS for almost 10 now.. Looks like I'll have to catch you all next semester

  16. A&P 1 Spring 08

    GilbertDaddy replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! Reading the notes, there are a few things I'd like to study more in depth so those links will help :) I'm signing up for Rio Salado courses right now A&P I and CHM 130. Can't wait to get...

  17. Annual Report Of Az Rn Programs

    GilbertDaddy replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    looks like the .doc link is

  18. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That would indeed be excellent news. Although like you pointed out, it doesn't seem like they'd change something so important if they weren't seeing an issue with the current system. The changes...

  19. Pre-reqs change MCC

    GilbertDaddy replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh my God, this is amazing!!! I was getting bummed because I still had to take BIO156 before taking BIO201. Then I completely forgot that I _DID_ take Biology in high school, it was Chemistry I...

  20. Poor Instructors

    GilbertDaddy replied to Eric Scott's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow really? I was positive it was just a matter of general zoning and only an issue with the HOA if you converted a bedroom or private living space to a massage studio? I'd be curious about that...

  21. Poor Instructors

    GilbertDaddy replied to Eric Scott's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Because of the initial time investment and the entrance salary being similar in some aspects, I really pursued massage therapy at both Apollo and ASMT and having gone through real estate school the...

  22. How soon can you apply to a nursing program? Do you need to finish ALL pre-reqs?

    GilbertDaddy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was under the impression that you needed to complete all the prereqs up to A&P II, MicroBio, etc. But then I read some posts like this: https://allnurses.com/forums/2389766-post5.html And it...

  23. Phoenix Indian Medical Center

    GilbertDaddy replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Personally I don't see a huge problem with it. Free daycare is given from the TRIBES to those who can obtain certification of indian blood. I guess the hospital could take everyone including those...

  24. How soon can you apply to a nursing program? Do you need to finish ALL pre-reqs?

    GilbertDaddy replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That makes sense, I have 2-3 in mind (Rio Salado [if they still have open slots], Mesa Community College, and Chandler-Gilbert CC), I guess I'll buzz them up on Monday when they're open again

  25. Phoenix Indian Medical Center

    GilbertDaddy replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Both my children are 1/4 navajo (though I'm a very white 1/2 mexican) and they look just like me. I take them there during times when they don't have insurance for one reason or another (job change,...
