    HYPEractiveTTU posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    Hi all, First, I'd like to thank everyone who has helped others on the path to informatics. It is difficult finding resources due to how new the field is, so I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say...

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to JoshuaAdamsRN's topic in Emergency

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think the Acute Care program is dysfunctional. I spoke with the new director on several occasions and she seems extremely enthusiastic about the program. She answered all the questions I...

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    you're gonna be on your feet a lot in some of the rotations, so make sure that the shoes you pick are comfortable. It really doesn't matter what kind they are, just as long as they are all white...

  8. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There's no dress code at Columbia, THANK GOD. I'm so exhausted knowing that we're almost done with the BSN portion (along with a small case of "senioritis"), that I just wake up, brush my teeth and...

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The housing is for New York Presbyterian employees, so we aren't eligible for that. The shuttle is free and leaves on the hour. The students who had rotations at Cornell frequently used that since...

  12. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's normal. Sometimes, the nurse your shadowing is more uncomfortable than you! I knew that my OB rotation might be the only time I would ever see a birth (i'll probably be on the "support" side...

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, it's kind of like what Mah...--i mean Yogagal said. People usually don't post here if everything is awesome. It's like a restaurant. If you enjoyed the food and service, you usually won't go...

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to cozzy66's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. Change title of "Nurse"?

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    I completely agree, but a name change would definitely allow these kids to take a second look rather than shutting it off completely. Instead of, "nah, i dont want to stop by that club... it's for...

  19. Change title of "Nurse"?

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    There is a marketing campaign right now, that is mainly directed towards women ("I'm a nurse..."). At the end of the day, don't you ALSO get women dropping programs that ALSO just end up taking...

  20. Change title of "Nurse"?

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

  21. Change title of "Nurse"?

    HYPEractiveTTU replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think there is a lot of "preaching to the choir" when many say that if you don't like the job title, then don't enter the field. There are gentlemen who have posted here who have been through years...
