  1. Male new to nursing- HELP!

    insa replied to osukellen's topic in Men in Nursing

    Re: the MSN route. I'm doing prerequisites now (and I have many more to do than you, you lucky dog!). I'm planning on an accelerated BSN starting next year. I did find some direct-entry MSN programs,...

  2. Attention Gaylord Focker...

    insa replied to forgop's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm in exactly the same boat at 35. I had what many people would consider to be a great desk job. I got the job that I wanted to go for, but I guess what I wanted changed. Sometimes I get that "If...

  3. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

    insa replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree with the two previous posts 100%. Navy is the first choice, especially if you only have one suit -- and really, if you're not going into banking or law, you really only need one at least for...

  4. Anyone else taking on-line courses?

    insa replied to Nurse Allison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first comment I have has been made already, but it bears repeating: don't get behind! Second, I too am blocking time during the day to study while my son is at preschool. If your experience is...

  5. I need your help! :)

    insa replied to JDunk's topic in Men in Nursing

    Too late at 32? I'm taking prerequisites at 35, so I sure hope

  6. Guys: How do you handle the female aggressiveness/possessiveness

    insa replied to lpnguy26's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think Roy is right: stop playing their game. Maybe I'm misreading it, but the subtext of the question appears to me to be, "How do I stop all these women flirting with me?" My suggestion is, don't...

  7. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    insa replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my class (it's an online class) has been exchanging all kinds of mnemonics on an online message board. i'm finding it's somewhat helpful (e.g., the radius is radial), but for me the best approach...

  8. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    insa replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad to hear your input: it hadn't occurred to me that a short course would be harder to retain. I'm taking a semester-long A&P 1, but planning on summer-session A&P 2, so I'm in the...

  9. Recording Lectures- Changing Format

    insa replied to checkmate's topic in General Nursing

    It should be very, very easy. It's difficult to re-record copyrighted material that has "digital rights management" software. But if you're making the recording, digital rights management won't apply....

  10. Questions for UK nurses who have made the move to the USA

    insa replied to Clarecartwright's topic in United Kingdom

    It's hard to get used to, but remember anything to do with government in the US is far more decentralized than in Britain. What this means for teacher wages is that it depends on which state you're...

  11. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    insa replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never heard of anything like this before. It seems most print textbooks have extensive accompanying web sites nowadays, but ditching the print part? That's new to me. Only you can decide what...

  12. Questions for UK nurses who have made the move to the USA

    insa replied to Clarecartwright's topic in United Kingdom

    I think this is exactly right! Americans tend to think the British are very withdrawn and reserved because they don't behave in a friendly way unless they want to be friends. The British can find it...

  13. Questions for UK nurses who have made the move to the USA

    insa replied to Clarecartwright's topic in United Kingdom

    I'm about to advise you not to take advice from people like me, but: DON'T take advice about US immigration/work rules from family members or other people on allnurses.com. Get it in writing from...

  14. Questions for UK nurses who have made the move to the USA

    insa replied to Clarecartwright's topic in United Kingdom

    In the States, a good rule of thumb is that 1/3 of your gross income (income before taxes) is the limit of affordability for housing costs. Keep in mind if you're taking school-age children that...

  15. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    insa replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh, that's a tough decision. I don't dare give advice about what you should do, but I can think of a couple of questions to ask yourself that might help you decide: Have you ever been in a place in...

  16. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    insa replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    just curious: what's your

  17. So..You're going to be a MALE nurse?

    insa replied to mingez's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm still doing prerequisites and it hasn't come up much. I'm also a stay-at-home dad right now and I live overseas in an embassy community, where people are often highly educated and reasonably...

  18. Prereqs at a Community College

    insa replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking my prereqs at CC after checking with the admissions director at my target RN program that the credits will indeed transfer. I'm also taking my prereqs at CC because I'm living in South...

  19. Biol and Chem

    insa replied to bayarea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's doable. I'm doing it now. Unlike some other readers, I'm not in two courses that are designed to go together, but so far (yes, it's only week 2) I'm finding the overlap is valuable as mutual...
