  2. Love nursing, hate the hospital setting!

    DDD replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You took the words right out of my mouth. They most often lack patience, hold one another in contempt, and act as if they were not once in your place. Oh yeah, I also come home hating clinicals...

  4. Appropriate Debt for Nursing School

    DDD replied to OCstudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

  5. Appropriate Debt for Nursing School

    DDD replied to OCstudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    DDD replied to debsuztx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    DDD replied to ShellGVSU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Finally, 15,000 years after the dawn of civilization, we've eradicated bigotry and sexism. If you believe that, I've got a brigde in Brooklyn for sale, real cheap...interested? How do you know he...

  8. I can't find a job!!!!! AHAHHA

    DDD replied to ShellGVSU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How do you know it isn't a male issue? Where you there when they looked over the application? Do you know the hiring manager? As every person is unique, so is every situation...including the hiring...

  9. Smoking and Nursing, coping with stressors?

    DDD replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm a hypnotist. If you live in KC, I could help you. A hypnotist can also teach you self hypnosis and other relaxation techniques to calm you in those stressful times. If you see one, don't...

  15. Nursing Student Divorce Rate?

    DDD replied to ibmaryann's topic in General Students

    I'm just going to say it like it is... Don't listen to the cry babies. 50/50 divorce rate? Really. So they have the data at hand? Much Ado About Nothing. The whole "Nursing School Causes Divorce" can...

  16. Need some help!!!!!!

    DDD replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Karmyk, I didn't sense any "hate" from MBA2BRN. I understand how you don't want to let go of the investment you've made in your education to this point. When I graduated with my BA, even though I...

    DDD replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DDD replied to NXS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started a post answering this question. I know people who had 3.15 GPA's and were accepted (ADN). Maybe even lower. If it doesn't, take the courses you did poorly in over again. Most...

    DDD replied to debsuztx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is my biggest worry. Please let us know how it turns out for you. I'd love to hear a daily progress report. I was never able to find work when I graduated the first time with my BA in...

  20. This is what I was meant to do!

    DDD replied to maureenlynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I don't know you and your character, I can't really say, with honesty, that you will or will not make it. I can, however, say that, as it appears to me, if a relatively intelligent person with...

    DDD replied to kcmo06's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Research, having a program run by the hospital, might be fine. I can only speak of UMKC and me and my families experiences there. Jimtem said he's never heard anything bad about this school...well...

    DDD replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is more American than the free market (not considering the pros or cons...though I tend to not trust the "self correcting mechanism" it suggest)? So, likewise, what could be more American than...
