  1. Who knew that a med tech = MD

    kllyhlls replied to nursesaideBen's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Good attitude. Keep up the great work and ignore the med tech. I'm sure he/she is just very proud of passing the course. It is a bad situation though when someone thinks they are above...

  2. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

    kllyhlls replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would have to take out loans as well. Did Vandy's fin aid dept help you get all of it ready? I've been reading about the "alternative" loans, other than the 10,500-18,500 available through...

  3. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    kllyhlls replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    I think working as a PCA will make me a better nurse someday. I can guarantee I won't be one of those nurses that chase down someone to remove a bedpan. As far as technical jobs as a PCA I do the...

  4. The look!!!

    kllyhlls replied to CTRNTOBE's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ROFL!! Only in the male nurse forum. Funny. I have a BS in Business Management and start my accelerated BSN program next month. I might go that route too after a while, but for now I'm more...

  5. NP's having to get a PhD

    kllyhlls replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, not a PhD.. a clinical doctorate. Funny though, I don't think they've even decided on a name for it yet. Doctor of Nursing Practice, Clinical Nurse Doctorate?? WHAT? lol I personally don't...

  6. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

    kllyhlls replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I personally would LOVE to go to the vandy MSN bridge program. How the HECK do you come up with $30k/year to attend. If I could figure that out, I'd be applying instead of typing this.

  7. I want to become a CRNA

    kllyhlls replied to Mimi's nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My hospital accepts new RNs directly into ICU, but most of the RNs I've talked to that did this said they were scared @#$%less. I'm hoping I'll get lucky and have some great experienced ICU nurses to...

  8. FNP in the ER?

    kllyhlls posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I'm an undergrad student right now, but I'm interested in advanced practice. The two areas that interest me most are the Family Practice setting and the ER. I know the two are as different as...

  9. Tired question but I gotta ask about OB clinicals

    kllyhlls replied to ChadleyNC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've been ask to leave the room as well. It did feel like crap, but oh well. Don't be so stressed.. it's just 4 days.

  10. Wearing white

    kllyhlls replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital all PCA's have to wear dark teal. Nurses are required to wear white pants but can wear any top they want. The dietary, secretaries, etc. wear dk blue only. I think it works pretty...

  11. *Microbiology-Summer 2006*

    kllyhlls replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just got my book.. it's Ingraham. Hmm. Am I the only one with this book?

  12. Full Cost-of-Living Loans for BSN??

    kllyhlls posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know of information on loans to cover the cost of living? I can get a normal loan for enough to cover tuition, books, etc + a few thousand more, but I really need a loan that will help...

  13. Financial Aid Question

    kllyhlls replied to jbjints's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Financial aid will pay for all the classes as long as you're making the required progress toward your degree.

  14. Just starting...

    kllyhlls replied to teek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always use http://www.discovernursing.com to find nursing programs. Check it out.

  15. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    kllyhlls replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it's cool that there's a "male nurse" section on this board. We have a lot of issues that arise specifically because we're such a minority in the field. It's nice to have a place to discuss...

  16. *Microbiology-Summer 2006*

    kllyhlls replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    whew! Just got my grades. Everything's good... I was a little worried about Chem. Microbiology is officially my last pre-req to pass then nursing school in July!

  17. OMG I feel terrible

    kllyhlls replied to saskenn0910's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might be ok with A&P II first since you've already taken it once. Before the class starts, start studying the A&P I chapters on things like cell structure, muscle physiology, etc. Those...

  18. *Microbiology-Summer 2006*

    kllyhlls replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start Med Micro May 30th and end in July a few days after my nursing program starts. I got special permission to be a few days late on my pre-req. I'm not sure of my book yet, but I'll be around....

  19. Mother/Baby: They're all so d*mn healthy!

    kllyhlls replied to Terry USM's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Have you ever thought about moving to trauma? lol.. funny post and I love the ER reference.

  20. Having hard time with Pre-Reqs

    kllyhlls replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's tough bud, but keep your head up! I'm a 33yr old male and just finished a semester of A&PII, Chem, Nutrition, and Healthcare Statistics.. BY FAR my hardest semester EVER in college and I...

  21. How long did it take you to get accepted?

    kllyhlls replied to BP63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's ok Melcia.. I was in the IT field as a network administrator, systems analyst, tech manager, etc, for the past 10 years. At least you didn't wait that long to figure it

  22. FNP in the ER?

    kllyhlls replied to kllyhlls's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I posted in both places. I didn't mean to double post, but I wanted to see if I got different opinions from people with different backgrounds. Thanks to both of you for the replies, it really...

  23. DOCTORATE for Clinical Nurse Specialists?

    kllyhlls replied to VickyRN's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I read this a while ago. The way I read the information they are pushing for it because advanced degree nurses already do more clinical hours than anyone else with a master's degree. I also read a...

  24. Dating for Men in Nursing/Nursing School

    kllyhlls replied to Raymond CA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd have to say that my dating life has never been worse, but honestly, I don't notice that much. I honestly don't have time to date. I can't say that I mind being such a "minority" in class though....

  25. The look!!!

    kllyhlls replied to CTRNTOBE's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The main look I get is "shock". They wonder why I gave up a 10 year career in IT to be an RN (and hopefully NP) at the age of 33. Then the next look I get is when they realize the pay cut I'm going...
