1. Leaving the Inner-city-ER-guilt? Advice please..

   dfarr replied to RNAsh's topic in Emergency

   No need to feel guilty. If people aren't grateful for the care you give them, then screw them. Unfortunately a lot of the population that you serve have grown up getting "free" government care at no...

2. UAB info?

   dfarr replied to almostfearless's topic in Alabama Nursing

   Well suck up your pride and get on some medicine if you actually have it because nurses need to be able to focus. My roommate just got diagnosed and she said that nursing school was hard for her b/c...

3. UAB info?

   dfarr replied to almostfearless's topic in Alabama Nursing

   I think you have your schools backwards. You should use Jeff State as your fall back in case you don't get into UAB. People who don't get into UAB go to Jeff State. UAB's website has always been...

6. Jeff State or UAB

   dfarr replied to Monkie's topic in Alabama Nursing

   The nursing scholars program is just a program that gives UAB students an advantage to get into UAB's nursing school. I was a part of it. I believe that you have to have all your classes done at UAB...

7. No consideration for gay patients

   dfarr replied to eric2123's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Exactly what type of special considerations does a gay patient need? Seriously dude, stop being so sensitive. Gay patients don't deserve any...

8. Jeff State or UAB

   dfarr replied to Monkie's topic in Alabama Nursing

   Why would you even entertain going to Jeff State if you could go to UAB? The programs are the same length once you actually get into the SON at UAB, but you come out with a BSN instead of having to...

9. What is your choice?

   dfarr replied to The Dude's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I have just a regular Landau lab coat, but I rarely wear it. The only times that I do wear it is when I'm at a clinical that we don't wear our uniforms and have to be in professional dress. I have...

10. Taking the Big Step

    dfarr replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly, since you have a previous degree and lots of medical experience, nursing school won't be that difficult for you. I have a biochem degree and I worked in pathology for 3 years before...

11. Taking the Big Step

    dfarr replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Could you not work as a tech on a PRN basis, or work weekends? I'm willing to bet that the hospital would want to keep you in some form since you've been there 6 years already. I work weekends at a...

    I work in a bar Thursday-Saturday. Easy money and I can pay my bills. It has never interfered with school

13. RNICU at UAB

    dfarr replied to katehnur's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yes, they're building a women's & infants facility right next to University Hospital. Parking at UAB is a pain. When I worked at UAB I rode the shuttle from a lot which is like 2 miles from the...
