  1. How do you wear your hair???

    richardjboro1 replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    take a razor, put the guard at 1 or 1.5 and it's just SOOO easy to keep it off your collar. That's how I do it. But what do I know. I'm a guy... hahah.

  2. I'm thinking of Joining the Navy as a Nurse... ?

    richardjboro1 replied to Wheaties's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to know that also, re: 100k bonuses... on navy.com, they're currently showing 25k for RN and or 34k for students going to school. I'm more familiar with the Army way, since I've met with an...

    what an interesting topic. Keep this going, I'd love to read more about all the "other" jobs I've not really thought about. Thanks!

  6. Ridiculous BSN rules in southern california?

    richardjboro1 replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think most patients would prefer students to do as well as they can in pre-reqs as well as nursing school, so maybe we should look at it from their side. If one can only get C's, then perhaps...

  7. Helpful Tips for the Nurse Traveler

    richardjboro1 replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in Travel

    Can you experienced folks give us an idea of questions to ask the recruiter, because from what I've read on here, it's also important that the recruiter be willing to go the extra mile for you. Great...

  8. My California CDC experiences thus far.

    richardjboro1 replied to EnigmaticParadigm's topic in Correctional

    fascinating discussion thus far. I'm a nursing student and interested in all critical areas, such as ER/ICU, but haven't really considered prisons until recently. The pay does sound tempting but the...

  9. Becoming An Rn Online....!!!!!!!!

    richardjboro1 replied to FutureRN_05's topic in General Nursing

    There are really no ways to get out of the clinical component of nursing school at least that I'm aware of. If you find one, let me know.. haha. Most of the online courses are for associate degree...

  10. Teacher to nurse

    richardjboro1 replied to maggijo's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm also a 2nd degree teacher to nursing person. I taught for 6 yrs in music education in two states and figured out I was making around.... $2 an hour since I was on salary. The stress and time was...

  11. Has Anyone Heard Of Union University In Jackson Tn And Germantown Tn??

    richardjboro1 replied to soon2bnurse1's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I looked in to Union in Jackson, and they have an accelerated BSN program also, but it was extremely intense and quite expensive. Good luck with your search.

  12. what is the major differences between an md and a nurse practitioner?

    richardjboro1 replied to iamcool's topic in General Nursing

    I'll have to take issue with the above post about autonomy. NP's can and do have solo practices in several states that I'm aware of. Also, NP's can prescribe and can even bill medicare for their...

  13. Weird question @ nursing school: assessments

    richardjboro1 replied to neenja's topic in General Students

    No stripping here either. We had some pretty cool genital and breast models, as well as full on mannequins to practice cathing etc. We did do the shorts and t shirt thing for listening to...

  14. Which branch is better for nursing?

    richardjboro1 replied to M3olatomiwa's topic in Government, Military

    Anyway, I still have an unanswered question -should I join as an officer midway through the post-bacc. accelerated BSN program or wait until finished and then offer myself? Will a recruiter honestly...

  15. Which branch is better for nursing?

    richardjboro1 replied to M3olatomiwa's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to add my 2 cents to the question on "mobility" by the scientist above. I'd have to think that the Army would be as mobile if not MORE mobile than the Navy. My family went all over US,...

  16. First time in "my own" room...

    richardjboro1 replied to brewerpaul's topic in Operating Room

    congrats.

  17. Nusing School Or College First??

    richardjboro1 replied to Mickie1116's topic in Pediatric

    Most nursing schools are at colleges, especially if you are wanting to get an NP or nurse practicioner. I would recommend doing pre-reqs at a community college or state college and also trying to...

  18. Salary question??

    richardjboro1 replied to maggijo's topic in Nursing Career

    Can you give some cities I should look into? I've always thought CA would be fun. Are living expenses very high centrally? I'd like to be "close" to the beach and/or a large city but not IN it if...

  19. NS does not teach ADL's

    richardjboro1 replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    why does one need to be "taught" how to do normal things you've done since you were born? I mean, seriously, a little "here's the linens, now change the bed "our way"" and that's it. Good grief...

  20. Do you think it is too late to go into nursing?

    richardjboro1 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me add my comments to this. I agree that either way you'll be 40 in a couple years. I'll be 38 when I graduate from NS in two lonnnnnnnnnnnng years. I feel it's Totally worth it.

  21. Dumb question

    richardjboro1 replied to Nadia24's topic in General Nursing

    You apply for reciprocity I believe. No additional testing required that I'm aware of (from the mouth of a jr nursing student). Have a great

  24. How is it REALLY to be a Male Nurse?

    richardjboro1 replied to Riverhopper's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hello, If you make 75K a MONTH???? then I'd say nursing isn't for you. If you mean 75K a year, then yes go ahead. But don't do it for the money. Money is great, but no amount can keep you going if...

  25. How many hours do you study each day?

    richardjboro1 replied to olufemi254's topic in General Students

    I rarely study every day, (junior bsn student). But, I run a study group and we meet mostly weekly. When we meet, we study around 2-5 hrs, depending whether we have a test or not. I'm not sure why...
