    Naked?

    mvanz9999 replied to JBirdAngel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No offense to the OP or anyone else on the board, but if nudity is a huge problem, perhaps nursing is the wrong choice? This is the second post I've seen today about this. You most certainly will see...

    Post-graduate job success

    mvanz9999 replied to contessa54's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Excellent question. Please keep the responses to Direct Entry only. That would answer the question posed in another thread. I'm considering Direct Entry as

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not exactly sure where you are headed with this. Here's another study, Dept. Health and Human Services: Nurse Practitioners (NPs) included RNs prepared beyond initial nursing education in an NP...

    Recommendation for Personal Statement

    mvanz9999 replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Everyone's comments have been very helpful. I'm still very stuck and need someone that advises on these all the time. I've answered all the questions, and written down my thoughts, which leaves me...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How come every single thread about Advanced Practice Nurses ends up being an argument about PA vs. NP? There's a sticky for this. The focus of the thread is NP with little to no nursing experience....

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I really don't understand where people are getting these low figures of months to become an NP. If we're talking about Direct Entry (which is what I believe NP with no nursing experience entails),...

    Why are you choosing to become a nurse?

    mvanz9999 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You didn't really answer your own question: why you want to become a nurse. I'll take first stab at it. Currently I'm in IT and bored out of my mind. I wake up and basically do nothing all day....

    My former boss quit IT and moved out of state. I have no idea where he went. The boss before that just didn't like me and fired me. He would have nothing nice to say. LOL! Unfortunately I have...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In Chicago, there really isn't much of a difference between NPs and CNS. The recruiter told me that I would need "clinical" experience. Of any type. RN, NP, CNS, whatever. Their concern was with...

    Recommendation for Personal Statement

    mvanz9999 replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The Circumcision Discussion

    mvanz9999 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is the weakest "reason" for circumcision. If your husband has lost a leg in war or accident, would you also remove your childrens legs so they'd look the same? BWAAAAAH, HAAAAH, HAAAAAH!!!!! Why...
