  1. Letter of reference from EMT job

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm probably going to be leaving my EMT job soon. My manager let me know he'd sign any letter of reference I gave him and would give me a good review over the phowone to anyone who called. It's up...

    algebra_demystified replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm planning on a multifaceted career. At the moment, I'm an EMT making my way through RN school. Among my plans are to get my paramedic cert, work on my Masters, and make FNP. I'll be moving to a...

  4. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

    algebra_demystified replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I like nursing. Spending a couple days in the NICU softened me up a little, and I found the experience beautiful. By nature I'm an angry guy. I have baggage. I spent a day feeding a preemie,...

  5. OB Rotation is Hell

    algebra_demystified replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think it should be optional. My career plans are going to take me to a sporificely populated area. Among my certs when I'm finally done with school (probably another six years) will be RN,...

  6. OB Rotation is Hell

    algebra_demystified replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just wanted to return to the thread with an update. I had a great day in L&D today. My nurse just about grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and shoved me in the pt's crotch and had me do the...

  7. OB Rotation is Hell

    algebra_demystified replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just finished my first day in Couplet Care today. Got the brush-off from the nurses there and ended up sitting in the hallway with my classmate, another guy. We took two BP's each and were told...

  8. OB Rotation is Hell

    algebra_demystified replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This topic has me a little hot under the collar. What if a patient didn't want to be treated by a black nurse? Could they say, Hey, I feel a little uncomfortable with that black chick here, can you...

  9. NP or MD?

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm working my way through RN school as an EMT. Yesterday, I posted outside a farmer's market in Los Angeles and ran into a booth where a woman was advertising Polish medical schools. I looked and...

  10. Potter & Perry Fundamentals of Nursing Study Guide

    algebra_demystified replied to xt1's topic in General Students

    The book is crap, and you need the study guide to get anywhere with it. You're not going to believe the amount of BS in that thing, there's no way to prioritize any of that nonsense. Get the study...

  11. Why do doctors get to play by different rules?

    algebra_demystified replied to asilmk's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to dress any way you want and have the hospital kiss your butt all the time, go to medical school and get your MD. There must be HUNDREDS of people that have done it, right here in the...

    A friend of mine told me about a new-grad RN program available in Cuba that had free tuition and room/board, that it was something like four months in duration, and that it was of course very...

  14. How competitive is it to get into a nursing school?

    algebra_demystified replied to sunnyday1's topic in Washington Nursing

    Here's my .02 on the matter. Every school is absolutely ridiculous to get into for one reason or another. Bottom line is they get tons of applications for a few spots and they have to have some way...

  15. Psyc. clinical

    algebra_demystified replied to LaxNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When I take pts to or pick them up from the psych unit I just love it. It's like going to the circus. I'm laughing right now about a dozen experiences that have gone through my head. And then there...

  16. Need male nursing slogans.

    algebra_demystified replied to Dynasty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    We've been cracking each other up at my school with a million different slogans. I can't even type them

  17. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    algebra_demystified replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Preferential admissions on the basis of gender is a bad idea. You end up with dumb male nurses and little tiny female firefighters and it's just ridiculous. If you can handle the work and make the...
