  1. Pre-Requisite Challenging Classes

    d!gger replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ask people who are taking the class at the school you'll be attending. They can give you the most accurate, up to date information - both objective and subjective. They have MUCH better answers than...

  2. question for the guys

    d!gger replied to jackson145's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Some people are shy. Some aren't. Come right out and ask them. As long as there's mutual consent and respect, you're off to a good start. Besides, you're eventually gonna have to ask the exact...

    d!gger replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

  4. How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    d!gger replied to Idaho Murse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    d!gger replied to pedicurn's topic in Emergency

  7. Oh tell me this is wrong!!

    d!gger replied to Fancy Face's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Almost finished and want to quit

    d!gger replied to misplaced1's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't have said it better myself callieotter3! You don't have to work in a hospital. With your RN, you can pursue jobs that need an RN's opinion and expertise - law firms, businesses that sells...

  9. Starting a website

    d!gger replied to TiddlywinksMom's topic in General Nursing

    You'd have to walk a fine line - the same line we walk when deciding say, how to talk to the family. Our profession has fought hard for every inch of the (significant) respect and credibility we...

  10. which areas of nursing have the least 'turnover' and advice to returning nurse

    d!gger replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    I work acute psyche. I love it. But I don't meet too many people who've been doing acute psyche on the floor for say >20 years. But many of my coworkers have been doing it for 5-10 years. I know...

  11. Nurses working harder than doctors?

    d!gger replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing
