  1. head-to-toe

    Scrubz replied to Medsport's topic in General Students

    It's good to know how to do a complete physical assessment, but the funny thing is I've never met a nurse who's had to do the whole thing start to finish... Not any nurses at the hospital I work at...

  2. How Much A&p Will I Have To Remeber?

    Scrubz replied to MISS_TCM's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse yet but I don't think we'll have to know everything they taught us out of those text books, however, anatomy and physiology is interesting to me, so I enjoyed studying it. If you've...

  3. Anyone considering doing their Masters.. and in what/why?

    Scrubz replied to X-treme's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've got my sights set on CRNA. I'm only in my second semester of nursing school and I have 5 semesters left, including this one, plus a couple summer classes, before I have my BSN. So I've got...

  4. School uniforms.. ugh..

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    I like the bonfire idea after graduation.... Because there is no way I'll want to keep it. Unless my parents want it for something, because they're sentimental like

  5. Np Question Pay!!!

    Scrubz replied to Hawaii2LasVegas's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, you must really like

  6. What kind of study area do you have/use???

    Scrubz replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    A lot of the times I drive to my school's library... There's a classroom downstairs that's almost always empty and I have it to myself. It's like a 20 seat classroom all to myself. Very quiet. Or I...

  7. Does everyone feel overwhelmed when they start nursing school?

    Scrubz replied to tsmith9031's topic in General Students

    Just work hard and stay consistant. I worked too hard in the beginning and burned out shortly after for the rest of the semester. I made B's, but I could have made A's. Be consistant! Oh, and study...

  8. What is your passing percentile?

    Scrubz replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure that 77% is the lowest you can make in our school. I'm in an ADN program and out of 28 original students there are now 26. One woman dropped out because her husband got really sick...

  9. I'm the only guy in my nursing class now...

    Scrubz posted a topic in General Students

    I just found out through the grapevine that I'm the only guy left in my nursing class. We only started out with two, but the other guy dropped out because he failed clinicals and our dean of nursing...

  10. School uniforms.. ugh..

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    I don't know why we can't just wear a solid scrub set with the main color of our school. Yeah, we look professional to some people, but to a lot of people we look like doofs. Plus I feel like a doof...

  11. I'm the only guy in my nursing class now...

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    Well, your class had 65 girls and lost 15, and 15 males and lost 6. So you've got about 75% of the girls left and 60% of the guys left (roughly). So percentage wise there isn't a ton of difference;...

  12. What was your first clinical experience like? Any suggestions on how to handle it?

    Scrubz replied to LuvaBSNRN's topic in General Students

    Last semester was my first semester of nursing and in fundamentals we did our clinicals at a local nursing home. Luckily I had already became familiar with the facility because I did my CNA clinicals...

  13. How many people thought A & P was easy?

    Scrubz replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take AP2 but it was stupid because the year before I had taken an anatomy class and physiology class separatly, and those were hard. On top of that I had an inorganic chemistry class and an...

  14. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    Scrubz replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That would have been mean but I would have laughed if I'd been there. I know I'll be good at whatever I do and I know that most people will respect that. Hey, we men have to break this stupid...

  15. How many guys in your class?

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Out of the two men in my nursing class I honestly wish the best for the other guy but I can't help but think it might be cool if he left leaving me the only guy to graduate the program... Since it's...

  16. my recent experience working with a nurse (male)

    Scrubz replied to jov's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is just one of those things we'll have to deal with as male nurses. Some women don't mind having a male nurse, and I know there isn't any difference between male and female nurses aside form...

  17. CNA Help.....

    Scrubz replied to AricaE8707's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work at a hospital as a CNA right now and my job duties have pretty much been sumed up from the last few posts. It's true that CNA's do a lot of the "dirty" work, but it's not like the "dirty"...

  18. How many guys in your class?

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What I said had nothing to do with age or anything like that. The other guy either failed our nursing fundamentals theory class or the lab part and will have to wait until next year to retake the...

  19. Advantages/Disadvantages being a male in nursing

    Scrubz replied to wannabFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, I'd say males might have some sort of edge... I mean, if a hospital had a ton of female RNs don't you think they might "want" to hire some men to somewhat even it out? Just a thought.....

  20. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    Scrubz replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My family and friends support me, and that's all that matters to me. Nursing is a great field to get into regardless of gender. Some of the coolest nurses at the hospital I work at are male. And...

  21. How many years did it take you to complete your BSN?

    Scrubz replied to marlonspoon's topic in General Students

    Right now I'm in an ADN program. I just finished my first semester and I have three more left to go. I already had two years of school before I started nursing; one year of gen. ed. classes and one...

  22. BLS certification

    Scrubz replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in General Students

    So does anyone think it would be worth while to go ahead and get BLS certified even if you're already CPR certified? Is it worth

  23. Made a mistake last night.

    Scrubz replied to ejmonroe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We all learn from our mistakes. But you gave the guy an apple when he had a feeding tube in? I've always said that if you can't take verbal assults then you'll have a tougher time being a nurse....

  24. CNA to patient ratio

    Scrubz replied to southwest's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I usually work a Med/Surg (Geri) wing and float Peds. The Med/Surg wing holds 24 beds and the Peds holds 9, so that's 33 total and although you rarely see all beds full they'd still only have 2 aides...
