  1. Have you ever had a WORTHLESS clinical instructor?

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in General Students

    It's one thing for a single student to complain, but if every student out of 2 groups complains in addition to RN's on the floor, it's another. This is her first clinical, but sadly, I wouldn't feel...

  2. Low GPA looking into ABSN programs?

    forgop replied to ElephantNurse<3's topic in General Students

    You think a 3.4 is bad-for our local state school program here in Indianapolis, the cut off for their accelerated BSN program is between a 3.8 to 3.9. If you get anything less than an A in anything,...

  3. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    forgop replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I started volunteering a few hours/week at one of the major trauma hospitals as a nursing student looking for some additional exposure, contacts, and applying for a paid student position in October....

  4. Diversity

    forgop replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't care about the race of anyone I work with. I want to work with qualified people. Discrimination is wrong-no doubt about it. That said, in order to "not" discriminate, our schools and...

  5. White male in nursing, any scholarship options I need help BAD!!

    forgop replied to Kevinellis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't excuse anything that happened decades ago. However, equality over the past 50 years, hasn't really meant equal rights, but special rights. It's not like I haven't faced reverse...

  6. White male in nursing, any scholarship options I need help BAD!!

    forgop replied to Kevinellis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I say it because white males don't get anything unless it's strictly academic based. You want to compare the amount of scholarships awarded to white males with the "disadvantaged" and minorities?...

  7. White male in nursing, any scholarship options I need help BAD!!

    forgop replied to Kevinellis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    White males are going to get shafted for getting anything for free. I had a 15 yo pt in Peds one day tell his mother he was going to get a scholarship for college just because he was black.

  8. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    forgop replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am a nursing student and my clinical instructor told me about an RN at the hospital that has evidently had something published talking about the use of a stoma for this very reason. It sounded as...

    forgop replied to EmOgle27's topic in Indiana Nursing

    $41k for an ASN? Ouch. I thought the ~$48k at Marian for an accelerated BSN was

  10. Answer this question please...

    forgop posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How would you answer this question: A nurse is counseling an adolescent patient and her mother about preventing cervical cancer. The most important health promotion action the nurse could suggest is...

  11. Marian University-Online Accelerated Program

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You should also consider the fact that these instructors pay so little attention to detail that we get a recycled syllabus due dates from previous terms. There's no excuse for

  12. Marian University-Online Accelerated Program

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I wasn't aware that they only started the accelerated program on campus in the spring. Online begins spring/summer/fall. You'll get charged the same price for online vs. on campus. That's why I...

  13. Answer this question please...

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When she is no longer a minor child living in my home, my daughter is more than welcome to make that educated decision. This question pertained to an adolescent with a parent in the consultation, not...

  14. Answer this question please...

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The HPV vaccine in itself isn't what prevents cervical cancer. An HPV infection increases the risk for cancer, so my logic says by abstaining from sexual contact prevents an HPV infection before a...

  15. Marian University-Online Accelerated Program

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The OA program just graduated its 2nd class earlier in the month and I can't even tell you how many students were in that group. They boasted about a 100% first pass on the NCLEX for the first exam,...

  16. Marian University-Online Accelerated Program

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm in my 2nd semester. My complaint isn't about the difficulty as I expected nursing school to be difficult. My complaint is geared towards 2 instructors that have been retained from one cohort to...

  17. Men in L&D

    forgop posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm contemplating what fields I'd prefer and I think L&D would be one of them. I've been through the birth of my 3 kids and think it would be one of the more rewarding areas that I could think of...

  18. My case for MedTech

    forgop posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    First of all, I'm 35, husband/father to 3 kids and the "provider" for my stay-at-home wife. I lost my job in July due to the economy and job prospects in my field aren't the best and quite frankly, I...

  19. Attention Gaylord Focker...

    forgop posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Ok, I got your attention now and it's not a slam as I'm 32 and considering a career change into nursing. Did anyone else switch careers into nursing? I'm considering it because I've just hated the...

  20. Thinking about a career change

    forgop posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm going to see if I can get a work situation that will allow me to do the BSN route as I already have a bachelors/masters degree in another field. A couple of people suggested with my management...

  21. Thinking about a career change(LONG)

    forgop posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm going to be 33 in less than 2 weeks and have a bachelors and masters degree both in the aerospace field. My options in this field are very limited in my geographical area as my wife is pretty much...

  22. Thinking about a career change(LONG)

    forgop replied to forgop's topic in Nursing Career

    That's some good info to think about. The only problem is that there's absoultely no way my wife would consider a move out to California. While nice to visit, I don't think I could actually see...
