  3. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    RunninDad replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

  4. All electronics banned?

    RunninDad replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I think the point that was tying to be made was that as a nurse (which has more importance than taking a test to be a nurse, imo) you're not going to have a quiet environment to practice in often,...

    RunninDad replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

  6. All electronics banned?

    RunninDad replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    My thing is I just simply don't have or see a use for it, for myself. My wife has one and loves it. It's just not my cup of tea. It was hard enough for me to start texting people.. I'd still rather...

  7. Have anxiety issues over making friends

    RunninDad replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    With the amount of work you're about to have, I wouldn't be going out of my way to look for friends. Make friends when you have your degree an are working =D But in all honesty, study groups will be...

    RunninDad replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

  10. Anatomy........Anatomy.........Anatomy.........Adv ice, please? :)

    RunninDad replied to ruddergrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

    RunninDad replied to fosdog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I personally feel that anything passed 30 is too old for children. That's MY life decision though, if other people have different feelings or goals then fine with me. :) I was just offering her...

    RunninDad replied to fosdog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't read any replies aside from the Op so if I am repeating things I apologize. I am speaking strictly from personal experience. As a father/husband, I would advise waiting until AFTER you...

  18. Experiences with being an Alternate for Admission?

    RunninDad replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    I guess that entirely depends on what the school in question requires. Of the schools that I looked in to that ran an alternate list, it was a first come first serve basis. Those who submitted their...

  19. Experiences with being an Alternate for Admission?

    RunninDad replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    I was recently 24 on an alternate list of 26. I had all the pre-reqs taken care of as well as all the non nursing courses involved in the program (such as nutrition/AP2/micro/etc). I took the...

  20. Is an MSN - CNL a good place to start my nursing career!

    RunninDad replied to PMG42177's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ADN program is the only program available to me. The only BSN program in the area requires you to more or less have a 3.8 or higher gpa because the competition for a class seat is so fierce. We have 1...

  24. "Big Money"

    RunninDad replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're exactly right. Nurses should be compensated for their services appropriately. In Pensacola, Florida there are 3 hospitals - Baptist, Sacred Heart, and West Florida Regional Medical Center. All...

  25. Anatomy is pretty darn hard.

    RunninDad replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I'd say anatomy is the hardest subject. I didn't study that much when I was taking it, and had a B+. The body is a machine, so just think of it as a machine like a car or computer, and it...
