   pkohm replied to megykilo's topic in General Students

4. The Circumcision Discussion

   pkohm replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   i personally was not circumcised at birth and i wish my parents would have done so. I had my foreskin rip at about 18 years old, so i had to get a circumcision and let me tell you, it's not fun getting circumcised at 18 years old. Being this old i wa...

7. How many classmates have you lost?

   pkohm replied to GeauxNursing's topic in General Students

   Although i agree with this for the most part, you also have to remember than being a buisness they want to appear better. It's like a TV company making a cheap TV with bad color/short life. More people will buy it, but the brand will be remembered fo...

9. Nursing shortage: A myth?

   pkohm replied to blacksea pebble's topic in General Nursing

   Alright so both my points made in my first post were correct lol... People quit too soon/Don't use their license, and not enough space in nursing school. My school accepts 140 people a year (70 for summer, 70 for fall), which i thought was sort of lo...

11. Nursing shortage: A myth?

    pkohm replied to blacksea pebble's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand though, can someone help me understand this. How is it that it's hard to get into nursing school and yet there's a shortage? And it's not that it's hard in the sense that you have to do a lot of work to get in (which i guess u...

12. This is how it really is for this new CRNA

    pkohm replied to CRNA2007's topic in CRNA

    As amazing as that is Pay/Benefit wise... I just personally don't know how i'd feel about "rural Iowa" lol.. Not meant as an insult or anything, i know a lot of people like small towns. but i think there are too many people out there that don't which...

    pkohm replied to Ack_RN's topic in Florida

    I got to Florida International University, we have a pretty good program (little unknown i guess), But it's becoming better and better each year. We just recently got a bunch of funds thrown at the nursing school (we're the number 1 PHD granting inst...

15. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    pkohm replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow some of these stories are rediculous... I really hope i don't have to deal with this on too regular of a basis when i start... I mean the patient stuff is definetly expected... but things such as letting someone hit you in the face or get in trou...
