  1. I thought my Littman was broken until I decided to wear it backwards (with the ear pieces facing back instead of forward). The acoustics got better instantly. Is anyone here the same way? I have heard a lot of stories on this forum where people lose ...
  2. Hello, I was curious as to how important it is to maintain as close to a 4.0 as possible in Nursing school. I'm not suggesting or wondering whether its ok to slack off, but I feel like it'll be easier to learn the material not stressing out about hav...
  3. Male Nursing Students

    I understand what you guys are saying about the nursing shortage coming to fruition as the baby boomers get older...but where will the money come from to create these needed jobs? This kinda sounds similar to our social security situation in the futu...
  4. Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of media focusing on hatred of NPs? Here's a really recent one: Nurses Masquerading as Doctors FOXNews.com People can believe what they want to believe, but cycling through the comments of that story (a...
  5. Do doctors really yell at you, and get away with it?

    So with all these stories in this thread about nurses taking crap from docs...do these nurses just not stand up to the doctor? And by standing up I don't mean yell back of course, but just letting the doc know that their behavior is inexcusable and n...
  6. Deploying as a military RN

    As an RN, when you're deployed will you be in combat zones under the threat of fire or practicing healthcare away from combat zones and in bases/forts?
  7. Ages of male nursing students?

    Wow Pat! That's awesome that you're starting so young
  8. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    Wow thanks for all the feedback guys. When I first posted this question I was posting because I got a C- on my first pharmacology math test (I did get an A on the theory part tho). I had done something really stupid by forgetting to put my answers w...
  9. This is getting ridiculous!

    That's what I did during applications for the local universities around my area. I didn't go through the same trouble as you, but it seems (from the threads here), that all nursing programs lose paper work. Always hand deliver!

    clam what # are you? It seems that spots 1-6 are pretty solid based on past trends.
  11. Best Branch for Military Nursing?

    I've been entertaining the same thoughts Jennifer. Hopefully me hijacking your thread will yield some answers for you as well! I will get my MSN and FNP in 2013 and was wondering if the military branches would have need for FNPs? I am thinking they a...
  12. "NP's Are Smart Nurses" ????

    If all the attitudes of doctors, PAs, and patients on NPs reflect the posts on SDN...NPs would have been phased out or eliminated long ago. The stuff people post there about NPs is truly disheartening. However, you'll notice that most posts that rag ...
  13. Staying Thin at Work-Its a Problem

    Put yourself on an eating schedule. I eat every 3 to 4 hours in the day and that's helped me lose 36 lbs! Additionally, every time you are offered food you can just say that its not your eating time yet.
  14. Stressed out!..

    Hey brittany the science is very basic so just know the Ati stuff well and you will do fine. I used the mcgraw hill study book and the basic chemistry they covered was good enough and the physics just required knowing the basic equations and plugging...
  15. Ages of male nursing students?

    Hey thanks Romano! I know 25 is still young (although technically it is the year when our testosterone production reaches its peak I think)! I just wanna be a seasoned veteran by the time I'm in my mid 30s!
  16. Ages of male nursing students?

    I'll be 25 when I finally start. I feel like I'm losing time and want to get my career started and school done ASAP.
  17. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    Hey guys I dropped by the admissions office and asked about when the final spots would be notified. Unfortunately the staff there informed me that they are still going over acceptances and she was not sure when all the spots will be notified. :-(
  18. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    Hey sorry guys, I stopped by the admissions office today before going to work but was greeted by an empty room being renovated. I had to wait for a receptionist for a bit to find out where the new admissions building was but couldn't make it without ...
  19. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    I need to stop by the admissions office on campus today. I'll ask while I'm there.
  20. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    Who hoo! Another guy! I was hoping I could build some Bromance!
  21. I'm on the FNP track and was wondering for those who have been practicing for several years, do patients ever refuse to be seen by you for being an NP?
  22. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    Andrea I would love to do that if I didn't have work...and if I had a road bike. But if you've got a mountain bike as well, let's go hit up some trails in the future!
  23. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    Hey Pink duckie, any news yet on your status?
  24. 2010 Samuel Merritt Oakland ELMSN-FNP applicants?

    I think Actual classes start on august 30th with an orientation happening on the 20th.
  25. Have patients here ever refused service from you for being an NP?

    That wouldn't just necessarily be an NP and PA issue tho. You could say the same thing about a a rookie resident MD/DO. How about this...who would you trust more in the ER? An NP/PA with 7 years ER experience or a resident MD?
