    WorkinTheStreets replied to Med Succor's topic in General Students

    NET...I didn't study for it at all. I got the scores I needed on the first attempt. The math was equivalent to my daughter's 6th grade math homework. I personally thought the test was a joke for an...

  8. About the Net exam

    WorkinTheStreets replied to Love840207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't read too far into the questions. The questions are based on the text that you read...nothing more nothing less. It seems, to me anyway, that that is where you may be getting hung up. I agree...

  13. Predominately White Shoes....

    WorkinTheStreets replied to PsychiatricNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Unless you specifically need a lace up shoe, look at the Specialist. This shoe or some version of it, seems to be the most popular. At least by me

  14. Predominately White Shoes....

    WorkinTheStreets replied to PsychiatricNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    CROC's are fairly popular because they can be cleaned. Any fabric type shoe that gets contaminated with blood, urine, etc...probably can not be decontaminated and has to get tossed. It would be a...

  20. EMT becoming a nurse

    WorkinTheStreets replied to emtj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hypocaffeinemia and ohnoanothertest summarized it very well and I fully agree with what they posted. The biggest benefit I am finding being an EMT (EMS and SCTU) is that charge nurses (ER/ICUs) see...
