Transgender_n_TN

I'm currently in a Nursing program here in Memphis, TN. But i'm considering transfering for reasons i've already discussed on the board. Does anyone have any information they can share with me on the U of M's nursing program?

Well, I don't know how many people have followed my thread on being a transgender nursing student. I have read all the responses and weighed out the most logical and prudent sounding advice. As suggested, I approached someone in Administration, who ...

I will say that I have been surprised by the outpouring of concern on here. It's simply amazing, even a few of my fellow classmates at school have approached me subtly to say they have been following my posts on here and my desire to transition. A ...

I know this may sound like a cop out, but I have decided to put living as a full time transgendered female on hold. I have come to the conclusion that what I'm doing will benefit me in the long run, and I can afford to wait. I desire to have my deg...

I remember when I was a STCC student preparing for the nursing program. I made an A in A&P I, B in A&P II and a B in Microbiology all of which I took in Summer. I had a 3.36 cummulative GPA and a 137 on the NLN. I didn't receive a letter ei...

For the record, I didn't think you had an issue with transgendered people. It doesn't bother me if people don't agree with what I have to say. I'm of the mind that mature adults engaging in intellectual discourse, can always amicably agree to disag...

Both are actually my top priorities right now. As far as surgery goes, I don't plan on having any major surgery while i'm in school. I use the word transition to describe the process. As I explained to someone else, most physicians who deal with tran...

Again, have you even heard me mention the word "discrimination" or speak of what rights I should or shouldn't have? I expressed the opinion that individuals should have the "right" to live as they see fit. The right to live as we see fit is a "natur...

I've also made the decision to transfer from Baptist, because it isn't the school for me. I will continue to attend school here, seeing that I scheduled to start clinicals Fall 09. I'm taking Patho, English Comp II, Health & Society and Biomedic...

I'm in Baptist NS right now, but i've come to the decision to transfer out of the program.

i was willing to wait until i finished school, but another transgender friend of mine brought up an interesting situation. i know everyone keeps saying people get names changes all the time, but do they also get gender changes all the time as well? ...

Darling, you have totally misconstrued the entire thread. This is not a "beat up the Christians" thread like I have seen in so many other places. I am speaking about MY experience with my current NS. Have you seen me make one desparaging remark abou...

Well, i've never been one for religion either. I've listened to too many lectures, sermons and condemnations on "deviant" lifestyles. I've also heard stories and experiences with men in established religion.

I start this response by saying thank you, to all the people who have expressed concern and regret. It's nice to see people who actually care about another person. To answer a few questions and concerns expressed in this thread: 1. I DO start my cl...

Hi, everyone. I finally decided to join the site. lol:yeah: I need some advice and help. I'm a 30 year old single male starting my transition to MTF transsexual. I was accepted to a BSN program and start my clinicals in Fall '09. And might have a p...

Well, I got a definitive answer to the question I asked of my school's administration. The answer was a negative. So I'll be transfering out of the program as soon as I can.

Hey guys and girls! I'm about to make a hard decicions: transfering out of Baptist Nursing program. I was given the answer I thought I would on transitioning while in NS: No. So i'm looking to transfer to the U of M, and probably start my clinicals ...

I have 15 hours right now, Health and Society, Critical Thinking, Biomedical Ethics, English Comp II, and Pathophysiology. But I think I might drop Critical Thinking since it's the only day class that I registered for, and I think taking 15 hours whi...

For myself and a few others, there is no desire to be tied down to any particular hospital or institution after completing NS. The sky is the limit...! My job will pay for 6 hours, at the U of M rate, for their full time employees as part of their t...

I don't know how many are still following this post, but I have some encouraging news. I finally got up enough courage to talk to someone in administration and the conversation was actually quite positive and upbeat. I was given to understand it is ...

Trust me, the HOBET is easier than the NLN any day. But you shouldn't have a problem with either one. Look at me, a person with no degrees and out of high school for more than 10 years. I took the NLN and did some last minute studying and managed t...

@LadyBug....you have to take Health Assessment and Intro to Professional Nursing the trimester/semester before you start your clinicals. There is no way around that. You can take other classes with those 2 but I wouldn't. lol I just finished with my...

LMBO....that's the same thing I said about STCC and the student loans. STCC is all grant and income based. When I first applied I was eligible for grants, but once I went full time on the job, that was no longer applicable.

Well, I worked before I decided to get into NS and will try to continue working even while i'm in NS. I understand that I will have to slack up on hours once I start clinicals, which I don't start until Fall 09. I look forward to that more than any...

Anasarca is extensive subcutaneous edema; an expression of a generalized edema. There is diffuse subcutaneous swelling which is cool to the touch and retains the imprint of a fingertip after pressure is released--hence 'pitting edema'. The principal ...
