  6. Worst possible timing

    Gentleman_nurse replied to TerpGal02's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please take what I have to say in positive constructive manner. It is very noble you want to assist. But unless they give you the directive, stay out of it! Mind your own business. Focus on your...

  7. Not a real nurse huh?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to kkrlaa5512's topic in School

    Here is a test to see if you are a real nurse: 1. Did you go to nursing school? 2. Did you pass the NCLEX? 3. Do you have a nursing license? 4. Does the job require 1, 2, & 3? If you answer yes to...

  12. What is going on with the hatred toward Mid-levels

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm not a NP yet but I got so worked up about the article on another thread and other outlets that I let my emotions take over and wrote a rant to stick up for you...

  13. What is going on with the hatred toward Mid-levels

    Gentleman_nurse posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an aspiring NP. I have to ask all of the practicing NP's here. What's with all the mid-level (ML) hate? Toxic statements being put out by medical associations, talking heads and on certain...

  14. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Viral2010 I respect your point of view. What do you propose as a solution? As for physician supervision that's not a big deal, all doctors have someone to answer to: -Interns report to residents...

  16. Terminated from 1st job :(

    Gentleman_nurse replied to *Blessed2BaNRS*'s topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a shop steward. Feel bad for you. Sounds like they threw you to the wolves not because you made an errror but because your expendable as a probationary nurse. Right now I'm more...

  17. I have given Nursing my best is it not for me?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to chocolateskye's topic in Nursing Career

    You are very welcome chocolateskye. As I said I lost a few jobs because of workplace politics. A union rep schooled me on how to handle them. I pass my wisdom to

    Gentleman_nurse replied to chocolateskye's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey chocolateskye: I'm not a nurse yet but I've lost a job or two over time. It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong per se. Every job has the official rules and the unofficial rules. Sounds like...

  19. NCC student wanting to transfer to Farmingdale for AS Nursing

    Gentleman_nurse replied to amandaxox's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't go based of what you hear. Get a copy of your transcript and admissions rep at farmingdale. The prereq is A&P, english, and Intro psych. Your should be good as long as your grade are...

  20. Farmingdale State College

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Laur310's topic in New York Nursing

    If farmingdale is where you want to then all hope is not lost. As the last poster said, people change their mind. I do suggest trying to not out any other non courses you may need like psych or...

  21. RN as 68W or 4NOX1 in reserves? Would this be crazy?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to NSJodi's topic in Government, Military

    Used to be a 4N0 many moons ago. It's a step back if you're already an RN. You would be in a CNA-LPN role and wouldn't be allowed officially to use your RN skills. If you want to do it for the...

  22. Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    Gentleman_nurse replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    I suggest getting your LPN. You have the knowledge so it will be a less steep learning curve. Then pursue a LPN-RN bridge program. At that point, they'll be looking more at your certification and...

  23. Where to take Pre-Reqs?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to XyXyXyX's topic in New York Nursing

    I tried the CUNY route but could not get into any of the science classes. Go with SUNY Learning Network! Tuition is cheap. Applying and registration was a breeze. It's true you do have to be more...

  24. Bronx Community College

    Gentleman_nurse replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    The person you talked to was trying to be helpful but CUNY schools don't make accomodations for anyone. If anything they give you a double portion of red tape. Talk to someone in the nursing program...
