  1. Dating classmates?

    AragornSkywalker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    AragornSkywalker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

  10. I fainted

    AragornSkywalker replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Update: my insurance actually covered most of it surprisingly. I am using united healthcare NSNA, and they covered it besides the 50$ co-pay and another 54$ for some reason. 104$ for a 650$ bill is a...

  15. What stereotypes should I expect?

    AragornSkywalker replied to vhinrich's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Insanely rich, handsome, and possibly possessing god-like powers. Havn't you heard that male nurses are the Chuck Norrises of

    AragornSkywalker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I bought 4 cases of Zoes for clinicals the previous semester, and they were generally great. Unfortunately they are OSS at amazon and havnt been in stock for months. What would be a good alternative...

    AragornSkywalker replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    During my first semester, I got to eat lunch like 3x during clinicals. The rest of the time, I was in the computer lab charting while munching down a power bar. Its convenient and I can put a bunch in...
