    Corvette Guy replied to Noodles's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Where in Texas are you? I've seen a few black male nurses at Seton Medical Center [Austin] & Brooke Army Medical Center [san Antonio]. Mostly, asians & hispanics [males & females] are the...

  5. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    Corvette Guy replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, when gramatically appropriate gender neutral reference should be used all areas of life. I'm in favor of equal opportunity/equal reference in all walks of life. :flowersfo or :beer: ......

    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

  8. help! Are surgical techs and RNs the same??

    Corvette Guy replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

    Spyder, I do not appreciate your rudeness. ["If you could read."] BTW, the OR Mgr, and/or OR Director is the one that runs an OR Suite, not the Board runner of a particular shift. Another thing,...

  9. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    Corvette Guy replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, your instructors were way out of line in regard to an assignment that has students calling the hospital for info. When I was a nursing student we had to physically go to the floor & read...

  10. help! Are surgical techs and RNs the same??

    Corvette Guy replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

    Scrubs running a surgery center... huh? Name an OR Suite with a Mgr., or Director that is a CST, and not a BSN, or MSN. Nope, a nursing degree will always hold more weight in the OR Suite vs. a...

  11. Admission to CRNA Program

    Corvette Guy replied to Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lucy54, thanks for the reply. Yes, the specific CRNA program I've applied for has what is called a Conditional Acceptance for such cases as a GPA less than 3.0, or GRE score less than the minimum...

  12. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    Corvette Guy replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle No reason to get upset. I just thought it was odd you put such an emphasis on she the nurse, rather than just write the nurse. Have a nice day.

    Corvette Guy replied to solicitous86's topic in Government, Military

    OMG... you ask alot of questions, LOL. My youngest son is an Army ROTC Cadet at the University of Houston, Texas. He is not a nursing student, however I have met some of his fellow Cadets that are...

  15. what are the requirements for 91WM6?

    Corvette Guy replied to boyter's topic in Government, Military

    Seems odd to me the way this particular MEPS poorly treats prior service. What MOS did you end up with? 91W? A one year enlistment contract also sounds odd. Did you read that contract from top to...

  17. HELP! Should I give up!?

    Corvette Guy replied to blurrgurrl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to be rude. Yet, your unwillingness to disclosure of the "clinical situation" in your Thread here[at least the surface of the matter, rather than the nitty gritty details] makes your...

  18. help! Are surgical techs and RNs the same??

    Corvette Guy replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

    Yea, I definitely enjoy scrubbing-in. I get the strangest looks from the "new" Scrub techs whenever I scrub-in as the primary Scrub. Then, one of the "old time" Scrub Techs will inform them I was a...

    I'm from Texas, and live about 65 miles from USAR Unit [5501st USAH, FSH/San Antonio, TX]. This past summer I was at FT Lewis, WA for 3 weeks in support of Operation Warrior Forge. Army ROTC Cadets...
