  1. unpaid speeding ticket = suspendended drivers license = nursing over??? please help!!

    belgarion replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas, minor traffic offenses don't have to be reported to the BON. However, you may get fined twice. The first time is when you pay for the ticket. The second time is a couple of years later...

  2. Have any males experienced what I am feeling now being in nursing school?

    belgarion replied to lum917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The first time I considered nursing was when I graduated from H.S. I went to the local university and talked to the head of the nursing program there. She made it very clear that she did not like...

  3. Night Shift

    belgarion replied to newmale2nursing's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I spent a lot of years working a rotating shift. 12 hrs, 3 months days than 3 months nights. The company thinking was that if everyone had to do nights then they didn't have to pay a shift...

  4. A man in a seemingly female driven career

    belgarion replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I haven't run into that much opposition except for the occasional female patient who doesn't want a man doing personal care on her. I did recently receive a catalog from a nurses supply company....

  5. Welp, was discriminated against; ps I didn't like it

    belgarion replied to PeaceKeepr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One of my instructors told me that many times it isn't the women giving birth who object to male nurses. They are a little bit busy. In a lot of cases it is the husbands who throw the fit. I guess...

  6. job?

    belgarion replied to scotch's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Graduating in less than 2 weeks. I went and took a pre-employment drug screen last week. Assuming the many caffeine loaded drinks I consume during the day don't knock me out, I will be ready to...

  7. question about school/license

    belgarion replied to DiabeticGirl18's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I go to Vernon College. The full time program takes a year with new classes starting every August and January. The part time evening program takes 18 months. I think the time it takes to get all of...

  8. question about school/license

    belgarion replied to DiabeticGirl18's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I will be graduating in a couple of weeks from a school in Texas. The part time class graduated the first week of July. There are some members of that class who have already signed up to take their...

  9. LVN Hospital Jobs

    belgarion replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have a couple of relatives who are floor managers at two different LARGE hospitals. They have told me on several occasions that if they have two applicants for a RN position, one with a brand new...

  10. Cheating in the Classroom

    belgarion replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In my nursing classes if your cell phone goes off during a regular class you get a demerit. No excuses, no exceptions. If it goes off during a test it's even worse. I know. Mine went off one day....

  11. are there any male lpn students here?

    belgarion replied to mikehammerly's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't try to memorize every little detail or you'll give yourself a brain hemorrhage. I always studied with the goal of recognizing things when I saw them on the test. It must have worked as I have...

  12. homehealth nurse in heels & scrubs while working!?

    belgarion replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    There was a male HH wound care nurse in town a few years ago. He wore cowboy boots with full riding heels on them. He was also one of the best wound care nurses around. Of course, this is

  13. Nightingale Pledge and Nursing hats at pinning ceremony....

    belgarion replied to Tony1790's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You get graded on how well you memorize a pledge???!!!??? After reading these posts, I may have to take back all the comments I've made about goofy policies where I'm about to graduate

  14. Do you think this was rude?

    belgarion replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why does everyone assume there is always a fee? I graduated from high school 30 years ago and I can still get a transcript free. I also get free transcript service from the school where I got a BS...

  15. Test without any use?

    belgarion replied to DeLovely's topic in General Students

    I agree that this may be for ATI stuff. We have to do that where I am enrolled. It takes up a whole lot of time that could be better spent , we don't get any credit for the tests, and the study...

  16. LVNs or RNs - Who is most helpful to students during clinicals?

    belgarion posted a topic in General Students

    This may be risky but I have a question. I am an LVN student and I have noticed that the RNs at the hospital where we do most of our clinicals are by and large very good to students. They seem eager...

  19. Test without any use?

    belgarion replied to DeLovely's topic in General Students

    $266??? I paid $40 a little over a year ago and thought that was too much. I already had a four year degree and couldn't believe that I had to take a test on the basics to show I was capable of...

    belgarion replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    At my school we have two different unisex uniforms; one for guys, one for girls and never the twain shall meet. They are Royal Blue and we look like a bunch of Smurfs with white shoes. We also have a...
