    Is it easier for men to get into a nursing program?

    itsnowornever replied to erv1994's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You will never see a successful suit regarding this due to the need to prove what a panel was THINKING. Impossible unless you can get memos and emails stating such or a rat willing to testify. I fully...

    Is this cheating?

    itsnowornever replied to BCurtis's topic in General Students

    I always refused to talk about tests to another class. If I did, man you better believe I scared the pants off of them! LOL! I told them it was so hard, I didn't know any of the answers, I dont even...

    West Coast Uni Pre-reqs?

    itsnowornever replied to MusicEMT's topic in California Nursing

    Actually they did. I think I had to do less than a year of their pre-reqs, but I didn't have that many for them to take and I did test out of some of the classes (that's a great

    West Coast Uni Pre-reqs?

    itsnowornever replied to MusicEMT's topic in California Nursing

    As they shouldn't. No one knows better than the person that does the job. I just graduated from west coast and less than a month after NCLEX I have a job. Great school, awesome instructors. Good

    how many calories do you think nursing burns up?

    itsnowornever replied to SNB1014's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Actually, it doesn't sky rocket the burn, however the constant muscle use I similar to a weights workout. The calorie counter I use directly measures the sweat and whatever else comes out when your...

    how many calories do you think nursing burns up?

    itsnowornever replied to SNB1014's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I wore a calorie burner to clinical a few times, and busy days, by 7pm I had burned almost 3000 calories. On slow days, well, that was closer to

    I had people like that. Know what I did? Sent them a really rough draft with basic scribbling instead of legit dx and lab info. Guess who didn't pass? They didn't. They learned though. I would even...

    What to do in family emergency situations?

    itsnowornever replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that happened! Could it be that she was just mad you were leaving? When you are feeling more together emotionally, you can always ask to establish a protocol for situations like this for...

    Nursing In My Blue Jeans

    itsnowornever replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    From the older movies I gather they wore white button down shirts, black bow tie and white slacks and shoes. That's all I got for ya though. But were there even male nurses? All the older shows (that...

    Nursing In My Blue Jeans

    itsnowornever replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the draws of nursing (before schooling and I figured out I actually liked the gig) was the scrubs. I was military prior to nursing and I LOVED my BDU/ACUs. I absolutely LOVED that my clothing...

    New BSN Grad- Help!

    itsnowornever replied to acl2006's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All sound advice. I wish all it took was 60-100 applications here! I've easily done 150 and I just got my license on Friday! Though I have only received about 5 "No thank you" emails. It is just...

    Considering an ADN over a BSN but already have a bachelors

    itsnowornever replied to heyitsryan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Aside from the A&P sort of pre-reqs I think they some how make a leap from BSinsomething to MSN. I think it really depends on the pre-reqs for your other degree. And focker---well, apparently you...

    Considering an ADN over a BSN but already have a bachelors

    itsnowornever replied to heyitsryan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First....I never understand why ADNs feel they are better prepared clinically? All hour requirements are the same. Technically, BSNs have a larger knowledge base due to patho classes they have to...

    Homecare Nursing Training compensation?!?!

    itsnowornever replied to Chapo84's topic in Home Health

    No need to be snobby. But really, what did you learn in school? Insulin is one of the first thing we learned and did. You check the sugar, find the sliding scale, figure out when they need to eat or...
