1. being discriminated against in clinicals

   Mitchell09 replied to s13a29's topic in Male Students

   I've never felt discriminated against by patients...although i do get a laugh when I'm asked if I'm the doc or training to be one and then get that puzzled look when I say I'm a nurse. Which I don't get at all because I see alot of female docs and th...

2. being discriminated against in clinicals

   Mitchell09 replied to s13a29's topic in Male Students

   I'm the only guy in a class of 20, all female instructors. I was in the Army reserves (never active duty) and was a supervisor at a Tyson processing plant for years so nursing school was an adjustment to say the least. I've never worked with or aroun...

3. Quick question for any CRNA/SRNA's

   Mitchell09 replied to Mitchell09's topic in CRNA

   Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus...besides the poor grades from the past my numbers should be competitive. For now I'm just concentrating on trying to be a great nurse, the rest will come later...and there's no limit on the number of time...

   Mitchell09 replied to Mitchell09's topic in CRNA

   LOL, I know...2 years minimum at Arkansas State and you also have to be CCRN certified. I'm getting there...slowly, but getting there. I was just wondering about the grades thing. When I got my BS in biology my grades were great for the first year, a...

   I'm about to finish my LPN and will get right into finishing the RN in the fall and would love to apply to Arkansas State's CRNA program after that but I only have a slight issue....my grades in my nursing courses are excellent, around a 3.8 and I'm ...

   We'll be starting clinicals November 3rd, first the nursing homes then after Christmas we'll be going to the hospitals. So far all we've done is lecture and lab every single day since mid August when the program started. I'm nervous about the clinica...

   It's not a disease Jack. Parkinsons is a disease. Cancer is a disease. Marijuana addiction is a bad case of a weak mind. Here's a couple articles if you're interested. Adverse effects of cannabis W Hall, N Solowij - LANCET-LONDON-, 1998 - ukcia.org ...

   Mitchell09 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Starting August 17th and it has been a long road getting here...I originally got my BS in biology and after sitting out a semester and figuring out that there wasn't a whole lot I could do besides teach or go back to school I went to the BSN program ...

   HA! I love it! Micheal Jackson?! The thread starts off about pot addiction and you bring out The Gloved One? This is too good...thanks for explaining ad hominem, I must have missed it in freshman logic. You win the interwebs, you are the champion. 20...

    Wow. Just wow...man, you need some friends, lol. I'm not about to put in the time it's obviously going to take to debate you on this. Hands down, you win by default. Marijuana is the devil....oh well, within five years states are going to be legalizi...

    Mitchell09 replied to perfecthairforever's topic in Recovery

    I'm not a nurse, I'm just a student...That being said I do have a BS in biology so I have a fairly strong grasp of science and I have no idea what you are talking about Jack. Hallucinations? Immuno supression? Toxic psychosis? DEATH? Are we talking a...

    Mitchell09 replied to perfecthairforever's topic in Recovery

    Not to discount anyone's experience with this but I just don't get it...I've smoked MJ on and off for 14 years, at times heavily for up to a year at a time and I have never had an issue with just sitting it down and walking away when I needed to. I w...
