    Womens interest in male nurses

    If you can't control yourself when you're elderly, after years of experience and practice, how can you be trusted to behave yourself when you're young? May I say, this is exactly the kind of attitude...

    Womens interest in male nurses

    I just want to point something out here. Please don't think I am scolding you, I am not. I absolutely do not take this personally or as some kind of sexist slight. My own opinion is that this sort of...

    Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    In pre-reqs, I probably studied 8-10 hours a week and carried a 4.0. I expect that to increase in NS, I expect it to double and then some, so I am expecting to study 20-30 or so hours a week (3-5...

    Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    Because that is how the law reads. It makes no distinction between healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals. The only qualifier is the fairly ambiguous idea that they give aid "to the...

    Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    I take it as a given that my REAL nursing education, though it may start in clinicals, won't really get going until I have my own license. Until then I want to get the best grades that I can. It's...
  10. Is there a difference? My school tends to call us student nurses, but we tend to call ourselves nursing students. The expressions seem to be interchangeable. "Student Nurse" seems to be a more...

    Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    I see that, but wouldn't a loose interpretation of "at the scene" mean that nobody really has to stop and that therefore nobody is really ever in danger of incurring the penalty? In which case I...

    Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    Yep, I read it. What's wrong with how I described it? It says that a person shall give aid according to their ability (and scope, it can be safely assumed) and that failing to do so can result in one...

    I am so sorry for bringing this up. You guys should be able to have a conversation about your school without me horning in with questions about

    Nursing Students or Student Nurses

    Yes, that's my thought. I am not a nurse (yet), and I feel odd being called one, even with the qualifying adjective of "student". I am definitely a student though, and in a nursing program, so...

    First of all, I am very sorry if I offended you. Clearly I have, and since I am not a student at Baker I really shouldn't have even gotten involved in this thread in the first place, so I am sorry for...

    I was thinking the something similar, NLN accreditation is superfluous if you are accredited through HLC or AACN-CCNE because you also run an MSN program (like UDM and OU). As I understand it, NLN...

    With all due respect (and I really am not here to bash Baker, as far as I know it is an excellent school and I have no idea why they lost their accreditation) it has a lot more to do with than...

    Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    Folks who say this sort of thing are usually students who are really struggling or who get A's easily. It's not a good strategy for those of us who consider nursing a calling worthy only of...

    Hollywood's Portrayal of Male Nurses?

    Until very recently, it was on discovery health evenings at 6. Reruns anyway. I don't know what they've done with it now. Such a great

    Yes, I've been enjoying that as well. It's like the Networkification of "Trauma: Life in the ER" (not that that is a bad
  24. Yep, and my advice is get the same instructor for lab as for lecture if possible. I know the material is the same, but's nice to have overlapping reference points. I had a different instructor for...

    SO, I had a scary situation: First lab practical in micro was pretty easy, I got a 97, the second one was the other day and I thought, based on my experience with the first practical, that I was...
