  1. Family and PT reactions to male nurses

    ky_grl82 replied to Warrior504th's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was a patient of a male nurse when I was coming out of surgery when I was 17. I was waking up from the anestisia and this hottie male nurse was trying to wake me up by saying my name. In my...

  2. Could I enter RN school wth poor high school gpa?

    ky_grl82 replied to cyuc0001's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you can get in. You would start taking your pre-req classes so you can start building your GPA. I assume it is the same everywhere but the colleges here never take your high school GPA into...

    ky_grl82 replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    ky_grl82 replied to Blondemerlot's topic in General Nursing

    ky_grl82 replied to TexanJLN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The style of the Pooh top is definetly feminine, the print only (towards the bottom) could be used for males. However, I don't know of any man who walks around wearing Pooh but whatever floats your...

    ky_grl82 replied to miss_V's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that it works out for you to be in the program. That would be stressful to not know until last minute what to register for. Are you going to register for other gen. ed. classes and drop them if...

  14. Should I tell the hiring manager??

    ky_grl82 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I know I am in for a lot of shocks! lol I guess the no-peeing, no-eating, no-sitting down for 8 to 12 hour shifts would be first on the labor law's list, but guess not. Sad that the people taking...

  15. Should I tell the hiring manager??

    ky_grl82 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Tell her after you're hired. It may be a little to easy too discriminate against you for this and not get the job because of it, though obviously illegal. Side note: Aren't there laws mandiating that...

  18. How Many Letters Of Recommendation Do You Have?

    ky_grl82 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe get one letter of recommendation but ask others to be references. I have only ever given three on a resume. IMHO, the better the title of the reference, the more impressed your interviewer. I...
