  1. Totally Mortified - Super High Blood Pressure @ Nursing Physical

    StangGang92 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way. Whenever I try (keyword TRY) to donate blood I normally get turned away for too high of a pulse. Now, I'm only 18 and so my HR isn't naturally so spiked, but I start just thinking of...

  2. Where can I work in the med field?

    StangGang92 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can't get a job without certifications/training you should look for a receptionist job at a clinic of some sort. They tend to favor those who atleast are familar with the medical terms because...

  3. What type of used book do you prefer?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't gotten my booklist yet, but I'm just preparing so that when I do I can buy everything right away. I noticed on amazon there are differen't types of used books. Do you like to buy the "Like...

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry new grads, this is only a CNA interview. Sorry I couldn't provide some hope! Well, I have a PCT interview for a local hospitals ED and I'm pretty nervous. It's my first "job", I just graduated...

  5. Is working part time do-able with these classes?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know I posted a little while back about working while in school. Well, I want to re-evaluate the answers when I have a physical class list ahead of me. The job I'm looking at is a Pt care tech in...

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks guys! A little update, I have an interview at a local hospital for a PCT in the ED, so I'm fairly excited! They know that I'm a student, or atleast they should if they looked at the online app,...

    StangGang92 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey all! In the past several months or so I have been considering going on the path to becoming a CRNA, of course it's a long path since I'm just beginning my college path so things may change. All I...

  8. Which nursing school to choose?

    StangGang92 replied to Michi561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also keep in mind nearly 100% of private college students recieve financial aid (the free kind), I'm paying less than half tuition. You might end up paying $18,000, which is similar to the total cost...

  9. Any others with latex allergies out there?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have a confession to make. My name is StangGang92 and I suffer from latex allergies! Kinda ironic with being in health care isn't it? I thought facilities were getting rid of latex products,...

  11. Is anyone squeemish?

    StangGang92 replied to CNAkt's topic in General Students

    You will soon learn that it doesn't hurt you one bit when you give someone else a shot I saw that on Trauma Life in the ER when someone was being asked if they are nervous to give

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Students

    So, while I do love nursing and have no intention on changing my major, I've always known bedside nursing isn't enough for me. I've always planned on going on to get my NP or CRNA (after more...

  13. I feel like I'm "cheating" on nursing for asking this...

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    My intentions weren't to offend bedside nurses, those people are special people I think and they work their butts off day in and day out, and my hats are off to me. I don't exactly mean that it's not...

  14. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    StangGang92 replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    The aid via my college is indeed scholarships. Nothing to pay back at all. I think that's common with the private colleges. Most, if not all, of their students get financial assistance that doesn't...

  15. Magazine Subscriptions

    StangGang92 replied to strwbrryswrls's topic in General Students

    My parents got me a subscription to Nursing 2010. I'm only pre nursing right now, so a lot I don't understand, but I learn a lot from it. It's very interesting

  16. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    StangGang92 replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    While the actual tuition is $30,000+ at my college 100% of students recieve some sort of aid. My college expenses (tuition, books, room, and board) are going to cost about $17,000 from this colleges...

  18. Is working part time do-able with these classes?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well thank you! I think I'm going to just apply for it, I mean this hospital is 5 minutes from my college and there are 2 other colleges in town, so I'm sure they are familiar with nursing students...

  19. Is working part time do-able with these classes?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my high school bio I got 99.4%, but that is high school, not college. I don't have a need to work, which is what makes this somewhat difficult for me. I'm lucky and my parents are paying for...

  20. Maybe I should quit before I start...

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, I've just been getting extremely discouraged lately. I hear all the new grads who can't find a job and old nurses who put off retirement due to the economy. I really don't want to spend...

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I'm thinking maybe the new grads are being mildly over dramatic and its contagious and I've caught the over dramatic bug? I think I'll have a decent resume once I'm out of school. If I get the...

  23. Maybe I should quit before I start...

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, I want to do it all! It's frustrating really. I've job shadowed nearly all of them and I was interested in each one. I figured nursing was a good path because I have so many options in...

  24. NP Jobs?? help!

    StangGang92 replied to bethygean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm only a nursing student, but what I'd been advised is that if you want to go for an NP after you get your BSN is to work while going to school to get that 2 years experience under your belt. Just...

  25. IF you WEREN'Ta nurse, what would you be???

    StangGang92 replied to sjoy's topic in General Nursing

    If I hadn't fallen in love with nursing (And thankfully I did!) I would be pre-med or pre-denistry right now. I know, I didn't veer off the path too
