    Estimate of Clinical Hours in BSN Program

    ImThatGuy posted a topic in General Students

    So who has an idea of the clinical hours that may be involved in a BSN/RN program? I don't know a lot about this program other than it's new at my alma mater. I'll be returning starting this fall....

    Did you like critical care?

    ImThatGuy posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm about to finish my BSN (second bachelor's/career changer) program, and I'm being encouraged by faculty and preceptors to pursue the CRNA route. They say, "it fits you" whatever that means....

    Backing out of RN school

    ImThatGuy replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

    We know self-teaching is important to anything. However, when one forks over the dollars and sacrifices something else to return to school one generally expects to receive quite a bit of teaching...

    Backing out of RN school

    ImThatGuy replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

    It's sounds like a mirror image of my school. We did get "rationales" for our missed questions in what the instructors called "content review," but they never could explain any of it other than saying...

    ImThatGuy replied to mindlor's topic in General Students

    PreNursing Fears

    ImThatGuy replied to KarenCT's topic in General Students

    I got a bachelor's degree years ago, became a cop although I worked part-time several years ago as a paramedic, and then I went back for a second bachelor's degree in nursing. I was never worried...

    Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    ImThatGuy replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    Enjoy your summer. Nurse classes will come soon enough and last entirely too long. There really isn't a huge need for anatomy. I can't think of an instance where intricate knowledge of anatomy was...

    Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    ImThatGuy replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    I did rotate with a school nurse (RN) in community health. She provided (never gave) quite a few medicines. Assisted some kids in checking their blood sugar and giving insulin, i.e. she got the kits...

    You're really getting worked up by this, aren't

    I got what everyone wanted and now, I'm unsure that "I" want it.

    ImThatGuy replied to mallory4's topic in General Students

    OP, I understand your predicament. I like biology and assumed nursing school would be more biologically and medically oriented than it its. If you're there to learn about physiology, pathophysiology,...

    Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    ImThatGuy replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    I'm not surprised. The underlying point is that an EMT basic is not given a wide array of medical knowlege, however, he is trained in specific medical and traumatic emergencies. That said, they...

    ImThatGuy replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    Yes, I have. Thanks! I'm "supposed" to start a master's program this fall to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The sad part is, at some point, I'll need 2,000 hours of clinical experience, which...

    Advice on Psych NP vs. Psychiatry MD/DO

    ImThatGuy replied to kris_10's topic in Psychiatric

    The thing about going to medical school with the intent of becoming a psychiatrist is that you don't have to become a psychiatrist. You'll finish your first two years of medical sciences and then move...

    ASN pursing BA in Health Science? Yay or Nay?

    ImThatGuy replied to smellyacres's topic in General Students

    You don't necessarily "need" a BSN to get a MSN. You'll just need a bachelor's degree and likely some added prereqs such as health assessment, for example. Most associate's programs don't include...

    all about Med-Surg

    ImThatGuy replied to RNnme3j's topic in General Students

    there's no hype. medical-surgical is merely a hodge podge of sick and surgically-oriented patients. the book chapters will be stuff like preop, intraop, postop, respiratory, cardiac, endocrine, and...

    ImThatGuy replied to AL1992's topic in Male Nursing Students
