    ImThatGuy replied to willowita's topic in General Students

    Should I go to Yale's CNM program?

    ImThatGuy replied to Nurse Alyssa's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'd say no. I'd never encourage anyone to attend a school like Yale. Names like that equal "expensive." I don't think college is worth that cost personally. Old State U., on the other hand, is a...

    Senoritis.

    ImThatGuy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I'm in law enforcement. The reason I went to NS last August was that it'd be a "relatively" quick change with a salary similar to what I was used to in the job I left. I then moved, went back to...

    ImThatGuy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Where do you sit in lecture

    ImThatGuy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I sit in the back - always the back. I try not to sit with my back immediately to the door also. I want to be able to leave quickly, but I want to be able to see anything that comes through the door...

    It's probably best to avoid running then if you have some type of joint/nerve issue. However, your posture, running shoes, and running surface could play apart in

    Associates RN vs BSN

    ImThatGuy replied to derekfitness's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems like the BSN is a better fit for a career-growth type of position. However, if you're just in a hurry to start working the ADN would probably serve you better. You could then work while...

    In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    ImThatGuy replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    Frankly, I think being a male is nothing but a stepstone. Due to the small numbers of us the teachers learn our names and remember our names. Even teachers I haven't had know my name. Once they...
