    Forensic Nurses as Medical Examiners

    ImThatGuy replied to Artemis2.0's topic in Forensic

    In my state, coroners are an elected position. They require absolutely no training or diplomas even though they can declare people dead. They process paperwork for death certificates, can...

    Forensic Pathologist Assistant

    ImThatGuy replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in Forensic

    In most places the position you're talking about could probably be filled by a random person off the streets. There usually isn't a lot of funding for government positions of this sorts. But sure...

    Nursing Specialties leading to Nursing Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    ImThatGuy replied to SeanLN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How do you stay focused while reading?

    ImThatGuy replied to Thujone's topic in General Students

    I actually got my first degree without reading any textbooks. Sometimes I didn't even buy them. I ended up with a 3.45 GPA, and I was fine with it. A couple of years later, I took A&P I and II...

    Psych nursing or nursing home/rehab nursing?

    ImThatGuy replied to pezz9413's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd go with the psych job. Assessment skills, like any other, can be honed once again if they become dull. You won't "lose" them. I think it's silly when people bring that point up on here. Why...

    ImThatGuy replied to amjam's topic in General Students

    Actually, the upper level biology courses are harder than any nursing courses I've had. Throw in the chemistry and physics, and you've got a much more strenuous degree plan as a whole. That said, I...

    I can see myself only in an emergency department as an entry-level position. I don't like working with patients enough to see the same needy ones for long periods of time. Sure, I know some get hung...
