    is there anything better to say then it's not your fault

    ImThatGuy replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    ImThatGuy replied to KimNB87's topic in General Students

    You should probably expect to receive the minimum training necessary to go to work as a safe, entry-level employee in a nursing home or medical/surgical setting. I don't know if that's how you'd want...

    ImThatGuy replied to IntelCorei72600k's topic in General Students

    Physical fitness is important for everything: wellness, job, hobbies, self-esteem, relationships, sex, you name it. By the way, you don't have to be athletic to be healthy. Watch what you eat....

    white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    ImThatGuy replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Second Career?

    ImThatGuy replied to Leaving the Law's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is why I'm glad I never went to law school despite being encouraged to. I've yet to meet anyone who really enjoyed it. I'm a career changer too (maybe). I'm in law enforcement. We're on hiatus...

    ImThatGuy replied to madewithlove's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    old movie

    ImThatGuy replied to NNP-2018's topic in Psychiatric

    There are a lot of old movies that depict psychiatric treatment and the perceived creepiness of it. One of my favorites is Captain Newman, M.D. with Gregory Peck. There are so many out there...

    ImThatGuy replied to zoey88's topic in General Students

    For rotations, I don't try adjust. One day per week for nine weeks wasn't that big of a deal. I'd just feel like **** when I got up that morning, but that's life. Now, if you were trying to adjust...

    Should I Continue Nursing School?

    ImThatGuy replied to gorgeousngreen's topic in General Students

    I'm a career changer of sorts as well, and this BSN is my second bachelor's also. I miss my previous career although I still do it in a way. I guess what I miss most is the position and salary that...

    Why is Psych NP not as popular of a choice?

    ImThatGuy replied to rd290's topic in Psychiatric

    Wherever there's a shortage of psychiatrists (and that's a seldomly chosen residency for medical school graduates) the psych NP could become a productive business person. I think the psych NP pathway...
