    Obstetrics Clinicals SCARE me so much im considering dropping out :(

    ImThatGuy replied to canadiandude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I was the same way and not too interested in learning about obstetrical care, but I got through it. They turned out to be perhaps the easiest clinicals. The teacher knew I wasn't into it and never...

    Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    ImThatGuy replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    I feel what you're saying, OP. I'm in the same boat...sort of. I thought I was going to make a career change when I got into nursing school. I was in a rut with my existing career and wanted...

    Working during a BSN program...Yes no maybe???

    ImThatGuy replied to ddmad's topic in General Students

    Yes, it's possible. I did. You're a 44 year old man. You need to be working and not just going to school. I can't give you any advice on how to do it. I don't manage my time. I don't schedule...

    Reserve or Guard Nurse but NOT a nurse full-time

    ImThatGuy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I don't trust anyone in life. As an aside, it wasn't air force. And I'm just not willing to work solely as a RN. It's just not in me to be happy in that capacity, and I'd give all of this up...

    Reserve or Guard Nurse but NOT a nurse full-time

    ImThatGuy posted a topic in Government, Military

    Ok, so graduation for bachelor's degree #2 is next week, and I really don't want to be a full-time nurse. Yep, I said it. I'd rather remain a cop, and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm happy in doing what...

    Reserve or Guard Nurse but NOT a nurse full-time

    ImThatGuy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Government, Military

    No, I couldn't care less if they pay for it or not. I'd like to be reserve military and nursing is an opportunity to do it at my Age. Yes, I'd leave full-time law enforcement to be a psych NP but...

    Reserve or Guard Nurse but NOT a nurse full-time

    ImThatGuy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Government, Military

    I was talking to a healthcare recruiter Tuesday with a reserve branch who stated that my position is kind of ideal. They'd waive the experience requirement in favor of having the psych NP coming to...

    FL New Grad worried about multiple DUI's

    ImThatGuy replied to Eve84RN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Here, you'd apparently have to request an appeal and show up at the board of nursing hearing and fall on their mercy. Their punitive actions don't seem to be balanced, but that's the nature of...

    Reserve or Guard Nurse but NOT a nurse full-time

    Just to add, and not that it matters much, I am starting a part-time masters program in August to become a psych NP - a nurse role I would

    Picking a Career Path

    ImThatGuy replied to keith443's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I want to add to this that nursing school and the idea that nursing teachers convey about nursing is nothing AT ALL like what you see nurses in the ER doing or acting. Nursing school is nauseating in...

    ImThatGuy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for the kind words and thank you for the job you do. I have worked dispatch hours (and more of them than I'd like to say I've worked lol) so I know the job isn't as easy or "simple" as a...

    Is this nitpicking or does the instructor dislike her?...

    ImThatGuy replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Let's talk about NITPICKING! I was late getting to the class picture session. The last message I got was to be there at 9:15. Instead, the class met at 8:45 and made a pilgrimage to the photography...

    ImThatGuy replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I recall being chastised one day for not checking patient identifiers. I knew who he was, and yeah yeah. Anyway, we can't give any kind of meds without faculty present so I walk in with about a...

    Did you go to your pinning ceremony?

    ImThatGuy replied to SummitRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The "ceremony" at my school will be someone handing you the pin you already bought after you pick up the cover your diploma goes in which you'll receive approximately 45 days after graduating. I'm...

    RNs who LOVE nights, read me

    ImThatGuy replied to RNsuperstar's topic in General Nursing

    I love working nights. In my current career, a night shift is the norm, and early on I despised it. Now, I like working while the city sleeps. It's more peaceful. Granted, I'm not a RN yet and...
