    Is their a way i can get a hospital to pay for nursing school

    ImThatGuy replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The one in my hometown does it. They take applications for a program, and then pay the person's tuition, fees, books, and other expenses related to nursing school. The downside is that you owe them a...

    Airborne Nurses In The Army Reseve?

    ImThatGuy replied to Ol Timer's topic in Government, Military

    You can request airborne training in any army MOS, but it's up to your command whether or not to send

    Parish first aid kit

    ImThatGuy replied to ivy's mom's topic in Parish

    For your limited intents and purposes just Google it. There are hosts of sites that sell first aid kits ranging from something you could pack into a key chain to something you'd put in a 55 gallon...

    Was nursing school fun?

    ImThatGuy replied to Nolander's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yep and pretty much. I have no desire whatsoever to take a position requiring a lot of, if any, hands on patient care. Could I do it for a while? Yes. Would I be happy? Nope. Would it be to get...

    Day in the life of a nursing student?

    ImThatGuy replied to Looking_ahead's topic in General Students

    This won't mirror anything others will say, but for this semester... BSN program. Class from 9-11:30 and then 1-4:00 on Tues and Thurs. Wake up at 8, etc. Class; listen, text, skim Power Points on...

    Advantages to being a male nurse

    ImThatGuy replied to ItsTheDude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly, I think less is expected of me as a male student. It may just be because I've proved myself academically and with skills, but if I do get something wrong or fail to do something I'm never...

    Hyperkalemia and glucose / insulin...

    ImThatGuy replied to ohmg's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In a nut shell, it's not the glucose. It's the insulin that does the job, but even though you're using it to reduce the extracellular potassium content, but facilitating its (K+) diffusion back into...

    MSN in education after 3 years as a LTC and corrections?

    ImThatGuy replied to bymysoultosqueezeRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I really think you'd be hired with the degree. Not enough people want to teach nursing due to the lower salaries it seems, but in your situation it'd probably be ideal to have teacher's hours. You...

    Was nursing school fun?

    ImThatGuy replied to Nolander's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The answer is going to be very specific to the personality of the student and the conditions of the class, clinical, etc. I (me) have found nursing school to be five parts B.S., three parts busy...

    People that can't share feelings

    ImThatGuy posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I'm trying to figure out something I've come up on. I know some people are guarded (I am, for example), but what makes a person become suddenly mean and irrational when questioned about feelings? If...

    Nursing Supplies

    ImThatGuy replied to ad3vans's topic in General Students

    My program sent out a letter asking who wanted a "nurse kit" and who needed CPR. The price list was itemized, and you can have none, one, or both. Once the program started we were provided with...

    Nursing as a 2nd career

    ImThatGuy replied to Cherzilla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you need or want to move? You seem happy with what you're doing, and nothing in your post said "yeah, I wanna become a nurse" so stick with what you've got. If you just want to go to...

    why is med/surg a hard class to pass??

    ImThatGuy replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    Actually, the book is so heavy you can't hold it and read it. You'll need the jack off your car to get the front cover open and the Hubble telescope to read the eight point font. I think that's why...

    is BIO 201 hard?

    ImThatGuy replied to Cynthia0218's topic in General Students

    I think BIO 201 is a little easier than BIO 202 but slightly harder than BIO 200 which was of course more difficult than BIO 199. Once you get to BIO 300 though it's smooth sailing. With three...

    Psych patients psychic??

    ImThatGuy replied to carolmaccas66's topic in Psychiatric

    Psychic? Perhaps. Do psychics exist? Sookie Stackhouse is psychic so it must be true. Open the door to accepting psychics and it'll be a hard one to close. Few in science will admit it as a...

    Any study tips for an upcoming 2012 nursing student?

    ImThatGuy replied to Crystal360's topic in General Students

    None of my prereqs are at all recent, and honestly I do better with that sort of thing than anyone else in my class who just had them. It's really up to you. I personally wouldn't do anything extra....

    ADN take Pharmacology or wait for BSN?

    ImThatGuy replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    It's probably not needed at this point to pass the NCLEX, etc. Sure, it couldn't hurt, but before you take it to transfer it make sure it'll definitely transfer where you want it to go. At the...

    ADN Curriculum.. does this look right?
