    dspevak55 replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Woot Woot! I passed my CNA test Aug. 31st, 2010. Along with handwashing, I had measuring respirations, ambulating a patient, Leg ROM, and pericare for a female. I was about to return to a 3rd shift...

  2. Do you still hold doors for women?

    dspevak55 replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, I am familiar with that song....I was also in the Falcon Marching Band, as a sousaphone player, and even know the 'rude' words to Aye Zig. =)

  3. Any reason NOT to post resume online?

    dspevak55 replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It can be done...but there is some validity to the concerns. Having once been a network admin, it is remarkable what people are willing to share - essentially giving up their own privacy. It can...

  4. Public Health Educator,but I'm so afraid of public speaking ?Need advice.

    dspevak55 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    Public speaking is, like anything else, a learnable skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Now, with that said.... 1) If you know you want to it, then go for it. While it may be tempting...

  7. Looking for scholarships/grant information to help with nursing school

    dspevak55 replied to dspevak55's topic in General Nursing

    I would add that I did look into financial aid, state and federal. If you already have a Bachelors, you don't qualify for them anymore. I either have to get a loan, or find my own grants/scholarships....

  8. New Grad Murses having an easier time finding jobs?

    dspevak55 replied to Age1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it depends on where you are located and what the area demand is. The job market, in general, now is horrible for most sectors (except health care). The only things available in East Central PA...

  9. Ages of male nursing students?

    dspevak55 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I applied and was accepted into the nursing school program (through a hospital) last year at the age of 42. I will be 45 when I graduate. I left a computer career of 10 years, after a permanent layoff...

  10. Do you still hold doors for women?

    dspevak55 replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Of course, but then again, I hold doors for anyone behind me. Regardless of it being appreciated, I still do it...and have taught my children to do it. However, I also have a door-holding story from...

  11. Height Fright

    dspevak55 replied to Soldier of Empathy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm 76" tall (6'4") and find that I tower over most people I work with. Other than finding it a little hard to find scrubs that fit, I have managed. Being a large person, I am evidently useful for...
