    commonsense replied to commonsense's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll have my ADN, so unfortunately St. Lukes is not an option for me. I was planning on applying for the M.D. Anderson internship though. I have not seen any information on the website about the...

  12. How would you comfort a dying atheist?

    commonsense replied to stripbubbles's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would imagine you should support and comfort them just as you would a religious person. Only one piece of advice, do not try to get them to be religious and do not use religious sayings, such as "I...

  13. Any ME time at all during RN program?

    commonsense replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Glad to hear you're aware of the time and energy commitment of nursing school, I wasn't before I got in. It's not as much about not having time to do the things you love, it's about making the time....

  14. What is it like becoming a male nurse?

    commonsense replied to maddfaiz92's topic in Men in Nursing

    When I got into school a few of my friends poked fun at my career aspirations, but humor cures all. I told them that being a nurse probably would suck, I'd be making 25-30$ an hour starting off and...

    commonsense replied to Plover1's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is what worries me. I will graduate with an ADN and a 3.4 GPA but I'm not sure if I will be considered with so many BSN students applying for the same position. Anybody got any ideas to set...

  21. TA is rude

    commonsense replied to futureconfuser's topic in General Students

    You could do an e-mail, but it's tough to read how something's being said sometimes. You can't give a tone of voice to an e-mail. What if you approached him before class and asked him if you could...

    commonsense replied to Justin93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My suggestion is for you to get the nursing curriculum from the University's BSN program that you are looking to attend. Look at non-nursing classes that transfer from other schools. Two HIST and...

  23. TA is rude

    commonsense replied to futureconfuser's topic in General Students

    Talk to the TA directly, not through electronic communication. Be respectful of him when you speak to him, but speak your mind and tell him what you need to tell him. Find out if there is a...
