  1. Womens interest in male nurses

    commonsense replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're certainly entitled to your opinion. But as a male nurse I would not be able to date a woman who refused to date a man solely based on his occupation (especially an occupation as widely...

  2. A "dating female students in your class" post

    commonsense replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Only one thing to add, Nike's slogan doesn't apply to this

  3. I May be in huge trouble....

    commonsense replied to hlr2752's topic in General Students

    Don't worry hir2752, this will not affect your nursing program eligibility. The school will have no way of finding out about your ER visit if you don't say anything. Also, you are not ethically...

  4. Does the school really matter...?

    commonsense replied to ninjakat2115's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While the school may not make a major difference in how employers look at you, the school you attend does make a major difference in the quality of your education. While looking the way you describe...

    commonsense replied to SarahIN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Class of 2012 Graduates!!!

    Sexy little leopard skin leotard. I've been wanting to wear it for awhile now but haven't come across the proper occasion, until

  8. maternity/pediatric rotation

    commonsense replied to lovecorinth's topic in General Students

    The first thing you should do is relax, take a deep breath. 12 hour shifts are long, but if you keep yourself busy they go by in no time. What you should know depends on what floor you will be on....

    commonsense replied to raqi89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the acceptance raqi89. Get some rest now, once nursing school starts you won't have

  10. ADN or BSN

    commonsense replied to raqi89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a long running debate on AN about this very issue. Typically I would say go for the BSN, no doubt about it. However, with the details you listed I believe it would be a wiser decision to...

    commonsense replied to Jamie, CMA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. RN-BSN: two nursing classes at once?

    commonsense replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I plan to take 2 classes each 5 week semester as well. I'm hoping this will shorten the time of the program. Has anybody but kcdunlap taken this

  13. Do males get "preferential" treatment in regards to school acceptances?

    commonsense replied to mr cooper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Completely agree with the last sentence in your post Wanahakalugi (nice name by the way). I have yet to come across a single nurse or nursing instructor whose attitude doesn't change at least a...

  14. Fainting with venipunctures

    commonsense replied to PaigeNicole's topic in General Students

    Very strange. My advice is to go to youtube (or another similar site) and watch a variety of venipuncture videos. Maybe this method will help you overcome your

  19. Bad GPA what route should I take

    commonsense replied to mrs.elson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One thing you might try is retaking some of the classes which you failed or received a C in. By retaking the class and earning a higher grade (A or B) you will replace the lower letter grade with the...

  21. Taking science pre-reqs online?

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

    That's unusual, I've never even heard of an online A&P class down in my neck of the woods. I have no experience with it so I have no direct advice to offer you, I know I have loved my other...

  22. Bachelors and Masters From the Same School?

    commonsense posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am planning on obtaining my BSN and eventually a dual MSN/MBA. I am curious if switching schools makes a difference at all, and if so, is it better or worse. Is it better to have your bachelors...

  23. Bachelors and Masters From the Same School?

    commonsense replied to commonsense's topic in Post Graduate Students

    After doing a little bit of research I have come to the conclusion that it's better to get the degrees from separate schools because it broadens your education. You learn from a greater variety of...

    commonsense replied to zoeyzoe's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am interested in this program as well. How do you guys like it so far? I have a couple of questions for anyone who can answer them, I know I should ask the advisor, but I can't seem to get ahold...

  25. Choosing a Nursing School

    commonsense replied to erica990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry about the effect your school will have on your first job, but rather the effect the school will have on you passing your NCLEX. You could work as a nurse tech/assistant during school...
