  1. OK we get it STUD, you're straight

    cpl_dvldog replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I rarely see straight people, nurses or otherwise, go out of their way to make it known they are straight. Believe it or not, but simply being gay is not a big deal to most men. It is when they act in...

  2. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    If you have already been accepted into JSCC Nursing Program go there. Remember the bird in a hand

  3. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    We started with about 86 students on my campus. Out of those there was about 15 males. Out of the original 15 I would guess there are about 8 left. The reason I chose Bevill is twofold. First it is...

  4. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    First of all, I am not a girl. ha-ha! I already did my preceptorship, first half of the semester. I've decided to go straight into the BSN program at UAB. After I finish that I will go into the Navy...

  5. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I hope nurses start retiring soon. With Bevill, Sumiton and Jasper, graduating about 50 each, Jeff St. about 60, Wallace maybe 50 more, Samford close to 100, and UAB about 100 every May, this makes...

  6. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    What is the process to fill the seats now? They invite 200 people to take the TEAS test to fill 150 seats, or do they invite 150 people to take the TEAS test hoping they all pass

  7. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Not sure how they do it now, but when I entered, the COMPASS test ws required to apply. It had to be taken before your application was accepted. From what I understand the deadline to apply for the...

  8. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    There are many things HR looks at when evaluating potential new hires. Not only do they look at ADN vs. BSN, they also look at what program you graduated from. Some have better reputations than...

  9. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I would suggest all nurses obtain a BSN sooner than later. I have never seen where more education held someone back. As the national nursing shortage is eleviated employers will place more emphasis on...

  10. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    You are right about each campus being different. Between Jasper and Sumiton I would highly suggest goijng to the Jasper campus, because the Sumiton campus is treated like red-headed step-children....

  11. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Unless I am mistaken Magnet hospitals only hire BSN. I know in the VA health system they will hire ADN, but you cannot progress past Level 1 nurse. I feel it is only a matter of time before a BSN will...

  12. If you could go anywhere in the country for nursing school...

    cpl_dvldog replied to DidDidDid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If your wife is working, stay put until you finish school. After you finish you can take the NCLEX in any state you want to work in. It would be very stressful to start nursing school and you and your...

  13. disparity

    cpl_dvldog replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    jguy... if you can't find scholarships for single moms you are not looking very hard. Just Google single mother scholarships and thousands come up. I ran into the same problem. I was an unemployed...

  14. Male OB Frustration

    cpl_dvldog replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My OB rotation was a total waste of time. My first two days were spent changing sheets and passing out food trays. After the second day I talked to my instructor and was told not to worry about it...

  15. OK we get it STUD, you're straight

    cpl_dvldog replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Why is it that homosexual men feel the need to let everyone know they are gay by extremely feminate body language or even wearing female scrubs, but are annoyed when a straight man lets it be known he...

  16. Male nurse

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The only advice I can offer you is be prepared to put in the hours. Nursing school is not really hard, it is just VERY time consuming. In class you will be presented with the information, it is up to...

  17. Male nurse

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    By far the easiest semester of nursing school is the first semester. Bevill does Med-Surg and Maternal/Child Birth as mini terms the second semester. We lost approx. 1/4 of the class due to Med-Surg...

  18. Male nurse

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Almost everyone will be bias toward the school they attended, so that will not help you out much. I will give you some advice though. I would not consider an LPN program. The pay is not good, and...

  19. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I cannot give you an honest answer on how Bevill chooses their nursing students. I was accepted with a previous BA degree. I only had to take my BIO classes during the nursing program, except BIO 103...

  20. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    We started 1st semester with about 80-85 students in Sumiton. I would assume Jasper started with just as many, or more. Going into 5th semester we have about 90 students combined. That also includes...

  21. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    When 2 students, from the same school, are scheduled to be with the same preceptor it IS the schools fault. When the school then tells that student they are so short on preceptors they may just have...

  22. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Our uniforms are the blue scrubs, and the ugly whites with the green and purple stripes on the sleeves. The class behind me has a different white uniform. I was told they have white scrubs and blue...

  23. Jeff State under review? Which campus is better?

    cpl_dvldog replied to Newby'sWife07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    According to their own website they take math 100+, then the 3 highest grades from BIO 103, BIO 201, BIO 202, BIO 220, or college level chem. You can only get up to 90 pts for those science classes,...

  24. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I really have nothing to compare Bevill to. I have 3 friends and family that have graduated their nursing program. They all really liked it, that is why I chose Bevill. I am a 5th semester student and...

  25. Jeff State under review? Which campus is better?

    cpl_dvldog replied to Newby'sWife07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    First semester is the best one to take during the short summer semester, it is the easiest semester. By far the worst to take during the summer is 2nd or 3rd semesters, since they are the
