  1. Cheap online MSN / FNP programs

    RNbrent posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    After spending a couple full days last month applying to Georgetown's online program, I got accepted. The program is to start in March, and it's all online (except the 650 hours of clinical). I was so...

  4. Male RNs ages 18-25

    RNbrent posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey everybody. I was just curious how many of you are younger males in the nursing field, particularly around the ages of 18-25. I was the second youngest student in my class to graduate. First...

  5. Hiring question

    RNbrent replied to new_worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You were looking pompous. This is an internet site. Not an interview. I often make mistakes in my writing, but never double check anything because this is a forum. Let people think what they want...

  6. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    Anyone that works to live needs to re-adjust their lifestyles. There is a law in economics called the propensity to consume, the more you make the more you spend. If you re-adjust your lifestyle you...

  7. If you could rewind and do it over again...

    RNbrent replied to NurseBanana's topic in Nursing Career

    This.. NPs will be the new family doctor's of the future. Family M.D. just has no money any more, and NPs will be happy with making 100,000+ a year. Mock my words, family doctors will be phased out....

  8. What's your nursing kryptonite?

    RNbrent replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    this x 10 billion. That smell is so awful sometimes, and you're trying your best not to let the patient know you notice it since they're a little self conscious themselves. Anything else is

  10. 2nd day on my own as a new grad, with a student, cried three times

    RNbrent replied to whitebunny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If it were me, I would have put this kid's nose in the corner a long time ago. Still, you're still WAY too new to be precepting (even though I know you got stuck with it). Your preceptor should have...

  11. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry, I didn't realize this was a christian site. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'our true God'. I'm a monk, are you telling me my God isn't true, because that's certainly the impression that...

  12. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    It's obvious how important this kind of information is when it comes to being a good nurse. /sarcasm I think the majority of people will agree that on the job experience prepares people more for the...

  13. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    This is what should have been said from the start. Instead we have people arguing which field is a 'better' field. I didn't mean to offend anybody with my comments. My point I was trying to make is,...

  14. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    DNS on the go, Sounds like to me the problem isn't the student, but the teacher. Why don't you step up your game? You say these students are unintellectual? Do you even know what intelligence...

  15. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    RNbrent replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah..... I don't like that comment. Not one bit. Doctors will never understand the sense of reward that comes from being a nurse. Doctors act like God, but nurses are God. Intelligence has nothing...

  16. Male OB Frustration

    RNbrent replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Going back to my OB rotation, I never had a problem from the patients! I was very honest from the beginning with them. I always introduced myself and told them I was a student. I also informed them...

  18. Scared!!! I take it Tuesday

    RNbrent replied to Twinessa1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you're getting those scores on Kaplan you will do fine! Still, continue to study the basic's and learn about all the essentials! I got 54% on my Q trainer 7 and passed the NCLEX @ 111 questions....

  20. Ages of male nursing students?

  23. NCLEX comparable to what you studied?

    RNbrent replied to beachgirl2011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Out of all the study guides, Kaplan prepared me the most, just because it gave me an idea of what types of questions I'd be dealing with. Though I think I would have sufficed with the Saunder's book /...

    RNbrent replied to healthcarestudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That PTT is within normal. When giving Heparin, you can expect to see a 1.5 x client's base line PTT and that still would be considered a 'normal' PTT (while on

  25. In it to win it... Just got accepted

    RNbrent replied to Jeepinjed's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly, 1 up every one of those women in your program. Being 1 of 3 males in a 30+ nursing class, I had to show those women they weren't God. For some reason, many women in nursing have pompous...
