    Things have been going well at my job, and while I do enjoy critical care and caring for patients, I know that my long term plans will most likely not involve bedside direct patient care. I have...

    Loque replied to Loque's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. The problem with multiple preceptors...

    Loque posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is that I have to take a half step backwards each time. When my educator says I will be getting a new preceptor, I usually bite my lip, keep my breath hushed and low, and keep to myself. If you think...

  11. How I Got My Dream Job!

    Loque replied to tokyoROSE's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I really liked reading about this method, and I definitely think it's a way to make a applicant stand out, and probably bypass a few of the 'hoops' in the application process. Many of the hospitals...

  12. Hobbies that keep your soul alive?

    Loque replied to TrinidadStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm totally with ya, man. I spent my off time doing usually one of 4 things... lifting weights, writing, drinking whiskey, and going out with girls. Life is all about balance. Take care of your...

  15. Help a Senior out :3

    Loque replied to mrjspham's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've yet to have any patient comment on me in a negative manner. The ones you would think would have a problem due to old fashioned values (elderly, immigrants from other countries), all respect me...

  16. Frustrated!!!!!!! Am I alone on this?

    Loque replied to JenniferS_CNA's topic in General Students

    I understand that it's frustrating, and I agree that getting into something, anything, for the wrong reasons will ultimately end in failure. Whether it's appropriate or not, the people that got into...

  17. Duke pay for nurses is shameful

    Loque replied to Shelley1960's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm not an RN yet, but live in the area, 'word on the street' is that a new grad can expect something in the $23/hr range, base without any

    Loque replied to FIDOGS's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't graduate until May, but I have been interested in the fellowship after I'm finished with school. I searched the website, and there is no mention of start dates, or how many admission cycles...

  19. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

    Loque replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Truth. Both men and women (women more though, maybe) compare themselves to others all the time. This is especially true in school because it's a competitive place. The single most important thing...

  20. Double standard for men?

    Loque replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think I've been subjected to double standards yet, however I have noticed a couple of differences between male and female interactions with professors: - I feel like males are sometimes held...

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

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

    I don't think it makes you a bad person at all. You had feelings for her, and you got hurt, bottom line. It's good though, you learned that she in fact didn't have the same feelings towards you. In...

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

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

    I first responded to this thread before I started an accelerated program. No that I'm about done with my first semester... My thoughts really haven't changed. After you take away the married guys...

  24. Womens interest in male nurses

    Loque replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm currently in nursing school, so maybe my view is skewed, since the only women I interact with on a daily basis are other students. Students are going to understand a male's interest in nursing....

  25. How long do you spend studying?

    Loque replied to ChrisNZ's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Now that I've been in the program for almost a full semester, I've found that my study habits are really different from my other classmates. I much prefer to spend 1-2 hours a day going over material...
