  1. USPHS

    Loque replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    You're right that they stated they are 'focusing on the existing applicant pool', which included the year 2011. I am attempting to work with COSTEP, and luckily my application was taken for...

  2. USPHS

    Loque replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    This was a fantastic thread that answered tons of my questions about the USPHS. I've been tentatively selected to participate for SRCOSTEP, probably for the BOP. Anybody else out there trying to get...

  5. How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    Loque replied to 86toronado's topic in General Students

    Absolutely fantastic article. If there was an award show, I'd nominate it for sure. Quick question. If someone is unable to get their CNA license before they start school, what other kind of part...

  6. Need some advice. I hate my job!

    Loque replied to MommyMmf's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also echoing the fact that the pregnancy should not affect your hiring. Now, if the hiring manager can obviously see that you're pregnant, they could conveniently not hire you, but they cannot...

    Loque replied to Tree525's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm starting my BSN in January, and I've been out of school for a few years, so this information was a fantastic way to wrap my head around learning again. I like the idea of studying with the NCLEX...

  8. nurses dating nurses?

    Loque replied to rnski's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think dating someone in the same field as yourself can work out pretty well. You gotta admit, people in the healthcare field are dorks. No, I don't mean that in a negative way, it's just that the...

  9. Do you still hold doors for women?

    Loque replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I also hold the door open for anyone, regardless of sex, color, whatever. It's pretty much an automatic response for me. I don't expect anything in return or any acknowledgment. It's sort of like me...

  10. Advantages to being a male nurse

    Loque replied to ItsTheDude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is a true story in my experience as well. I've had several jobs in the past (HS and college) where I have been caught being someplace I probably shouldn't be, and as long as you are fun and...

    Loque replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Loque replied to bduck's topic in Male Nursing Students

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

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

    I thought this was a very interesting thread, and had some good points on both sides of the argument. As a student that is starting this Jan, the whole dating thing has crossed my mind already. In...

  15. Help on NP Route... Am I Getting This Right?

    Loque replied to Loque's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you don't mind asking him about the programs, that would be awesome. (I'd PM you, but I'm not allowed to yet for some reason, ha ) I did know of one or two of the chiropractic to NP routes, but...

  16. Help on NP Route... Am I Getting This Right?

    Loque replied to Loque's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the link. I was only aware of the forgiveness though the Income Based Repayment Plan (IBR), but this is extremely helpful too. It's nice to know there's many different ways to get some...

  17. Help on NP Route... Am I Getting This Right?

    Loque replied to Loque's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The grants and scholarship thing is something I'd def have to look into. Everyone has brought up great points about the BSN over the ADN, but in order to do that I'd probably have to get some...

  20. Help on NP Route... Am I Getting This Right?

    Loque replied to Loque's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I already have a bachelor's degree. The Direct MSN is a great idea, however I have found that many of them are non-stop for 3 years. I can't afford to not work such a long period of time. A...
