  1. Need some direction on this problems:

    grpman replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    You may want to set this up as a ratio just so it is visually easy to see...but since the supply is a ratio of 1 unit to 1 mL (250units/250mL) you may just do it in your head. Since I know the ratio...

  2. nursing student opinions .. need a pick me up!

    grpman replied to katiebry1031's topic in General Students

    You are right. You will never retain all that info. I think the instructors could only make high B's if they took a test on the same subject they teach from another school...lol. Just know there...

  3. Obstetrics Clinicals SCARE me so much im considering dropping out :(

    grpman replied to canadiandude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't make a rash decision while you're emotional. They tend to never be the right one. So, suck it up, go to clinical, and act like you've done it before (no pun

  4. Nausea on the job?? Please help!

    grpman replied to NikkiJo's topic in General Students

    The difference between you and a seasoned nurse is probably just a few thousand needle sticks away. For now, just make it through the next one and it will get easier. The first time my wife called...

  5. Which classes did you find more difficult? Pre-reqs or nursing courses?

    grpman replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The pre-req's are much easier and there are a few reasons why. First your nursing classes will cover twice as much material in the same amount of time. If you are disciplined then this might not...

  6. Can't get into Nursing school advice anyone?

    grpman replied to Randi156's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you need to find out exactly what the schools you want to get into require for entrance. Some schools weigh the sciences heavy and will look past a lower gpa in other areas. Where I go, your...

  7. Male nurse working with female patients.

    grpman replied to andrewmiller1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I haven't had any problems with older women. In fact, it has been quite the opposite. I might would go so far as to say I'd prefer older females to any group of people in nursing. I'm curious if...

  8. as a prenursing student, do video games and studying mix or bad idea?

    grpman replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    I'm with noahsmama on this, it's starting to look like an addiction. You had a traumatic experience and eventually video games filled the void and took over your life. You also said you are now...

  9. To the nurses: clinical instructor who called me out

    grpman replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    We didn't all come from the womb being assertive, jack-a..'es like her. It took her time to develop her art of being confrontational and it will take you a bit of time to develop your confidence. I...

  10. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I too had all A's on sciences....my GPA was about 3.3 or there abouts due to 15 year old classes at U of M, and I had a higher NLN. So I made it in with a much lower GPA than you. I gave no letter's...

  11. ADN=RN

    grpman replied to Birdbr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems you have made your decision. And it seems like your decision is to pursue a BSN via an ADN start. Sounds good. You will make money faster than those who went straight through while saving...

  12. Why do articles say nurses are high in demand but in reality it's not?

    grpman replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in General Students

    I think it is good to remember that the overall economy is down so we can't always compare a job now with what it was in the past to determine its worth. Sure, it may not be as easy to get a job now...

  13. Do YOU enjoy nursing school?

    grpman replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    I don't like nursing school at all. I do, however, like to sit and watch football on the couch with a bag of lay's potato chips. So, nursing school sometimes interferes with that. I will say that...

  14. ADN=RN

    grpman replied to Birdbr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you do get an ADN and all the doomsday critics are right and you can't get hired, then do a bridge to the BSN online or at a university. It can't harm you and you will probably be making money...

  15. clinicals, nursing thru the day

    grpman replied to GonnaBSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow, this thread helped me too. Thanks for the posts. This is the first time I've copied and pasted on Allnurses. Kudos to

  16. 2year RN vs BSN

    grpman replied to joysimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where I live there is only one hospital that is going for magnet status and is now, for the most part, hiring bsn's only. However, all the others are taking ADN's. I question if some of the ADN's...

  17. Nurse trying to scare me away from RN/Nursing in general

    grpman replied to camci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Remember, as has been said already, wages change as you move across the nation and usually the cost of living averages out highs and lows. 30 bucks in Tn isn't the same as 30 in Cali. I do however...

  18. To future, current, and past nurses!

    grpman replied to RNhopeful21's topic in Nursing Career

    I like the mental aspects of the career along with the ability to move horizontally and upwardly in the profession. Job security also drove me this way in no small part to a bad economy. Also, I've...

  19. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Well, if anyone stills checks this....Hooray! One semester down. Then I think to myself....oh no....3 more to

  20. In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    grpman replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Bottom line was, among other things, she did not like that I spoke up for myself when she accused me of doing something wrong or, more rightly put, she wrongly accused me of doing something I didn't...

  21. white scrub tops and males

    grpman replied to jltbone's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't let the white top bother you, but do remember to take off your nipple rings. They might show

  22. Womens interest in male nurses

    grpman replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just bounce your pecs twice after you tell them you're a nurse and all will be

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Thanks for the heads up

  24. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I was looking over my notes from orientation and saw that we needed to read the handbook, fill out page 56 and beyond, and take a quiz on it the first day of classes. However, I didn't write down...

  25. A "chick's" perspective on Men in Nursing

    grpman replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As a man I don't know why anyone would think that more men equals more money. Maybe men enter careers where there is more money in the first place. Correlation doesn't always mean causation b/c...
