  1. The same old battle - work vs school! Ughh..

    monsuun replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's where you work. I'm working as a patient aide, and I told them up front that they take a backseat to college when it comes to priorities. Not only were they fine with that, but they let...

  2. If not a nurse, then what?

    monsuun posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Short background, I'm a 35-yr old prior cop who has gone through a period of total disability. Now that I'm (mostly) over that, I've decided to go to college and get a degree for something that pays...

  3. APA Writing Style Resources

    monsuun replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I last went to college about 17 years ago and I don't remember having to use any particular "style" (of course over that long I may have just forgotten). Now I'm going back to college for nursing and...

  4. Know-it-all nursing students?

    monsuun replied to magichospital's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Heh, I had something like that happen. Had a fellow student bragging about his 90 he had made on a test and how he knew he had the highest grade in the class... I let him go on for a couple of...

  5. The Great Double Standard?

    monsuun replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wanna hear something funny and kind of related to the subject? Where I'm doing clinicals at, there is a female resident that I felt I had created a bond with. She had told me that I had been more...

  6. nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

    monsuun replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't mean to be offensive, but I'm a little tired of attitudes like this. I don't like the idea of abortion at all, but I realize it's probably not going away and I'm sensitive enough to not argue...

  7. Guys, do you wear your wedding band to work?

    monsuun replied to JaredCNA's topic in Men in Nursing

    A little off subject, but a funny story. I stopped wearing my ring when I gained over 100 lbs. (In less than a year) due to cancer treatments and the fact that I stopped weightlifting but continued...

  8. The Great Double Standard?

    monsuun replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have an awesome solution! If a male or female nurse is PROVEN to have sexually molested someone in their care, shoot them! If someone is PROVEN to falsely accuse someone of sexually molesting...

  9. Looking for student nurses, male and 50+

    monsuun replied to wannabenurse14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You guys make me feel good, I was worried about a career change at age 35! Thanks, and I'm sure you guys will be

  10. Concerns about 'modeling' pictures

    monsuun replied to Rakkika's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree, if we had a link, we could lend our expert opinion... just to be helpful of course, no need to let our wives and girlfriends know, they'd probably misunderstand our well-intentioned desire...

  11. Curious...any of you guys considering Peds/PICU/NICU?

    monsuun replied to SteveNNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to say, when I decided I wanted to become a nurse, the first thought in my mind was "I want to play with the new babies!" (I love babies, wish I could talk my wife into having more of 'em)...

  12. Genetic Testing is an ethical issue?

    monsuun replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    When my wife was tested with our son (10 years ago) we were told he had an extremely high chance of having a serious mental illness (I think it was down syndrome, but don't remember) and the doctor...

  13. Awkward situation

    monsuun replied to Student7881's topic in General Students

    As a prior cop, I used to see this stuff all the time. People who committed crimes would be mad at the police for catching them, or witnesses for "pointing fingers" at them. They seem to lack the...

  14. Non-smokers getting less breaks?

    monsuun replied to hkendrick1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's how it was at the last place I worked. An ambitious and mathmatically inclined co-worker found that the smokers were getting (on average) about 2 whole weeks worth of breaks more than the...

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

    monsuun replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So... according to the OP, I royally screwed up by getting married? :anbd: lol My wife knows she can trust me, but it is a little sad... some of the nursing students ARE really hot (though a bit...

  16. Appropriate?

    monsuun replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd say discuss with your wife first. I had to do that a few years ago when I started selling pampered chef. I told my wife that I would be around mostly female clients. (They've actually all been...

  17. Calhoun Community College 2011

    monsuun replied to thing2chic's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'll be starting at calhoun cc this summer, and while I don't know from experience, here is how it was explained to me. You need 201 points to get into the Nursing program. You get as many points...
