  1. I'm a freshman BSN student....

    Thujone replied to bigdreams01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Reading this made me smile and giggle a little, and not because I think it's funny, but because you sound a lot like I did a few years ago. Here's the thing. I dont know what the admissions board...

  2. Is becoming a LPN worth it?

    Thujone replied to Zysa's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you may be confused, and perhaps getting information from incorrect resources. If you would, allow me to clarify a few things for you. 1. I have never heard of an LPN making $10/hr. That...

  3. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    Thujone replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No, the expectations have been the exact same for my female peers. I didn't get any special treatment outside of a few things that are uncontrollable. For example, one time two girls were speaking...

  5. Looking for opinions on school

    Thujone posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have several options. I can start Paramedic school Jan. 2015 then go back to RN school at a later point. On the other hand, I can attend LPN school and then either do a LPN to RN bridge or just...

  6. Looking for opinions on school

    Thujone replied to Thujone's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The LPN program is 3 semesters and the medic program is 5 semesters and they are at the same school, so the cost per credit hour is the same, but obvsiously the LPN program will be cheaper. I like...

  7. Looking for opinions on school

    Thujone replied to Thujone's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with you but I wouldn't be able to start an RN program until Fall 2017 regardless of what I choose to do. In the mean time I could attend my community college lpn program that last 12 months...

  8. Paramedic Vs Registered Nurse: knowledge

    Thujone replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you was an EMT-B. Anybody who has taken pharmacology can tell you what a beta blocker is. You can't be a paramedic and not know what a beta blocker is. I wouldn't expect an EMT-B to...

  9. Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    Thujone replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    There is a simple fix to this problem. Simply say and prefferably in front of others and very respectfully "I find it very offensive that you call me a girl, and would appreciate it if you did not do...

  10. Dosing calculation for Ceftriaxone 400 mg IM

    Thujone replied to gigi607's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You want 400 mg, but you only have 350 mg per ml. So, you should create a want-have divsion equation. It works like this: Want / Have so... 400mg / 350mg (per 1ml) = 1.14 ml If you need to divide the...

  11. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

    Thujone replied to PlentyOfMurses's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Absolutely not!! I have dated a nurse that I work with and although everything was good for about 3 to 4 months, after that we had a break-up, long story short, I started dating her literally right...

    Thujone posted a topic in Pediatric

    Today I had a patient come in and had to give them HPV #1 and Menactra. Well I did give them the correct vaccines, but I gave them the state vaccine and they have privatw insurance. Has anyone ever...

  13. Wrong vaccine...sort of

    Thujone replied to Thujone's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks for your help. I'm new to vaccinating. I opened up the wrong fridge (we have a state frdige and a private fridge for vaccines), and grabbed them out. It was the correct vaccine, so the child is...

    Thujone posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hello, I have a question in regard to male nurse, more speficially LPN's marketability. I just (five months ago) completed an associates degree in medical assiting, and I am certified as well....

  15. Male LPN Marketability

    Thujone replied to Thujone's topic in Men in Nursing

    So are you saying the chances of being employeed are slim? I realize that it would best in the long-run to get my RN first, but that's not an option financially right

  17. LPN in County Jails

    Thujone posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am thinking of possible places I want to use my future LPN education, and corrections seems to be a high candidate. That being said, do county jails usually hire new

    I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with a mostly on line LPN to RN bridge program where clinicals are done at a local hospital. I want to know how you felt about the difficulty of the...

  19. Just found out my partner's dad is a DNR

    Thujone replied to ionatan's topic in General Nursing

    So have you called your partner's sister yet? The way I see it you could just leave it alone and when he dies and the EMS services or you try to resuscitate him and it fails... that won't create any...

  20. Just found out my partner's dad is a DNR

    Thujone replied to ionatan's topic in General Nursing

    Is she a big case of crazy? If so, the best advice I can give is to fully explain why you want it, and then get into the intricate details to prevent an irrational

  21. I didn't pass the TEAS V..

    Thujone replied to jojo1800's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Why does this mean you have to do computer science? Also, why do you view computer science in such a negative way? I would advise you to review the TEAS V manual in the areas that you scored poorly in...

  22. How do you check a pulse? Nope I'm not a student

    Thujone replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I take their pulse based on how the patients arm is currently lying or the way they hand their wrist to

  23. For allnurses

    Thujone posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's easy to get caught up in all of the complexities that involve getting into, attending, and being a nurse, but there are things that we sometimes forget about. I think that out of those things,...

  25. Womens interest in male nurses

    Thujone replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why would they think that? If you do your job well then they won't see a difference. On the other hand, I think some of these older patients assume that male nurses are doctors, so they just think...
