    getting over my anxiety and nursing

    barcode120x replied to jose2010's topic in Men in Nursing

    IMO, you will never get over anxiety 100%, no one can, but like you said, you can control it. Prior to nursing, I never really had anxiety unless I was put on the spot like a speech, but then nursing...

    barcode120x replied to AGACNPmathis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I waited 2 and 1/2 years for my program mainly because it's a lottery based program...was I should say. As much as that wait did suck, I don't regret it because I would have never gotten into any...

    barcode120x replied to oklamedic2011's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    barcode120x replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As many have said, your story is missing a lot of info. The fact that you are not willing to share the whole story makes me less likely to sympathize with/for you. During my maternity rotation, I had...

    barcode120x replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Men in Nursing

    I must have hit a nerve with "busy" comment which I'll remove and replace it with the "sitting in the nursing station on the phone or socially talking to others". That's really the definition of busy...

    My program wasn't all crazy about showing logos, as long as it wasn't very visible (basically if it wasn't white or white-ish grey). I highly recommend K-Swiss shoes. No specific type, but definitely...
