    Best backpack? Not rolling!

    barcode120x replied to the healer's art's topic in General Students

    Not a fan of roller packs either. I highly recommend SwissGear backpack because they're vergy comfortable . I use one that fits my 15 inch laptop. A bit on the pricier end but worth it. Can fit 2...

    barcode120x replied to Mshotsauce's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Very true. Plus, you need to be EMT certified and with hospital experience afaik. My coworker has about 2 years of EMT experience and he still can't get in as an ER tech. If I were you, I would just...

    barcode120x replied to HEsMyHealer's topic in General Students

    For pharmacology? I would try to stay away from memorizing every single drug. There are just SO many! I guess you could memorize the very common ones or the ones they tell you that are very important...

    barcode120x replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hours of study.....

    barcode120x replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I finished my first semester of my ADN program in Spring and I'd say my study hours varied each week. First three weeks we have 5 chapters each week, so I was definitely doing at least 20 hours of...

    Tired of Nursing??

    barcode120x replied to NurseCallus's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't quit! Sounds like where you are is a little "boring"? Like someone stated earlier, move to a trauma center. Try out ICU or CCU. Maybe moving to a new location/hospital might help. If not, change...

    barcode120x replied to Smith5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First, apply everywhere. My GPA limited me to only 1 local JC and after 2 and a half years, I got in, fortunately. I could have went to a university or cal-state straight out of high school for a BSN,...
