  2. Grades for grad school.

    mr cooper replied to mr cooper's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, the ICU is my goal and I'm expecting it to take some time to get there. I'm getting solid grades, but I just have to wonder how much better they could have been had I gone to a 2 year program....

  5. Military a good idea to get experience upon graduation?

    mr cooper posted a topic in General Students

    I am set on the ICU. I totally understand that it is very hard to land a position in the ICU as a new grad. I plan on applying to many hospitals and hopefully getting on some unit and then being able...

    mr cooper replied to yvettekatt's topic in Government, Military

    I don't want to make a new thread so I'll ask here. When is it best to call up a recruiter? I graduate in November 2013. Is it too early now? I want to make things as seamless as possible from...

  8. I think I am severely Depressed...Is this normal?

    mr cooper replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    For me what has helped is writing on note cards some pathophysiology, etiology, medications and nursing management for each disease. Writing it down on a small card forces you to pick the important...

  9. Is it worth it to get a certification in a specialty BEFORE graduation?

    mr cooper posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just starting out as a student in a 12 month accelerated BSN program and I am already thinking about jobs. I've done some research and plan on applying to many places 2 months before graduation....

  10. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    mr cooper replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 25 in a 2nd degree BSN program and I'm on the younger end of the spectrum. Its weird because I barely have anything in common with a lot of my classmates. I'm not married, in a relationship, never...

  11. Is it worth it to get a certification in a specialty BEFORE graduation?

    mr cooper replied to mr cooper's topic in General Students

    This is really helpful. I figure its a good idea to join the professional organizations and I will join the ANA once I graduate and am a student member with them now. I suppose joining student...

  12. Help... Should I stay in this program?

    mr cooper replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    You should definately make sure your school is approved by the California BON. Many schools are not, and while you can still sit for the NCLEX, your degree might not hold any weight. Its pretty bad...

    I'm curious as to what consensus there is in regards to nursing journals. I want to subscribe to 2-3 if possible and I was wondering what the highest regarded ones are. I know there are specialist...

  15. Advantages to being a male nurse

    mr cooper replied to ItsTheDude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The whole doctor thing doesn't bother me because I know if I wanted to devote the next 10+ years to learning to be a doctor, I could do it. I know I'm smart enough to do it, but I do not have the...

  16. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    mr cooper replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    As has been said, there is a lot in nursing besides hospital or LTC. Sometimes I'll be bored and think "hey, maybe I could work on a cruise ship, or a theme park." I'll look up companies that are not...

  17. So stressed..

    mr cooper replied to tperri24's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm going into a 12 month BSN program and this sounds hellish. I'm expecting it to be hard of course, but I didn't know tests could easily be a daily thing. I guess I'll have to seriously brush up on...

  18. Ages of male nursing students?

    mr cooper replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So I've been accepted into a nursing program, and just read a depressing article and subsequent discussion about how finding jobs is very tough for new grads, and how a large portion may not be able...

  20. Job market for nursing.

    mr cooper replied to mr cooper's topic in General Students

    Yeah, its just upsetting that a career I have poured a lot of energy and money into already may lead to a dead end. Granted I'm going to work as hard as I can and will relocate ANYWHERE to get that...

    mr cooper posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting to get into nursing school, so this is really for those who are in it already. I am interested in being a critical care or ER nurse. I realize you need extra training, but I am...
