  6. ER Tech with CNA License

    Bobmo88 replied to jiimmmyyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on which ER you work. My ER requires a phlebotomy certification and CNA or EMT is preferred per the job description but HR didn't even wait for my EMT certification to be verified...

    Bobmo88 replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Bobmo88 replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  14. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    Bobmo88 replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    I think people are jealous that you are so young and in nursing school. The fact that you were on top of your studies enough to get into a BSN program and pass your first semester of nursing school...

  15. Lining and labs/ hemolyzed specimens

    Bobmo88 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    Bobmo88 replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

  17. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    Bobmo88 replied to fraydar's topic in Male Nursing Students

  18. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Bobmo88 replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 20 when I applied to get on the wait list for an ADN program and then applied to some BSN programs a semester later. I didn't get into any BSN programs so I decided to wait on the wait list and...

    Bobmo88 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

  20. Im SUPER depressed! :(

    Bobmo88 replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try the practice tests online to get used to the format of the test, they also go over the reasoning behind the answers. Don't stress out if you don't do as well on the practice tests, I took...

  21. Which would be better for me in the long run? To work while in school or not...

    Bobmo88 replied to sapadgett's topic in General Students

    I would recommend that if you do decide that you want to work as a tech during school, try to start your job during a time when you don't have classes like the summer (if that's the case for your...

  22. Do male nurses wear scrub jackets???

    Bobmo88 replied to Nolander's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but I work as an ER Technician and I have never seen a guy wearing a scrub jacket. When I get cold at work I wear either a hooded sweatshirt or a zip up fleece jacket. I prefer black...

  25. Discouragement from others - Do I have what it takes?

    Bobmo88 replied to samanthajo23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just brush that comment off and just focus on yourself. You are probably better off than your classmates with your GPA and experience so what do they know? You should be proud that you have a...
