Hey everyone, So after scouring the internet and as much of AN forums as I possibly could, to no avail, I've come to you all with a question. I currently have my BS in Biology and work in an andrology lab at a major reproductive medicine. I've been ...

Ah Higgs Boson, amazing stuff! Another particle is the Kaion (not sure if you're interested in particle physics), a fun read if you get a sec. I agree though, at the end of the day nursing is a "safe" investment to me, and I've always believed in ta...

Well thank you for sugar coating your opinion, as it really doesnt do me any favors. While it's a bit frustrating to read, I think you are spot on. I was just too immature and unfocused during undergrad and I'm paying the price now. I've developed in...

My one friend is in ICU in a major hospital in NJ, and another over in neonatal ICU in Pennsylvania. They both said knowing me, how I would present myself in an interview, and being a male nurse with good grades and healthcare experience I will basic...

Perhaps not scientifically stimulating, and just like any other job, I'm sure MDs have their inevitably monotonous days as well. The sheer intellectual challenge can be definitely far beyond the call of most other jobs though. I understand your poin...

Thank you NurseVisionary, I have definitely considered this, as I realize the institute that awards you your BSN seems to matter very little. Drexel does offer some benefits that I consider to be of significant value. It is 11 months (yes, rigorous, ...

Wow! I would first like to take a moment to thank all of you for your wonderful contributions, and it makes me feel great that there are others in here who are able to benefit from the questions as well. I thought about quoting everyone individually,...

Yes, it's that big tent that makes me think I will find a position that I am very content with. By asking questions and thinking outside the box, I was referring to the research definition of it. As in, the theoretical questions you ask that lead to ...

I work in an andrology lab as a tech (probably going to the ACE at Drexel in the spring)...and I get that from the MDs after we chat a bit, "Why didnt you go to med school Dave?" Blah blah, dont get me wrong, I have no intentions of being bedside my...

Yeah that is sound advice, and I appreciate you taking the time. I do agree that the more I'm willing to dedicate myself to the science behind what nurses do will only lend itself to making me a better nurse. I am just hesitant that perhaps down the...

The insurance battles, the churn and burn mentality....the healthcare provided in the US at this point in time does no appeal to me to be honest. It's lost its MD/patient intimacy, we over medicate, etc. Unfortunately, this question is often asked by...

Lourdes is double the price of UMDNJ, I wonder why NJ residents consider going there? Thoughts?

This is exactly why a CRNA calls an MDA when **** hits the fan. They have a much more understanding systemically due to their years of training. CRNAs know anesthesia as well one would argue, however that's about it.

You're definitely not alone....it seems like everyone and their mother wants to be a CRNA these days.

I have my BS in Biology, and will be going for my BSN (accelerated this Fall)...I'm just curious how hands on nurses are during the research. Also, is it out of the realm of possibility that an RN will go on to get a PhD and actually conduct the rese...

Looks like Family PMHNP may be the way to go for anyone entering the field, as a way to avoid collateral damage of the pending changes. I'm entering my accelerated BSN program now (BS in biology, working in reproductive medicine lab currently)...wou...

Rest assured, you're not the only male. Now let's just hope we're not the only two males lol Shoot me an email [email protected] we can talk about books, studying, stuff like that. I'm looking for some people to study with for sure.

Starting an accelerated BSN program this Fall, and this thread really confirms my current beliefs that I will pursue becomming a CRNA down the road. I've considered PharmD, or research in genetics/proteomics but I would miss the human/patient interac...

I got into FDU and Marymounts accelerated programs, still on the waitlist for Drexel. They contacted for more info, just waiting on a response to the material I submitted. FDU is the 2 year program, but I can work while I go, and also have clinicals ...

Congrats! I received my acceptance yesterday as well. I wonder how many other males will be in the program lol I've also been trying to find some of the more affordable areas in VA to live. Looking for anything under $1k/month, I guess maybe a studi...

First post on the site, long time lurker! I was wait listed for the Spring 2013 ACE program...which was a little discouraging however recently I was contacted asking for more information. They wanted a personal statement explaining a few grades (che...
