  1. Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

    tenjuna posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As I am almost done with my first year of my ADN nursing program, I decided to write this article with some thoughts about where I was a year ago. I know I am being overly dramatic here, but hey what...

  2. Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here I am 3 years from my last post as promised lol. I did finish my MSN in Nursing Informatics online last year with a 4.0 GPA from University of Mary (umary.edu). Good school but pricey. I would...

  3. MSN Informatics program recommendations...

    tenjuna replied to nurse404's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I went to WGU for RN to BSN, very highly recommend it for many reasons. However, I did my Informatics MSN at University of Mary (umary.edu) before WGU opened their program. Good program overall but...

  4. Does dating get easier as a male nurse in his 30s?

    tenjuna replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Before I became a nurse my dating options were practically nil. Since I became a nurse they have been practically nil with the option of dating from the workplace, and that option comes with an...

  5. Need advice please

    tenjuna posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello all, I am coming up to a crossroads in my relatively young nursing career, and I really could use some advice. Graduated with my ADN and received my license in 2014. I moved to North Dakota to...

  6. Job Offer But it's Out-of-state

    tenjuna replied to nocturnallife's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sanford in Fargo is a great facility and the OR unit is pretty tight. I think you'll like it. It's expensive to live in Fargo as far as rent, but there's lots to do and Minneapolis is 3 hours away if...

  7. Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    tenjuna replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    You could look and see if Clinical Informatics interests you. I was in Ortho for a year and a half and it almost completely killed my desire to be a nurse. I switched to CI and couldn't be

  8. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    tenjuna replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    I was a new grad 2 years ago and after 2 months of nationwide searching I had to move to North Dakota to get that coveted first job. The jobs are out there but usually the requirements are more than a...

  9. Considering MSN (Informatics) + NP (FNP), please give me opinions/input.

    tenjuna replied to iridius's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in Informatics as well, mainly because I worked in IT for 25 years before I became a nurse. I am doing my Masters in Informatics now, and will be doing a DNP in FNP at Grand Canyon University in...

  10. Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I very highly recommend WGU. It was cheap, it was fast, it was easy. I waited almost a whole year before starting though in hindsight I have no idea why I waited, it was very easy in comparison to the...

  11. Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's been 3 years since I originally posted this, and wanted to give some updates to my journey and maybe some more helpful advice. A few weeks ago I finished my BSN, which I took online with Western...

  12. Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    tenjuna replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a straight male nurse, I can honestly say it's not even easy to meet a woman, so I imagine it's not any easier for anyone else. All of the long hours and stress are not great aphrodisiacs....

  15. Multiple job offers in ND, need advice/opinions

    tenjuna posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Out of the blue today I received multiple job offers at Sanford Health in Fargo and St. A's in Bismarck. I currently live in Iowa and was looking to relocate anyway, so I don't think I can make a bad...

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's precisely what I was thinking lol...I just don't want to get trapped in a bad choice so I figured if someone knew something this would be the place to

  17. Got my license today...some NCLEX advice

    tenjuna posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got my RN license today, took NCLEX yesterday...so happy to be done. Since I lurked in here for months, I figured I would pay it forward with my 2 cents of advice. Your mileage may vary of...

  18. Got my license today...some NCLEX advice

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A little late answering this, but just noticed it so here it is...I decided in February (while I was still in school) to utilize NCLEX review tactics as a study method for exams in class. For whatever...

  19. Got my license today...some NCLEX advice

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can understand why it might sound contradictory, but as I said me doing 4 reviews was pointless in hindsight. There is a difference between "studying" and "reviewing". The main point I was driving...

  21. A little anxiety applying for Nursing school as an older male

    tenjuna replied to Magnicious's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just graduated today, and I am 43. The only other guy in the program was 45, and a lot of the males I saw working during clinicals were older as well. You will be in good company

  22. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    tenjuna posted a topic in General Students

    So, I have been reading a lot of the posts in the Nursing section, and have seen the part about how everyone asks for medical advice once they find out you are a nurse. Well, I am a first year nursing...

    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    So I'm about to finish nursing school, and in the last year the number of times I have been asked for medical advice has gone up exponentially. I forgot about this thread until running across it just...
