  1. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    mingez replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Like I posted earlier, I think his name was Malik. And what was cool was the fact that his being male wasn't even an issue. It was matter of fact, "Oh yeah, Malik, he's a

  2. ER the television show

    mingez replied to Rio's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Finally, a good point. Complaining about ER not being realistic is like complaining that the Lord of the Rings movies are lame because there's no such thing as elves and orcs. C'mon... If ER was...

  3. What age were you when you went to nursing school?

    mingez replied to Imissthefall's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an LPN to ASN Bridge program, and will be going on to BSN. I'm

  4. any colorado lpn programs w/ no pre reqs?

    mingez replied to nursingwannabe's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, the prereqs are built into the program. So, you'll have to take A and P etc, just not before you get your nursing classes. But it's soooo

  5. I should have said something...

    mingez replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I don't feel comfortable with this comment. To me this seems a little insensitive. A lot of people suffer from chemical dependencies and I dont feel comfortable calling someone who I am taking...

  6. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    mingez replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Call me crazy, but I think we know this. As for the term "Nurse" being "Non-gender specific"...you know this, we know this, but the public at large doesn't. Otherwise people wouldn't go out of...

  7. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    mingez replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    You know, I was thinking about it, and the character "Malik" was a nurse. He wasn't the stereotype. Kind of had some street cred, due to his having grown up in the ghetto. He was a tough guy too,...

  8. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    mingez replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Atleast they have a male nurse on the show. I agree, at first I was put off by the term "Murse"...which I hate. But then, the writers went out of their way to point out how professional, capable,...

  9. Clarify why LPN to RN vs. Strait ADN Program diffs

    mingez posted a topic in Nursing Career

    This seemed to be the most appropriate forum for this question, but if it isn't I apologize. From all of my readings, it sure seems as if it's a foregone conclusion that getting one's LPN cert is a...

  10. Womens interest in male nurses

    mingez replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Great post, but where did this one come from? I've never heard this objection, in fact quite the contrary. It's usually men who typically have more friends. I always thought it was a running joke...

  11. Denver School of Nursing

    mingez replied to spenceandchris's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yeah, that's a good point to make. To clarify, the BON is REQUIRING all programs to get NLN accreditation by 2010. So, all of the CCCS schools, such as CCD, Frontrange, Arapahoe, Red Rocks, etc are...

  12. Womens interest in male nurses

    mingez replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hahaha!!! That's funny. I don't think we'll let public perception deter us, after all, any guy that'll get into a nursing program has really thought about all of the biases, and misperceptions most...

  13. Ultrasound vs. Nursing

    mingez replied to Yannie021's topic in General Nursing

    At the risk of over simplifying the choices... Here are the Salary.com averages. Not 100% accuarate, but it seems to echo what many are saying: Ultrasound Salary Nursing Salary As for Job Outlook,...

  14. Platt college?

    mingez replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yes, you can get financial aid (and you'll need it) available due to the fact that they are accredited. Remember, they are an accredited school (thru the BON, and Colorado Commission of Higher Ed,...

  15. Platt college?

    mingez replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    BSN only. Hence why it'll take longer for them to get accredited and get out of their probationary status with the BON as a new

  16. Platt college?

    mingez replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    They don't have a Nursing website up yet. However, they've got more than their share of applicants. I applied, and got accepted for this April '06, however it's quite expensive (about 60K for a BSN)...

  17. 1 year ICU schools

    mingez replied to mammothsnw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to say, that while most in the CRNA forum are wonderful and helpful, I find a higher percentage of gruff responses in here. I hope this isn't the norm. That post was anything but benign, and...

  18. Pt Threats and Name Badges (again)

    mingez replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Another vote for removing the last name. Perhaps only an initial for the last name. But as many have said, there's no advantage to having last names on

  19. Took NCLEX today..stopped at 85 questions does this mean I failed?

    mingez replied to jcarro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CONGRATS!!!

  20. Late Start for Nursing?

    mingez replied to nodaknurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    One thing I'd like to add, is that much of your decision making may hinge on the amount of time it'll take you to acheive your goal (if ultimately that is RN). In my case, had I not entered an LPN...

  21. Took NCLEX today..stopped at 85 questions does this mean I failed?

    mingez replied to jcarro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Someone answer this question please! I'm curious

  22. Nurses vs. Paramedics

    mingez posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, this isn't a typical "should I become a paramedic or RN" thread. It's something much goofier. (EDIT: I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR, THIS IS ALL IN GOOD FUN. JUST SOME FRIENDLY JARRING.) I have...

    mingez replied to mingez's topic in General Nursing

    :roll What a fantastic post! Thanks for sharing. This is all very

  24. Nurses vs. Paramedics

    mingez replied to mingez's topic in General Nursing

    These are all great! Keep'em coming! LOL But if you would, could you help me with some of the acronyms and jargon. REmember, I haven't had a single Nursing class as of yet. (I start in August) So,...
