    Fireman767 replied to Iamaboyandanurse2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I as a male did excellent in Peds and OB, infact I had the single highest ATI test scores in my class. Sad that one guy did best out of 52 students, about 80% of which are females. I used ATI and my...

    Fireman767 replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. iMac or MacBook!

    Fireman767 replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. ADN BSN

    Fireman767 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im in an area of the country that has a shortage of nurses, where there are more ADNs over BSN. Funny fact is the ADNs here make close to as much as the BSNs in most of the rest of the country. But...

  6. Bachelors and masters degree in non-nursing - ADN or BSN?

    Fireman767 replied to maffechr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Is there an RN-BSN online school that doesn't require current RN license

    Fireman767 replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    if you went to a college with an ADN and a BSN program then you can. My school is allowing me to do the ADN program and take the BSN classes as well so i can get my ADN and BSN at the same time....

    Fireman767 replied to sevenup0307's topic in Male Nursing Students

    yeah, my department head was almost embarrassed when posting the top 10% listing. but im just stating the old theory of discrimination being for the most part demolished. There are men who show that...

    Fireman767 replied to sevenup0307's topic in Male Nursing Students

    you shouldnt find any discrimination in nursing. seeing as men are the minority, in most cases there is a favor towards having men in nursing, the schools see it as a way to get more men into their...

    Fireman767 replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

  11. Can't get into nursing school!

    Fireman767 replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    so from what it sounds like someone who gets 4.0s and did excellent on their NLN shouldn't get into the nursing program? i understand you dont have 4.0s and you work, but there are people who do...

  13. What should i do with nursing?

    Fireman767 replied to PhillipJunior's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I as a male nursing student actually take some offense to that like seeing as many of the males in my class are consistently ranked well and do well on exams and such. It appears you havent done any...

  14. Recommendations, please!

    Fireman767 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Students

    there like $10-20 on half.com. they dont need to be the newest, just within the past 5 years. for instance the ECG interpretation book hasn't changed anything except images in the past 10

    Fireman767 replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    Fireman767 replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    a wrist watch is required for nursing school. get one, and start loving it because its very important. I actually lose some respect when a fellow nursing student has to ask me to borrow my wrist...

  19. Does going to a top school affect job prospects?

    Fireman767 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I know students from yale who can't find jobs, so i would say that all nursing degrees are equal. the hospitals near me look at grades while in college rather than college name. Plus i know a few...

  20. Male Pre-Nursing Student

    Fireman767 replied to emorales2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. A little premature, but will we find a job after nursing school?

    Fireman767 replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Fireman767 replied to schade1's topic in General Students
