  1. Best men's watch for male nurses

    MedicalPartisan replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For any new viewers, I recommend the Timex Men's Ironman, especially for the budget shopper. It's only $29 and has worked outstanding for the four months I've had it. It's also water resistant and...

  2. Just got my acceptance letter!

    MedicalPartisan replied to nursingstudent321's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Congrats! It is really exciting to have that letter in your hand. I just started and I'm loving it even more than I thought I

  3. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I've already addressed that via PM with the member I

  4. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I made it clear my intent was not to discredit him. You can be nurse-of-the-year but if you haven't been in school for (God knows how many) years and are trying to teach students to be floor nurses...

  5. How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    MedicalPartisan replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    It's not something I thought I'd be interested in, but it was a lot of fun. Studying wasn't terrible; I never popped open my book. I just studied the powerpoints and handouts and I was gold. Of...

  6. Quality penlight?

    MedicalPartisan replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    You won't find much better than your bookstore, in my opinion. Not that they are quality; they're all crap. Our bookstore offered a cheaper disposable version (for about $3) and a silver, 'permanent'...

  7. How much was your book set?

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    I don't know how other colleges do it, but at mine your books for the entire program come in a packaged set. You can buy them one at a time, but undoubtedly you will spend more money (purchasing from...

  8. How much was your book set?

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Here's the kicker, the theory instructor REQUIRES the eBook set. There were two students the first day who bought the physical books and the instructor advised them to get a refund and purchase the...

  9. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    MedicalPartisan replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    +1 for (old)

  10. I start in the morning, and I'm kind of bugging out.

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    I want this, I really do. But the past three days have yielded some previously non-existent anxiety (for lack of a better term). I know now, and I knew going into this that it would be hard work. I...

  11. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all. I start the program Monday and I must admit, I'm nervous. Albeit anxious and excited, I know I have a lot headed my way. I graduated with a BAS in December, and while it was definitely a...

  12. Military Time

    MedicalPartisan replied to krm7's topic in General Students

    IF the standard in your place of employment has a 24-hour standard (as in if all of the employees follow this rule) then there would be nothing wrong with saying 'two thirty' because there is no other...

  13. Failing....? Your school's policy?

    MedicalPartisan replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    To the member who states their program requires an 87%... wow! That's harsh! Mine only requires a

  14. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I cook quick, easy meals. Just throw some fish, asparagus, peppers, shrooms, et cetera in the skillet and be done in ten minutes. As for work, there is 0% chance to work less. I support myself solely...

  15. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I completely understand. I just feel like it is imperative for me to have some structure because I'm not used to anything this stringent. Although I have a BAS, I honestly didn't have to pop open too...

  16. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I do agree that I need to find more time to study. But with my schedule, I feel like I won't have the time! Even if I cut out 'rest', that's only an hour. Sure, an hour is better, but it's not going...

  17. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I figured that there is no way I can function on my current sleep schedule and be sane. Currently, I just work three 12-hour shifts on the weekends so it's somewhat okay that I only get four hours of...

  18. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm curious to know some of the things your patients call the ambulance for. Just recently we've had patients who present to the ED via EMS and c/o ripped cuticle, or a med refill, along with many...

  19. What are you doing summer break?

    MedicalPartisan replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    What Summer? I start nursing school Monday. (in 18

  20. Can't choose...Lpn or RN

    MedicalPartisan replied to _marie_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let your fear of a bad program dictate your future. So many people I know choose to pursue RN after years of LPN. The money is obviously better, and you get a much broader range of environments...

  21. Never Give Up on Your Dreams

    MedicalPartisan replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's so awesome! The fact that you conquered and didn't let anything stop you shows a lot about your character. I know you'll do well in the program. You're going to be an awesome

  22. Pre-Reqs for pre-nursing

    MedicalPartisan replied to veronik04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must admit, your post is a little difficult to read. Is English your native language? If not congrats on learning the fundamentals, I wish I knew a second language. I couldn't really find a question...

  23. When to start applying for jobs? before graduation? afterwards?

    MedicalPartisan replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in General Students

    Would it be unethical to not tell them you're planning on nursing right away? After all, there is that unfortunate possibility that you don't pass boards the first go-round so that job would be...

  24. Getting your first RN job: The secret rules.

    MedicalPartisan replied to SPG5731598's topic in General Students

    Great information. I haven't even started (next month) but I know this information will be extremely beneficial.

  25. Nervous for nursing school

    MedicalPartisan replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in General Students

    First of all, CONGRATS! I wish I would've known sooner what I wanted to do. While I'm only 23 I often think that I could have been a nurse for four years now had I started early. Albeit not a healthy...
