  1. Started Program This Week

    CSimonFan posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey everyone! Started my LPN program this week. We started out with 20 and 1 has dropped out so far. There is only 1 other guy besides me, so at least I'm not alone. We have covered 4 chapters of text...

    CSimonFan replied to CSimonFan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hi Kal. Thanks for the advice and for sharing a little bit of your student story. The novelty of being a nursing student has worn off and now we are so busy, I don't have time to think of anything...

  3. male nursing student uniforms

    CSimonFan replied to AlwazAmbitious's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I guess it depends where you are, but I'm here in NC and we only have to wear a uniform on the day of clinical (Wednesday), which consists of a white shirt, white pants, a white lab coat and white...

    CSimonFan replied to Murse901's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sounds like we have a lot in common right now Donald. I am a 39 yr old male in NC who just started LPN school this week. There is only 1 other male in the class besides me, so I am grateful for that....

  5. Pressure In The Boots???

    CSimonFan posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I have been reading this book written by a nurse that lives in Canada and she has referred to the term: "He has pressure in the boots". I am unfamiliar with this term and have asked a few nurses about...

    CSimonFan replied to CSimonFan's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks to all of you that have responded!! My curiousity has been satisfied!! Yes, everyone should be a Billy Bragg fan, and if not a fan of him, at least a fan of Kirsty MacColl. That bit of work she...

    Thanks for clarifying that for me Talaxandra. I knew someone would be able to enlighten me on it. Interesting that you're a Billy Bragg fan. So am I. Thanks

  8. Where would you like to work after graduation

    CSimonFan replied to WildShot's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When I finish RN school, I would like to work in MICU or CICU in the hospital where I now volunteer. It is an excellent teaching hospital and also the home of the #1 heart surgeon in the world! He is...

  9. the discrimination question

    CSimonFan replied to wsmbarn03's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sad to hear that such a terrible thing has happened to you. I am just a beginning LPN male student and when I hear about situations such as yours, it gives me a little hesitancy about going into...

  13. Who is your Favorite TV or Movie nurse?

    CSimonFan replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have two favorites. The first is Julie London on Emergency. She was the epitome of the early 70's nurse with her starched white uniform. She was not the star of the show, but it was nice to...

  14. Ok guys, I'm taking the plunge!

    CSimonFan replied to mummer43's topic in Men in Nursing

    You and I have a couple of things in common. We are both in our 30's (I'm 39) and are in a similar field. I have been a corrections officer in a medium security prison for the last 8 yrs and have...

  15. Are LVN's Hired in Correctional Facilities?

    CSimonFan replied to audiharvi's topic in Correctional

    I think one of the reasons nurses are quitting in droves at the prison where I work is inconsistency. The policies/rules of the Medical Dept. are constantly changing. Where I work the inmates really...

  18. Are LVN's Hired in Correctional Facilities?

    CSimonFan replied to audiharvi's topic in Correctional

    I don't know what state you are in, but here in NC the Dept. of Correction does hire LPNs. As a matter of fact, they are happy to get ANY nurse they can get, at least that's the way it is at the...

    CSimonFan replied to CSimonFan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, I think male nurses DO rock. We have so much to look forward to in the field of nursing. Even though I am just beginning as a student, I keep up with the latest trends and am always reading RN...

    CSimonFan replied to CSimonFan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't be nervous about how people will receive you. You have made up your mind about becoming a nurse, so don't let what anyone else thinks stop you from living your dream. I used to worry about...
