  1. Conflict with a coworker

    Dranger replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    Can you imagine how the ENGLISH feel strolling around East London having to hear every other language besides their native tongue. Better yet you can apply that to every corner of Britain. But we...

  2. Questions about military Nursing and HPLRP

    Dranger replied to nrryan's topic in Government, Military

    You can be contracted into Army ROTC which means while you don't get a scholarship you will commission. Whether that is AD or reserves depends on the needs of the Army and how well you do at school...

  3. Questions about military Nursing and HPLRP

    Dranger replied to nrryan's topic in Government, Military

    I will be blunt, the military is EXTREMELY hard to crack into now, gone are the days of yesteryear (early 2000s) when if you had a BSN you were given a red carpet ride into bonuses and loan repayment....

  4. Army Nurse Corps FY2014

    Dranger replied to jdubu22's topic in Government, Military

  5. medical marijuana past and wanting to be a nurse

    Dranger replied to lakersfan92's topic in General Students

    Dude, I highly doubt they can find the IP address of the OP in this thread and then put a anonymous username to a face. With background checks all they do is check your criminal record and call your...

  6. Decision is becoming clear...

    Dranger replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Emergency? Go PA and don't look back Good

  7. Unrealistic nursing students

    Dranger replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing new. Loads of meds students go into med school just to get into research without having to touch patients or land a sweet surgery job. Everyone guns for surgery. The CRNA/Manager/NP issue is...

    Dranger replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    I have seen some RN to BSN programs online where you basically buy the degree, the curriculum is that

  9. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    Dranger replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Eh I am not even mad, those APA BSN papers are so BS and full of fluff and theory I might have paid someone to do it as well. Nothing in my BSN program helped me in my practice and I went to a top...

  10. How hard is it to become a nurse after starting a family?

    Dranger replied to amirana1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No family, but I did it for the money and flexibility. It's nice knowing I can move where ever I want and have a

  11. Is it worth it to take a Cardiac Dysrhythmia class while in nursing school?

    Dranger replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    Not worth it, my employer put me in all of those classes when I got hired into critical care. Waste of money IMO and it won't put you ahead of peers. ACLS PALS EKG 12 lead and more... All paid for...

  12. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

    Dranger replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly like me, I did L&D in school obviously because I had to but it was like pulling teeth everyday I had to go to M/B or do a baby assessment. So glad those days are over. On the flipside I...

  13. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

    Dranger replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok so the point is you take a broader nursing job to expose you to a variety of skills. I don't care what drugs you give in OB, you won't see variety of patients as you do in med surg or the ICU. IF...

    Dranger replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    That won't be enough if they are expected to function on their

  15. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    Dranger replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    What I liked: Clinicals Science or actual health based classes Graduating and getting paid well right off the bat What I hated: The large amount of fluff classes (theory etc) My cohort of students ( I...

  16. Army nurse recruiting

    Dranger replied to Castle bean's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah that's what I meant but I have seen it slide it to within 3-4 years but who knows

  17. Med-surg RN takes 8 simple computer "courses" and POOF! is step-down nurse

    Dranger replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    That is a terrible idea for the hospital. When I started in the PCU, all of the PCU nurses did the same residency minus vent class as the ICU nurses with in class and hands on training for months. Bad...

    Dranger replied to jdubu22's topic in Government, Military

  19. Army nurse recruiting

    Dranger replied to Castle bean's topic in Government, Military

    Well once you are in you can apply for the course after 1-2 years in the Army. The trouble is getting in. As someone else said there were 10 slots for DC about about 175 for ROTC. Thats for new grads...

  20. Nursing school effect on life?

    Dranger replied to Moonspellpecado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look as I said before if you are the traditional college student 18-25 and with no family or marriage you have time, period. I did ROTC, lacrosse and partied in college and my grades didn't suffer....

  21. Nursing school effect on life?

    Dranger replied to Moonspellpecado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are single ( I consider a bf or gf still legally single) and have no kids you should have plenty of free time,

  22. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

    Dranger replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    L&D is a niche so of course I won't be comfortable but I am an ICU nurse so I pretty much can float anywhere besides OB (I could probably handle M/B) or the OR. I'm sorry it just doesn't work that...

  23. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

    Dranger replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you be perfectly comfortable floating to the ED, PCU or tele units on any given day? And comfortable in all of your skills. Say what you want but this girl was literally shaking during skills...

  24. What are the most common positions for new grads?

    Dranger replied to RHill9919's topic in General Students

    Trauma is pretty broad and most ICUs or ERs for that matter don't handle trauma. I think trauma nurse is a misnomer. ICU and ED handle sick patients but trauma even in the most inner city hospitals...

  25. Being a nurse who likes working alone?
