  1. Nursing to Med School

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

    Nursing buzzwords: Critical thinking, it's important when you begin to think for yourself and learn that not everything in the nursing profession or leadership circle for that matter stands for better...

  2. Nursing to Med School

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

    If you read the original purpose of this thread, the question was if the OP should go from nursing school to medical school. Having done a similar path I weighed the pros/cons of the decision for...

  3. Nursing to Med School

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

    Not disgruntled at all, I did pre-med and am currently prepping for the MCAT. Unlike you I did both nursing and pre-med and thus am in a position to give advice about the matter. "All I'm saying is a...

  4. Nursing to Med School

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

    I am not saying a doctorate in nursing is a bad thing, BUT I don't think the current set up is adequate for what a doctorate entails especially for a clinically labeled one. DNS and PhD in Nursing...

  5. Nursing to Med School

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

    How many legit PhD programs do you know that started from the get go online?...Yeah didn't think so. It's usually a bad sign when you see dozens of online DNP ads everywhere you go. If a DNP waived...

  6. Nursing to Med School

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

    My point is the DNP is a sham of a doctorate, NPs and CRNAs have been completely fine with a masters for years. The DNP is a money maker and ego booster for programs and nursing leadership. I have...

  7. Nursing Student thinking about joining the Navy

    Dranger replied to student-nurse-mil?'s topic in Government, Military

    I am pretty sure with hypothyroidism you wouldn't get a waiver. No, the chances of a nurse deploying with a MEF unit is low and you going with his individual squad is nil. Maybe if you were a...

  8. New Grad Advice

    Dranger replied to StudnetAmanda's topic in General Students

    A. Sure, but I don't see why unless you want more debt, it won't help you much. There are MSN floor nurses everywhere B. I went straight critical care so its possible. The whole you HAVE to do...

  9. Current nursing student...but what to do after my BSN?!

    Dranger replied to Jay Q's topic in General Students

    1. Get a job and experience 2. Most CRNA schools are very competitive and have only a few seats, not only do they want ICU experience they usually require more science classes like chem 3. AF nursing...

  10. Can you guys help me decide...?

    Dranger replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    5 WEEK COURSE Focus all of your attention on it and knock it out, the other option would be setting yourself up to fail I did a summer physics course in 4 weeks, it was intense but I got it

    YUP!!

  12. Nursing to Med School

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

    LOL obviously you haven't tried it, try working 4-5 12hr night shifts a week while taking 2 hard science classes like chem and bio, it is not easy. If the OP wants to be a doc that's fine but don't...

  13. Need advice: Pre-Nursing Student changing her mind.

    Dranger replied to SweetiePie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She came to a public board asking a question that I answered with truthfulness and pragmatism. I might take your attempt at a jab with some consideration....but in 25 years I have done and seen a lot....

  14. I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    When was this? Because that is NOT the norm

  15. Nursing to Med School

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

    No....they would be egotistical if they wanted people to refer to them as doctor at the mall or a restaurant. Being called a doctor, when you hold a doctorate of medicine, at a hospital makes perfect...

  16. Army nurse recruiting

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

    It's because they don't need anyone right now unless you are a CRNA or in some specialty area with tons of of

  17. I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    Pretty sure you meant disrespect but it's okay and I knew what the OPs answer was going to be. If someone is taking o chem for fun and trying to get into nursing school they must hate their

  18. Nursing to Med School

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

    Of course they do especially the egotistical ones...we aren't denying the doctorate but appropriateness of calling oneself a doctor in the hospital. If you are PhD and insist on students calling you...

  19. Sorry, but no..:

    Dranger replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Patient, client, customer...it doesn't matter. If you care this much about a stupid title I predict you will burn out in 2-3 years as a real nurse if you keep this up. You provide care that's it. GO...

  20. I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    I have indeed reread the post for your amusement and am 99% sure the OP is not taking the traditional o-chem series as I have NEVER seen a program actually require the 2 semester pre med/bio/chem...

  21. Need advice: Pre-Nursing Student changing her mind.

    Dranger replied to SweetiePie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What? I am realistic and was giving her solid advice from someone has looked down the same path 5-6 years ago. You want to throw unicorns an​d fairies at her? Go ahead. I am talking about real

  22. Nursing to Med School

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

    Oh yeah you mean the doctorate I can get online with 500-700 more hours of clinicals? LOL. Such a tough doctorate. I am guessing you have never worked in a hospital. Please go around calling yourself...

  23. I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    I highly doubt the OP is taking the real Organic Chemistry, probably the Intro to Chem (includes some biochem, orog, inorgo etc) class that most pre-nursing majors

  24. Sorry, but no..:

    Dranger replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Oh look we got the "White Knight of Health Care" on

  25. Got a question and want to see what you guys think

    Dranger replied to amandapanda2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My nurse didn't have them either, it's her health not mine...no clue why that bothered
