  1. Nursing to Med School

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

    LOL put that Dr. on your jacket and go around the hospital calling yourself Dr., see how that works out. I am sure physicians will love that. Also patient confusion to the umpteenth degree. You want...

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

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

    Wrong, negative reaction is generally confirmed 48-72 hours

  3. Nursing to Med School

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

    No age limits, but cost/benefit analysis says the younger the better however I am sure ADCOMs places some admissions weight to a 27 year old compared to a 58 year old. Going to med school at 60 means...

  4. Nursing to Med School

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

    Wrong, one of the biggest myths regarding pre-med. About 50% of accepted med students did NOT major in a science. Actually med schools are pushing for more well-rounded applicants which means lots of...

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

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

    Lol you think you like science until you are in Orgo II or Biochem. Nursing has plenty of intellect and critical thinking You could go into pathology as a doc if you want, nobody usually wants it as...

  6. Nursing to Med School

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

    NO NO NO NO times infinity No lol Statistically it is the worst degree path (MCAT and practicality wise) to go straight from nursing to med school and here is why. 1. Wasting your time, most of the...

  7. Pre-Nursing Problems- Baby or no baby?

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

    They told us not to get pregnant or married while in nursing school at the

  8. What does your countdown look like?

    Dranger replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    I wish I was back in school, can I reverse the countdown?

  9. I Feel Done

    Dranger replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    Are you still a student? As a student you always have someone to hold your hand and it is entirely a learning process. When you actually become a nurse there is no hand holding and there is literally...

  10. I Feel Done

    Dranger replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    You aren't alone, I am gutting out a few years of bedside nursing and moving on to APRN or something else. The stress both physically and mentally isn't worth the mediocre pay. If you hate school you...

  11. Anyone else...

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

    Lol that gusto will fade fast but hey good

  12. Unhappy camper looking for some advice from nurses

    Dranger replied to skigirl8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1800 for 120 slots, that isn't even bad compared to the US. You can have 3-5k apply for 100 slots Go NP, bedside nursing isn't what you think even though nursing leaders (who haven't seen a patient in...

  13. Second Guessing My Major

    Dranger replied to chughes1995's topic in General Students

    You might have to deal with patients for a couple years but there are a ton of business/management jobs in nursing that are the typical "white collar" type of

  14. RN to MBA? Anyone else out there?

    Dranger replied to cp2012's topic in Nursing Career

    MBAs are a dime a dozen. Literally half my non-nursing friends ran out and grabbed one after they graduated. Really think about it before you waste money. MHAs are super common as well and with a...

  15. possible position

    Dranger replied to d00d00butter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would highly suggest you didn't do that, as a new grad you should stick it out at least a year unless the work conditions

  16. cant get job as rn new grad should I keep volunteering?

    Dranger replied to arose26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's called cost/benefit analysis which at this point for the OP is indeed a huge waste of

  17. possible position

    Dranger replied to d00d00butter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had a similar scenario, I had been out of school for a bit and was called about a dream residency that was 4-5 months down the line. They sounded pretty interested but I wasn't going to bet on that....

  18. Unique situation as an upcoming grad.

    Dranger replied to lexicon28's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A BF isn't a reason to stay but if you can get a job there then why not? Remember to look outside your state too... Sorry about your football

  19. Why type of IV solution to use?

    Dranger replied to motay68's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Depends on their vitals and some other things but in general you just need a volume expander. In a major blood loss situation I would say NS or LR would be the ideal choices. Both

  20. Future NICU Nurse

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

    Sounds like pre-med slapped you around pretty hard, focus on your pre reqs before you even think about

  21. cant get job as rn new grad should I keep volunteering?

    Dranger replied to arose26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Generic MSN would be a huge waste of time and money, just keep plugging

  22. New Grad Program, Fort Lewis

    Dranger replied to sgmc's topic in Washington Nursing

    She won't get anywhere there as a new grad unless she has inside

  23. Likely to find an RN job (any) within a year?

    Dranger replied to Sobrien4's topic in Washington Nursing

    Haha no I have BSN friends who are still out of work in Seattle after 18 months...they have a lot of nursing schools there. 40 new grads apply to 1 slot. I tried for a while to no avail. Stick with...

  24. Do you think physicians could pass the NCLEX-RN?

    Dranger replied to Lev's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Fair enough I value that input, not saying NPs are bad in any way but the teaching/curriculum is a lot different than med school thus the higher fail rate. I think the thread got diverted when a...

  25. if you could do it over again....

    Dranger replied to abiggie's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not considering my younger age, I wish I tried for med school first then if that didn't work out, direct entry NP. I think it's a great second career but going into college at 19 I wish I...
