  1. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Dranger replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    Umm I think that's obvious which is why the OP came here for help.... You don't physically strong anybody you can use your words to help a person come to a rational decision. I saw this in the ED a...

  2. You won't believe.....

    Dranger replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have just lol'd and went back to reading. In all honestly (without her being blunt like that) it's kinda true. The only time in my experience of being a student that I had nurses who gave a...

  3. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Dranger replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    How is he being weird? He has a recognized a problem and is coming here for help on fixing it. If you think nursing is all hugs and rainbows when dealing with patients you are

  4. Do you eat well/exercise while in the program?

    Dranger replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Did PT (Army physical training) or lifted weights every day at the university gym. I lived on campus so three pretty balanced meals a day with protein supplements. On the weekends I drank a

  5. How do you decide on a speciality?

    Dranger replied to gmarquardt's topic in General Students

    A dart board lol Honestly even though I hate it, med surg or a tele/step down unit in my opinion are the best places to start. Lots of people really want to do mother baby or NICU out of school and...

  6. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Dranger replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    I was never a bouncer but I am a pretty big it as well from sports and the military so I know what you mean by unintentionally using your size in situations. Just stick with it, nursing qualifies for...

  7. What do you carry your gear to clinicals in?

    Dranger replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in General Students

    Please tell me the iPad is locked in a locker

  8. ER Scribe while in the BSN program?

    Dranger replied to iono101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mean if you like the job keep it although your hours will have to change obviously. Personally I would give it up because it's not really going to help you all that much as a nurse and it is geared...

  9. What do you carry your gear to clinicals in?

    Dranger replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in General Students

    Stuff gets stolen all the time, Lord knows why these people want to bring all this gear. With a lot of hospitals they have hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE and cheap stethoscopes lying around that you can...

  10. Yoga teacher training - Can it benefit my nursing practice?

    Dranger replied to 078207's topic in General Students

    No, you will be busy as it is, half that relaxation, guided imagery stuff you never really do because of

  12. Fear of failure

    Dranger replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my favorite Teddy Roosevelt quotes: ]"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit...

  13. Chemistry/Which kind?

    Dranger replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a matter of fact those schools aren't even in my area, but considering I looked at schools from all over the country when I was considering nursing school and their classes were totally different...

  14. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    Dranger replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    I did both because I didn't know what I wanted to do. It's not possible to do pre-med the same time as nursing so I did it during my summers which I don't recommend. I had the GPA and MCAT practice...

  15. Army Nurse Killed in Afghanistan

    Dranger replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    Very unfortunate, I knew a couple girls who were also Army nurses that wanted to do the female engagement team as well. It's dangerous out there

  16. Chemistry/Which kind?

    Dranger replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wrong. General Chem (generally 2-3 semesters) albeit being 100 level is A LOT harder than the chem required for MOST nursing programs. I think you are confused on the differences on 100 level sciences...

  17. Chemistry/Which kind?

    Dranger replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The watered down chem that most nursing schools require, it's a sampler usually of general, organic and biochem. Usually 100

  18. CRNA vs. RN

    Dranger replied to CallMeDoctor2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CRNA is anything but not-stressful, it is a crash course in anesthesia in 2-3 years AFTER doing more science pre reqs. There is a reason they are paid 150K plus and everyone wants to do it. The job is...

  19. Help me, I chose wrong career!

    Dranger replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    Military is full up and nobody will talk to you about HPSP until you have that med school acceptance (I did recruiting for a bit). I did ROTC and pre-med in college and if you can't handle the BS in...

  20. CRNA vs. RN

    Dranger replied to CallMeDoctor2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is the reason why people do it, crazy money, lots of respect and you don't have to deal with BS from patients or management for the most part especially if you are a

  21. CRNA vs. RN

    Dranger replied to CallMeDoctor2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-CRNA people (especially people who aren't even RNs yet) are about as common as a pre-med student at any college. Guess what? A TON of people want to do it and therefore it is very competitive....

  22. Army Med-Surg to civilian work

    Dranger replied to Sparticus391's topic in Government, Military

    I think that's a really broad statement. Most hiring managers have no clue what those military positions or schools mean on your resume or in my case were discouraged after I left my AD/mob rotation...

  23. Army Med-Surg to civilian work

    Dranger replied to Sparticus391's topic in Government, Military

    The GS world will probably care but for the regular civvy world I don't think it makes a huge

  24. Dimensional Analysis for Meds

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

    Dimensional analysis is used in Chemistry as a basis to convert or find moles, grams etc. It's useful and accurate for solving med problems although its slower if you know short cuts. Yes, its a...

  25. Army Med-Surg to civilian work

    Dranger replied to Sparticus391's topic in Government, Military

    Depends where you live for pay but I don't think there is a military vs civilian difference. You would be paid as a nurse with 4 years
