  1. hours per day

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

    Yeah I was definitely the minority in my class on that one. One of the few who partied hard and had fun... Most of my nursing class was type-A females constantly trying to justify how hard nursing was...

  2. Please listen!!!

    Dranger replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry I would rather work retail or at my local car shop then do something healthcare related while in school. Bottom line for many people it's not the best way to enter nursing and is in no way...

  3. How many men in your cohort?

    Dranger replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It was 5 out of 40 so

  4. I do not <3 OB...anyone else?

    Dranger replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yeah as if I didn't already feel awkward before when my prof said the same thing I got even more uncomfortable. Oh well I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers, just wanted to pass the course and move...

  5. RN program with no pre-reqs?

    Dranger replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just do VERY well on your pre reqs and you will be ok. It is true people don't look at GEDs favorably but hey if you kick butt in CC it doesn't

  6. RN program with no pre-reqs?

    Dranger replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where did she say say they were coreqs? She just said some basic science seems incorporated in. It seems sketchy and I would avoid a new school with no rep at all costs, but hey its your

  7. Please listen!!!

    Dranger replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hell no! I would never do CNA beforehand and it did not effect my employment after I graduated. CNA and RN have very very little in common. You get hired by networking, that's

  8. hours per day

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

    Typically I wouldn't study at all until 2-3 days before a test then I would look at the power points again. Didn't want to mess with my video game

  9. Air Force Nursing Questions

    Dranger replied to Inquisitive Nurse's topic in Government, Military

    1.For one you have to have your BSN to commission, a bachelors is a requirement for ALL officers. 2. Credit wise AF ROTC would not be feasible and the scholarships are very hard to get and are...

  10. Semi-informed question about military nursing...

    Dranger replied to jdmitchell's topic in Government, Military

    I was actually going to elaborate on my post regarding OCS. I wasn't implying going into OCS with a BSN but going into OCS with her BA and branching needs of the Army to try to switch over to BSN...

  11. I do not <3 OB...anyone else?

    Dranger replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's the irony of it all. Patients had no problem with male doctors but when it came to a male nurse? Nooooo way. We are both

  12. Semi-informed question about military nursing...

    Dranger replied to jdmitchell's topic in Government, Military

    You could enlist and try the AECP program but that isn't guaranteed. Since you have a BA, you would come in as an E-4. Coming in as an officer isn't easy as you would need to do OCS which is very...

  13. RN program with no pre-reqs?

    Dranger replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't want to go to a nursing school without pre reqs. Don't cut

  14. Huge interest in Military Nursing. Currently third year student.

    Dranger replied to mainemaleRNstudent's topic in Government, Military

    Unless you did ROTC which provides a direct route for new nurses, your chance at a commission as a nurse right now is very small. If you had a few years of experience then maybe. If this was 2008 I...

  15. Can I be a military nurse with an ADN and a BS?

    Dranger replied to NurseDudeRN's topic in Government, Military

    Since you guys don't have major med units like the reserves, what do guard nurses do? Just

    Yup, reserves is only a

  17. Civilian nurse at military clinic

    Dranger replied to lbig18's topic in Government, Military

    Go civilian. Whats wrong with civilian? This is the absolute worst time to try and get into the govt

  18. Navy Nursing/Corman

    Dranger replied to Robins19's topic in Government, Military

    He was not commissioned as a special ops corpsman, it is an enlisted rate. He enlisted to do the USNAPC program. I am sure they deploy a lot especially if it is in the special OPs community. Taken...

  19. New male RN student

    Dranger replied to ericlangs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Besides what everyone else said, try to have fun because the material really isn't that hard. Get pocket references for clinicals or some apps to help your practical knowledge. Make friends with some...

  20. I do not <3 OB...anyone else?

    Dranger replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My OB instructor hated males, you could definitely tell as she would never make eye contact with you in discussion groups nor would she talk to you during clinicals besides the bare minimum. Honestly,...

  21. Should i read any books to get a head-start for nursing school?!

    Dranger replied to Marsha238612's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't do that! I barely cracked my text books, took some notes I didn't read, and sometimes looked at the power points post beforehand. Weekends were all party time, literally haha Then again it...

  22. Civilian nurse at military clinic

    Dranger replied to lbig18's topic in Government, Military

    Hawaii is one of the toughest places to land an RN job even for GS. With the furlough and hiring freezes at GS installations I wish you good luck.... It's about who you know, even with the

  23. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    Dranger replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    Pre-nursing is nothing compared to pre-med. That program is truly no life where every class was harder than any class I had in nursing

  24. Should i read any books to get a head-start for nursing school?!

    Dranger replied to Marsha238612's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you think it would be easy? Just chill and enjoy your free time while you can. I don't know how hard LPN school is but my RN/BSN program took up a lot of my

  25. Need to take stats, micro, & psych elective...should I add chem on top?

    Dranger replied to Mosie posie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The "nursing" chem isn't like the inorganic/gen chem you need for pre-med which IMO is a lot harder. I think it's
