   bdedwards replied to bdedwards's topic in Male Students

   I appreciate all of your input greatly! However, I do not and won't consider divorce as even being an option because I was a child of divorce and it still haunts me to this day and if for no other reason, I want to be around for my daughter. I think ...

   I work part time as a CNA, have a family and of course go to nursing school. I have found that it's not nearly as hard as I made it out to be in my own mind. I'm sure that it will get much much harder as time goes by but just try staying focused. Do ...

5. Marriage and Nursing School

   bdedwards posted a topic in Male Students

   I'm just about finished with my first semester of nursing school and possibly my marriage. I love my wife so much and our daughter and I'm trying, I really am, but I just suck at juggling it all. I'm sure there is more that I can do but I don't know ...

   Well right now I'm just really apprehensive about getting at work in the lab and clinical. However, I'm not sure about the whole thing. I love working with kids and it would really disappoint me to be shut out of that.

    By the way, the topic was meant to say "student" but my iPhone keyboard is too small.

11. New male nurse student and assessment skills

    bdedwards posted a topic in Male Students

    Well, from the more experienced nurses and further along students (I'm only on my 3rd day); how did you all learn to memorize the process in a head to toe assessment? Reading about it, it seems so memory intensive and I'm a little overwhelmed by it a...
