  1. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    OMG now I want one. I went through nursing school with an Adscope, which did its job but as a grad gift for myself I bought a Littman, and the difference amazing. But the lack of variety in colors...

  2. I need help with medication calculation?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ns808's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    the question states to not round to trick you into thinking there will be rounding... I always do dimensional analysis, even when people say you can just look at it and find the answer, because I...

  3. NCLEX correct order of PPE removal and donning?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to lllenjolll's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    this thread reminds me of a clinical episode where I was donning PPE, and prior to leaving the patient's room, I removed the PPE and put it in the trash, like everyone else before me apparently did...

  4. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    well that's good for you, but I don't see you turning down the nursing school spot that you got due to the same affirmative action that you are rallying against. I'm calling you a

  5. Calling all non-traditional nursing students!!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    35 here, just graduated from an ADN, studying for NCLEX and getting ready to move forward. it was hard, I worked part time on weekends and worked the graveyard shift weeknights to support myself, pay...

  6. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Who are you, the token member police? I can turn around and ask the same question about you vs some other female applicant that got turned down. Being male has no correlation to being a good nurse....

  7. An NCLEX question for you.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    I don't understand this thread...so we're just um debating the answers to questions someone made up? And who may or may not be an NCLEX question

  8. Should I tell the truth before I begin my program?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to tambat's topic in General Students

    bed making was our first skill that we learned in fundamentals! we had to learn to mitre the

  9. Anyone else want to burn their statistics book?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Students

    this is how stats was for me. Beginning - most people doing A's, some really struggled. Midway, Z-scores and probability - a few people hanging on to that A. Most are B's, people are sliding into...

  10. ABSN Programs allowing below 3.0 GPA's

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to alinita02's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure if it's wise to hedge your bet on the lower requirements. While that may exist, the reality is that the majority of applicants will blow past that minimum requirement, so it's not like...

  11. Are you the Doctor? (funny)

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    despite being in clinical uniform that were exactly the same as my female cohorts, on a few occasions a patient would refer to me as the med student and the others as nursing students. But then...

  12. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Correct, but that perception exists, whether we like it or not. So to a lot of people, when you say "nurse" they don't think anything other than someone who is working or has worked and has the title...

  13. Half of the class fails

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kblas's topic in General Students

    I agree with you for the most part, that there is a combination of things that contribute to someone failing, but I think it's kind of an unfair assessment to say nursing schools knowingly let people...

  14. Wrapping up my first semester

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to aeris99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just graduated and I'm turning 35. It definitely was not fun being one of the "elders" - and here's the killer - one of the clinical instructors was probably only a few years older than I am. Way...

  15. HIPAA/ Confidentiality Violation??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to thunigan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm just boggled as to why social media has to be such a presence in some of my cohorts' lives. they post EVERYTHING and this thread reminds me of them because while it's not so specific (like the...

  16. Medsurg Question

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to 16mm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. Half of the class fails

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kblas's topic in General Students

    Same here, I just graduated from my 2 yr ADN program with 56 or so people, started with a little over 90. It's supposed to cap at 90 but I think some people repeat so they let them back

  18. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Like I said, we got you. You have an opinion (which you feel you need to repeat over and over, I can only assume you think you're correct). But other people have their opinions too. My comment was...

  19. Half of the class fails

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kblas's topic in General Students

    That's a huge class. Second semester is the 'weed out' for our program, and it's kind of a tradition, so I can't blame it on the teachers. People fall behind, the material is dense, there's a lot of...

  20. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    No, we got you. We just didn't agree. I'm not sure you're getting

  21. Liking members at AN

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how that correlates to anything. And besides, I was born in the 80's, I'm sure we've been using the internet for just the same amount of

  22. Motivation/Inspiration

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to jfantacone09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Failing doesn't make you any less of a person. I had nursing school friends who failed out by less than a point. our school doesn't round up so the minimum they set is what they expect. They were...

  23. GPA lower than a 3.0, can I still be a nurse

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to twaugh1's topic in General Students

    keep in mind that you are also competing with other candidates who may even be lower than you GPA wise or deficient in other areas (TEAs, higher GPA but mostly non-science, etc.). I was in a...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    A permit to practice nursing? I've never heard of this. What is
