  1. What was your acceptance letter like?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Mine came in a "small" letter too. I thought it was another rejection letter (got rejected from a BSN program as well), since the "big" letters are usually acceptance packages and the "small" letters...

  2. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Residents have insane shifts where they are practically working 24 hours. Hardly comparable to regular MD's and nurses on floors outside of the ER, who have the chance to go home, shower and wear...

  3. How important are minors?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kgao's topic in General Students

    I have a bachelor's in another field outside of nursing. When I was applying for jobs in my field (Psychology), trust me, no one looks at your minor on your resume, in fact most online applications...

  4. Is this legal?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Kaaa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What was the

  5. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    hahaha that's like when I tell people I'm gay and I get the "oh that's OK" - um, thank

  6. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    And think of it this way...without patients, nurses, or any medical professional, wouldn't have jobs. So we do, in fact, "serve" - and patients have a choice depending on what hospitals to go to....

  7. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    LOL completely agree. I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar, but it has no relevancy as to whether someone is a competent nurse or not, or any reflection on a nursing program, even. Now when that...

  8. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Agree. My school does the same, we're all addressed as one single entity instead of having the individuals be addressed. I don't necessarily think that e-mail was bad, though. Ineffective?...

  9. Guest What? I graduated!!!!! 12/19/14

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Success4all's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on passing. Can I just point out that it's "guess what" and not "guest what" - I see so many competent nurses with bad grammar and spelling (not knowing the difference between...

  10. Just graduated but I am sad

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Ozzy84's topic in General Students

    You mentioned you had complained to the chairperson about her. Rule #1 in Nursing Fight Club is never to retaliate against those who hold the upper hand. And she clearly did and your friends paid...

  11. Starting Nursing School in January and I Got Summoned for Federal Jury Duty!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to afowler77's topic in General Students

    I've been summoned before. You unfortunately will need to miss one day of school to go to the summons, but when you are selected for a jury pool, the judge will ask if anyone has any hardship that...

  12. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to JB131's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it's for the best. GrnTea's response, while it can seem harsh (personally I appreciate a cup of GrnTea every now and then) is every bit correct. The students who barely skim by are the...

  13. C in Fundamentals

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to green_girl's topic in General Students

    A C is hard to get in NS, ask all the people who fail out. Of course, always reach for the highest star, but don't be too hard on yourself for getting "only" a C. Everyone on this board knows how...

  14. My letter came...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've seen LVN postings and had no idea what it was either, but I didn't want to sound stupid so I didn't ask LOL. Thanks and

  15. Acronyms: Where's the COW?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I actually don't know what PITA (the medical acronym) is...can someone enlighten me? During that SARS outbreak we had to stop putting SAR (subacute rehab) on the discharge board cause the house...

  16. Failed by less than a point

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to skazen's topic in General Students

    to add to what Esme

  17. How I got an A in Med Surg 1

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Krimrose's topic in General Students

    funny because I do almost the same thing. I'm totally anal retentive though so I read the assigned chapters even though I know it's more info than I'll need, but somewhere in the back of my mind it...

  18. The most frustrating part of NS..

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with policies about rounding up. We are dealing with human lives out in the real world, the difference between a B+ and an A student might be what saves or kills a patient. Gross...

  19. sterile technique

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to annanichole333's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    our school teaches us the 1-inch border also, move further inland (like 2 inches) and it's considered

  20. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    I don't see it that way. I went back and read your responses - first of all, you incorrectly stated that OP failed 2 nursing programs, when that was not the case. So your whole argument was on your...

  21. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    ^ for reals. The people on this board sometimes... OP: submit the paperwork for the appeal, and wait. That's all you can do. In the interim, go over the materials, let them know if given a second...

  22. Lack of new graduate jobs

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to LondonFog's topic in General Students

    I find that people who worked as aides or even other positions in hospitals during NS tend to have a better chance since they already know the hiring manager. I saw it at my hospital when I...

  23. Pocket References For Clinical?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MurseJJ's topic in General Students

    We're not allowed any pocket guides. we're expected to know our Fluids/Electrolytes values, etc by

  24. The Great 'Scope Debate

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Students

    I thought of this thread cause I got a bad cold and went to the doctor, and she listened to my lungs through my sweater and said I was wheezing. I noticed hers was the Littman III. Is it really...

  25. What percentage make it?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    2.5?? That is low...no wonder everyone is clamoring for a seat, and then failing
