  1. I want to quit!!!!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ChaeF's topic in General Students

    ^ same plan for me. I'm only in it for the money, and I hate when people tell me that's not the right reason for getting into nursing, but at some point in my life, I would like to make more than...

  2. Low cost/Free Physical Exam, Immunization?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Good luck to you Tasha, don't let this scare you, there is always a way. My orientation for first sem freaked the people out who didn't have health coverage at the time (this was prior to the...

  3. Call bells in clinicals

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to neri1981's topic in General Students

    Not in my program. All clinical paperwork are to be done during post-conference, if we are caught doing it during clinical time, we get scolded too. If there is down time, we are expected to find...

  4. Follow Your Gut Being Productive and Choosing to Withdraw

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    Nope, not alone. In fact, I think anyone who can read all the materials is the odd man out, honestly. The volume of reading is simply too much for a typical person who needs to eat, sleep and have...

  5. Low cost/Free Physical Exam, Immunization?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Understood, but my point is, it is now illegal to not be insured. I didn't mean to make it seem like money wasn't an issue. Tasha - I mean a provider that you go to. Have you looked at the school's...

  6. Low cost/Free Physical Exam, Immunization?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Why are you not insured? This is what the whole Obamacare mandate was about. Under new healthcare guidelines (ie, you SHOULD be insured), physical exams are free through the providers as it's...

  7. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    No it's not. Tapping your finger is not the same as playing a trumpet during class. See where I'm going with this? Knitting is highly distracting - let's stop pretending like it's something...

  8. Should I quit?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    There is no shame in knowing when to quit, especially while you're still ahead. You made the right choice for yourself and it was a brave

  9. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    The only thing I would suggest the OP do is at least sit in the back so it's not a distraction to other students. No point in inconveniencing other people because of your issue. It's like people who...

  10. What is that stench??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to JessyHsn's topic in General Students

    ^ faze, not phase. watch out for those

  11. Clinical instructor that will not teach?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MAJ_15's topic in General Students

    To add, what's stopping you from seeking out the answers yourself? You're putting the responsibility on the instructor when clinical is the opportunity for you to learn and make the most out of it....

  12. To Nursing Students from a Clinical Instructor

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Can'tdragmeaway's topic in General Students

    beautifully written. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I thought my clinical instructor hated me and in turn I secretly hated her, but after the semester was over, she gave me a glowing review and...

  13. What is that stench??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to JessyHsn's topic in General Students

    Hmmm....I'm a guy and I am having trouble with this. So what do you do? Just spray the gel/foam on your hand and inhale it? or do you mean when you shave and the scent is still right below your...

  14. Exam question - Heparin Side Effects

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to luv2run851's topic in General Students

    Well it's a different definition of the verb to take. You take a bath, right? It's not the same as saying you take the car to the store. I guess it's colloquial. I've just never seen it written...

  15. I only held his hand

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to motay68's topic in General Students

    Great bedside nursing. I actually learned this trick when I was very young and getting my teeth extracted at the dentist's office. I saw the huge needle the dentist was going to use to numb my gums,...

  16. Exam question - Heparin Side Effects

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to luv2run851's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what's happening here. So luv2run, you are soliciting feedback on an exam question you

  17. Do I keep going after failing 2 tests in level 3?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to westtexasgirl's topic in General Students

    You can't blame yourself - NCLEX-style questions are hard - if they weren't, you wouldn't see such high failure rates for nursing students. As others have noted, practice the questions. I have found...

  18. Never let them see you sweat!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I honestly wish I sweat when I'm nervous. Instead I have the urge to take a royal dump. I'm not saying that to be gross, but it's true and we're all nurses/nursing students so I'm comfortable...

  19. Proud to be in scrubs??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I know how to sew so I hemmed my scrub bottoms, the length was simply too long for my legs. And this was a small! these sizes are quite loose use of the words "small" and "medium" - and they were...

  20. Professor tested us on the wrong topics

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    Thank you for enlightening

  21. Advice

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to hannahlynn1992's topic in General Students

    It is doable, one of the doctors at the hospital I worked at was a nurse prior to her medical degree. But know that it is a long journey - because anesthesiology is a specialty. If you are unaware,...

  22. Professor tested us on the wrong topics

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    My program runs those statistical analysis, and even when half the class gets it wrong, they do not adjust. it is merely for their information. We know this because we have exam reviews and a...

  23. Can I become a Nurse at 40?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to amoy36's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I started nursing school at 33 and I was afraid I would be alone, but as it turns out, there were plenty of people who were late 30's into their 40's in my cohort, mixed in with the spring lambs, of...

  24. Robert Wood Johnson

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to xos4eva's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From people I know, it depends on your experience, range anywhere from 65-80 (I know, pretty broad range). But it's union, also. So you'll be paying union

  25. 30 stages of nursing school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Students

    What about the stage where you realize it's after med surg and a quarter of the class is
