  1. Prayer in the Workforce

    Krzysztof replied to Schoolrat's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I reject organized religion for myself. That being said, I will pray, dance, sing, and shout if I believe my patient will benefit from it. I am not above playing a role in the name of excellent

  2. Escort/witness for exams?

    Krzysztof posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey guys - I'm curious about this. What is your workplace policy or personal policy regarding the use of a female escort (not that kind) or witness when performing an exam or other "under-gown" care?...

  3. Escort/witness for exams?

    Krzysztof replied to Krzysztof's topic in Men in Nursing

    Absolutely! That's why I'm curious to learn how prevalent it might

  4. What is the best TEAS prep from your experience?

    Krzysztof replied to T_hall's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    For books, I highly recommend the official ATI study guide (and ATI online practice tests); 5 TEAS Practice Tests by McGraw-Hill; and Cracking the Nursing School Entrance Exams by The Princeton...

  5. Best Places to Buy/Rent Student Books

    Krzysztof replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    I've had nothing but great experiences with CampusBookRentals. And there's almost always an 8-10% promo code floating around online. Tip: Free shipping is just as fast as the expedited. Save a few...

  6. I need all white leather shoes for my program. Any suggestions please?

    Krzysztof replied to unknowngenius10's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a Skechers guy and found their Keystone work sneaker which comes in all-white. Unfortunately not available in wide width though. Amazon.com: Skechers for Work Men's Keystone Sneaker: Health Care...

  7. A&P Studying

    Krzysztof replied to mw1179's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hadn't used 3D models, but I take every opportunity to recommend Khan Academy for studying nearly any science. Completely free, too! They have a very good A&P section:...

  8. First week of nursing school is over!!

    Krzysztof replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Students

    I'd been waiting for this week for so long... and it was great! It was mostly a preview of what's to come, but it's got me psyched! I'm thankful to have completed all of my gen ed courses in advance...

  9. Joining AAMN

    Krzysztof replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Being that we make up 6% of the nursing population (per Johnson & Johnson), I would think there is probably some benefit to having a nationally recognized voice. That being said, I don't know very...

  10. Perfect App for Nursing Students

    Krzysztof replied to JulietGause's topic in General Students

    We advise our staff and providers (especially the super-excited incoming residents) to even avoid taking photos of one another while in patient areas - due to the opportunity for something as...

  11. Laptop/Tablet

    Krzysztof posted a topic in General Students

    Any recommendations for great classroom laptops/tablets? I'd love to hear what works (or not) for you. I need some "ME" shopping ideas for the post-holiday sales; just in time for classes to start in...

  12. First-Time Clinicals --Looking for Advice

    Krzysztof posted a topic in General Students

    I've been an AllNurses reader for quite some time, and while I know that many perennial topics have been "discussed to death," I also know that new threads often elicit fresh thoughts from...

  13. Crocs

    Krzysztof posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    While Joe Pike would never be seen in them, I've taken many a trip to Wal-Mart or the supermarket in sweats and Crocs. Now that I'm starting nursing school, I'm thinking some no-vent "pro" Crocs would...

  14. Laptop/Tablet

    Krzysztof replied to Krzysztof's topic in General Students

    I'm def an Apple device guy (iPad, iPhone, etc.) but never had a Mac. I always feared compatibility issues, though I know those are pretty much gone now. What model(s) laptop do you

  15. Crocs

    Krzysztof replied to Krzysztof's topic in Men in Nursing

    We can wear all-white sneakers, which I'd buy in a minute... except that they need to be all-leather (no mesh component). That makes them like boulders to me. I'm used to running sneaks, not...

  16. Secret Santa

    Krzysztof replied to Salzb2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Meh... I wouldn't risk the horror of pulling the name of one of those NAs you appear to invariably detest. They're surely too busy "walk[ing] around in slow motion with glazed look in their eyes" to...

  17. Atheism in nursing

    Krzysztof replied to pugmom79's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'll admit that I have not read this thread, primarily because I find organized religion to be the most wretched of scourges known to man. HOWEVER, I am not above playing a role that I find beneficial...

  18. Pre nursing gpa or overall gpa?

    Krzysztof replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The programs I applied to were most concerned with grades in A&P, chem, micro, and stats. I took (or re-took) these courses at the college level to ensure the best possible grade; however, I would...

  19. Where is everyone from in the world?

    Krzysztof replied to Kiwiguy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    U.S. Originally from Connecticut; now in North Carolina. Starting ADN program in 1

  20. Male RN in Forensic Role

    Krzysztof posted a topic in Forensic

    #1: Please forgive me for potentially duplicating previous posts. Should you redirect me to a different thread, I would totally understand and appreciate it. My cursory search did not provide an...

  21. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte

    Krzysztof replied to taylorkathleen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, and I really don't know what to say except that I'm sorry it's happening to you too. Just unbelievable. They waited until the LAST DAY before acceptances were to go out. I'm sure this was in the...

  22. Any Mercy School of Nursing Spring 2015 Prospective Applicants

    Krzysztof replied to tyallen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  23. Please share your "calling"

    Krzysztof posted a topic in General Nursing

    #1: I'll first apologize for the fact that this probably sounds like 1,000+ previous threads; however, if you really stop to think about it, don't most of our "new" threads closely echo something from...

  24. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    Krzysztof replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    If back hair ever became an issue, I'd be up on charges. Just sayin' is all.

  25. Overweight/underweight Nurses

    Krzysztof replied to TheSkyIsPurple's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm more cynical than most. Don't go by me. I don't mean to be a meanie. Someone with a broader view will correct
