    Ekklesia replied to JustAWannaBe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ekklesia replied to JustAWannaBe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Heh, after 2 years of pre-reqs I ask myself this stuff every day, LOL. I'm trying to figure out what to retain and what to dismiss. A good example of non-relevant knowledge would be my upcoming...

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  10. Nurse Anesthetist Shortage

    Ekklesia replied to meandragonbrett's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  13. Poll for RN's: Do you have an ADN or BSN?

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I thought about that, and MSN also, but I wanted to keep it simple. This poll is an extension of conversations that I've had with fellow nursing students. Most want to stop at Associates degree, I...

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    An associates degree is usually non-terminal and is a minimum of 60 credit hours. While a bachelors degree can fit nicely as a natural extension of an AD, especially in Nursing, and is somewhere...

  16. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    Ekklesia replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Ewww :stone I am more concerned with the bountiful amount hair on my back/neck sticking out more than anything. There's no way a simple T-shirt can tame my man-sweater. Nope, I have to wear...

  17. Poll for RN's: Do you have an ADN or BSN?

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Please forgive my ignorance on the matter, but does “ASN” stand for “Associate of Science in Nursing”? And if so, I would like to point out that it would be okey-dokey to select the ADN...

    Ekklesia replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Do you ever get called, 'Doctor'?

    Ekklesia posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I get called "doc" or "Doctor" about 3 times per day. I feel bad about it, 'cause I'm not a doc. There is a definite societal stereotype going on here, but I can't help it. I usually say that I'm...
