Jeeze, man. And they say nurses are compassionate...

There are thousands of MDs that started as RNs. It is certainly an option to drop out, however nothing is preventing you from looking into medicine on the side while completing your BSN. You can Always use your connections as a nursing student to see what the med side is like, as well.

How helpful...

True, ha!

I did boxing in the Marines for my last year in. I was a sparring partner with the guys that went for tourneys and such, so I trained hard and loved it. Picked it back up a few months back, and I now train 3 times a week. I'm seeing a huge improvement in my physique, so not only is it a great stress reliever, but it's a confidence booster, so it'll help prevent some of that stress in the first place. A word of caution, though. I wouldn't spar too frequently, and give yourself plenty of time to recover from hard hits. As such, I'm never entering a competition myself.

Hmmm...

Banterings, This is some really great advice! Thanks for taking the time!

I'm sorry my question makes you feel that way. I've been an unregistered visitor to AN since I first started working towards nursing school, and created the account last semester, but hadn't posted any other questions thus far because most were already answered in previous threads. I hope my question doesn't actually cause you to devalue AN, because AN has been such a HUGE beneficial resource for my classmates and I.

You're right about that! Thanks!

Well I'm 30, and I've never had this opportunity. Maybe I'm handling it wrong. Pardon the bizarre question, as it's not my intent to misuse this forum. Thank you all for the input.

Thanks everyone for the great responses!

Sorry if this question is in the wrong place. I didn't know how else to find this out. My passion is healthcare, and I'm fit now for the first time in my life. I was hoping there was a way to enjoy both.

Thank you, SaintlyJ! I know this question isn't life or death, and as a healthcare worker I know that the scrubs you're wearing don't count for jack when working a code, but I was really curious, and I'm glad for the help!

Pardon the attention grabbing headline, but I have a frivolous question about men's scrubs. I'm a guy (as is obvious from the title), a nursing student, and I work in a local hospital as a clinical tech/nursing assistant/patient care tech, what have you. I've always had the cheapest durable scrubs, but over the last 3 & 1/2 months, I've lost 25lbs, with 10 more to go for my fitness goal, and for the first time, in like forever, I'm looking kinda... well... hot. I need to change out my entire wardrobe, but I'd also like to look attractive in scrubs. Not just for work, but I volunteer frequently too, and I'm trying to live it up (seriously, never had this going for me before...), and I'd like to be attractive in scrubs as well. What are good brands and styles that provide some added sex appeal while remaining professional? *FULL DISCLOSURE* I have an ex that works on a different floor, and she hasn't seen me since our break up, 25lbs heavier. I would like to look great if and when she does.
