  1. How did you study for A&P?

    Zooey72 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Bad profs can be overcome with youtube. Find out what the prof wants you to learn, and than go to youtube and find someone who can explain it in a way you can understand. Be sure to get from your...

  2. Case study - me.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I had minor surgery today. I have/had a cracked tooth and went to the dentist to have it pulled. I want an implant to replace it eventually, but that will take a couple of months. At any rate, "why...

  3. Nursing Student with a few questions

    Zooey72 replied to Nurse2bQuestions27's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Economics 101 is supply and demand. There continues to be much more demand than there is supply; that increases wages. "Union busting" is more of a political statement than anything else. Others...

  4. Nursing Student with a few questions

    Zooey72 replied to Nurse2bQuestions27's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Depressed nursing wages has not happened, and is not going to happen. Anyone here can google and find out that the median income of a nurse (as in 1 person) is 67k a year. The median HOUSEHOLD...

  5. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Zooey72 replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have never understood why this is an issue. Up until recently no one I have ever worked with has known what my sexual orientation, because it is not relevant to my work. The only reason people...

  6. Clinicals

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I really got the short end of the stick when it came to clinicals and I have no idea why. Last week was the "rush" to get our clinical time/location which consisted of a webpage being brought up, and...

  7. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Zooey72 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with being a burger flipper. I was a pizza maker when I was 16. Had I stuck with that job, and I could not elevate myself past pizza maker in 30 years it is not the evil...

  8. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Zooey72 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    The reason we have not had runaway inflation is because the rest of the world is doing worse than us and the dollar is strong because of it. I do not want to play Russian Roulette with our economy...

  9. What does this mean?

    Zooey72 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the TEAS I had to look up some old grammar that I hadn't used in 2 decades. The test itself isn't too bad, but anything you haven't used in 20 years is going to need to be reviewed. It is very...

  10. Prerequisites

    Zooey72 replied to emerriwe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are working full time I would only take 1 science class a semester if you want A's. I know some people who doubled up on them and managed B's, but I am not aware of anyone who pulled A's while...

  11. Clinicals

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Thank you commuter and BSNdone. My clinical, unlike the other places that were assigned has "ICU" in the description. My understanding is they float you around the hospital corresponding to what you...

    As far as a constructive post goes, the Ratio is

  13. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Zooey72 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    All that is very true. I do not think that our politicians are so economically ignorant to think that raising the min. wage is going to take anyone out of poverty (or at least I hope not, if they are...

  14. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Zooey72 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    There really is no 'opinion' to this. Raising the min. wage will lead to inflation. My wife started out making 11 bucks an hour at her job, and after over a decade makes 15.50. Do you really think...

  15. Nursing Tutor?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I am considering paying for a nursing tutor before each of my exams. A quick search showed they charge 40-70 an hour, and I am prepared to pay that if it is worth it. I have an advantage of being...

  16. Prioritizing

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    Just had my nursing orientation today and what strikes me with the difficulty of nursing school is learning how to prioritize. I get where there is no right answer, but what is "most right". To that...

  17. skipping graduation/pinning?

    Zooey72 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    No interest in it at all. Once I pass my classes and the NCLEX I won't ever think of the experience of going to nursing school again. Not for any bitter reason, I just don't care. That part of my...

  18. The rudest thing that's ever been said to you by a patient or family

    Zooey72 replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I am not a nurse; but I hope to be one soon. People in hospitals I can not relate to yet. However, I am 44 years old and I have a long history with a$$holes. Before I started nursing school I...

  19. Are you the Doctor? (funny)

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am a bit older and male. My wife made an observation that I thought was kind of funny. She said because of my age and gender people may mistake me as being the doctor, and that made me think....

  20. Need help

    Zooey72 replied to daatadeen17's topic in Nursing Career

    A lot of variables there since you don't know where you will be in a year's time. If you are determined to follow him where he is deployed he may end up in Korea, or some other place that is not...

  21. Paid lunch or 13 hour day?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I am just curious about how lunch works with a typical 12 hour shift. I assume that whatever shift you are working your 'mirror' relieves you and vice versa. They say you work 3 days a week for 12...

  22. JJC 2017 Spring nursing applicants TEAS V score

    Zooey72 replied to BCE2802's topic in General Students

    I got a 75 on my TEAS and got in. My score should have been higher but I ran out of time on 2 of the sections and that dragged me down a lot. All schools are different, but mine did not weight the...

  23. Nurses, should I have kids now--or later?

    Zooey72 replied to chubbybunnie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd put the kids until after you get a 2 year degree. My thinking is this: Your husband gets laid off or some other tragedy, your kind of screwed. I don't intend this next part to be mean, because I...

  24. Can I still be a good nurse if I'm bad at math?

    Zooey72 replied to Lorna234558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of the stuff on the TEAS was pretty easy. I did not do as well on it because while I was studying I noticed when I graded what I had done almost all of my mistakes were because I hurried and...

  25. Pre-Requisite Help!

    Zooey72 replied to micahg714's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to finish prereqs in a year I would only take once science class a semester (unless you have to take chem, my school did not require it). The science courses is what is going to eat up...
