  1. Repeating 1st semester of nursing school:(

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to turbohound's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dude.. (hugs)... I feel your pain. Been there. Dealt with that. Almost made me wonder if it was the same exact professor. Only my situation happened with one day left before graduating. I too wondered...

  2. I found some white shoes pretty cheap

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to studentADAM's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey, that is a good deal. White Rockports got me through nursing school. I ordered a pair like that online for $90, and when I got them, I learned that Rockports idea of white was really off-white....

  3. Starting ADN, with my wife

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to XYnurse2B's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You two will have an advantage, since two heads with the same material can be better than one! And there'll be no arguments over why there's no time together since you'll both be studying together. A...

  4. I did not study for the final....

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    ... and still pulled off a B+ in the course. One of the professors did the shame shame finger rubbing thing at me. "Did you even study for this exam?" Nope. She said she'd figured that. All I got was...

  5. I did not study for the final....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One word comes to mind: TOAST. I think you'll begin to understand the mindset when you are approaching the end of your final semester. If you stand to pass the class with a grade you'll be satisfied...

  6. Just Two More Clinical Days to Go!

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Clinical ends six days from now. The last day of school is 10 days from now. The cruise we go on to celebrate this monumental achievement is 34 days away. This week I saw the professor that gave me...

  7. Just Two More Clinical Days to Go!

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Mike, here's a tissue. LOL I did it, in case you did not see my other post, titled :-) :-) :-) :-)... I'll be graduating. Pinning is on Thursday.

  8. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have not missed any clincal days. Others in class are talking about which day they're calling in because they never missed a day either. One professor actually said she does not mind when students...

  9. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Michael, I've been on this board, sharing my story, airing my issues, and pouring it all out for a long time. Anyone knows that I'm certainly one to step up to the plate and beyond. Whine? Me? Nah....

  10. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Insurance = peace of mind = better mental health. But I'm still going.

  11. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As for the insurance theory: BINGO. Give the man a prize. As for the rest of the post: Thank you. You understand, Timothy. Thanks all for all your posts.

  12. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I get what you're saying. I agreed with your first response too, even if it struck a nerve. If I were preceptoring, I'd have a hard time with a student blowing off the day too. I've been in situations...

  13. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I guess neither you or Sty really know my story. And there's no way that an internet forum can relay the nuances of what we say here. I agree with what both of you said. Absolutely. Just don't lump me...

  14. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I really am torn over this. Other people are planning taking a day, calling it mental health day. I think I deserve a mental health day too. Having had to repeat the whole semester after getting to...

  15. A little cushion means less pushin'

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Took a test today. The third exam of the semester. After this comes a final. Unlike previous semesters, they tell you your grade right away. Nice to not have to wait. This afternoon I got home,...

  16. Three Clinical Days to Go

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    This was a tiresome week. Tuesday I rode my bike to school, got there late, sweaty, but glad to have been able to ride. I did not miss much. We're doing "seminars" where classmates get up and make a...

  17. Just 26 Days until I finish what I started

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I tell people I only have 5 more clinical experiences left to go through, and they're all saying "wow, so close to the end, you're gonna make it". This is even with knowing my history. I'll know I've...

  18. Here it goes...

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to jackothedrummer1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It can be very scary, but very fulfilling. The right attitude is key. Coming to the realization that music - something many people love - is wonderful, but in the real world nursing might take you...

  19. Just 26 Days until I finish what I started

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks, Don. It's nice to know that putting this out there can actually help somebody. And thanks for the hoist. I look forward to raising a glass myself.

  20. A little cushion means less pushin'

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Same line of questioning. Changed up a bit here and there. Besides, last year I was so out of my mind, that I could not remember the questions after the test anyway, so they might as well be new. I'm...

  21. A little cushion means less pushin'

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Tweety. Congrats to you on 35,098 posts! I just noticed that you've been here that long and contributed that much. String those posts end to end and they could circle the globe, like maybe, 3...

  22. Graduating in 30 days!

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to KckStrt's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well now. Aint that something. Hurray for you! Cheers!

  23. 33 Days left, but who's counting!

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    ME, that's who. Tired of this number of weeks thing and feeling the need to make up lame rhymes. So, after week TEN, or is it ELEVEN (counting the week off for break), I'm resorting to counting the...

  24. After Week Nine, I'm feelin' Fine

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    The week went well. I had some moments when I did not feel all that well, and I started to become paranoid. I thought that some people were talking about me. I think it was an issue with my meds. I...

  25. After Week Nine, I'm feelin' Fine

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the concern about my mom, Don. She's still sore, but doing OK. The insurance company totaled the car, so Mom and Dad got a new one. Thanks for the kudos on school too. It's been a long...
