    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll be posting an

  2. Done with Eight... More than halfway there

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yippie. It was a good week. Got a hundred on the exam, so that was good. Clinical went well. Still need to do a paper. Don't feel like it.

  3. "How do you think you did?"

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yesterday I took the second exam of the semester. It's familiar material, I had all of my notes from last time, and when I sat down for the test many of the questions seemed like same line of...

  4. Done with week Seven, if it was May it'd feel like heaven.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    A little late on the update, but better late than never. I'm sure you're all waiting on the edges of your seats. NOT. LOL. I'm not the center of anyone's universe. Except for maybe my son's. He's 5...

  5. Six weeks down, and I'm still around.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Spent this week's clinical rotation as "team leader". Making sure all had what they needed, helped with any questions, even too many. Professor had to remind me not to assist the classmate acting as...

  6. After week Five I'm still "alive"...LOL, why wouldn't I be?

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    An update: Yesterday was the end of the fifth week, and I was "district med nurse" for Thursday's and Friday's clinical. It was fine. There were some meds I questioned, like heparin before an...

  7. After week Five I'm still "alive"...LOL, why wouldn't I be?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sure is. Today one of my classmates got to talking to me, and I wound up telling her about how mistakes I've made have become something I learn from. After it was over I told her I was concerned that...

  8. After week Five I'm still "alive"...LOL, why wouldn't I be?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Tweety. Tomorrow I'm "team leader". I showed my professor the written assignment on that from last year, and she said "you could just hand that one in". That's cool, isn't it. She knows I'm...

  9. After week Five I'm still "alive"...LOL, why wouldn't I be?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    We went over the exam today, and even though one question jumped out to everyone as having a "more correct" answer (you know how they give you two and expect the best of them), the professor stood...

  10. Horrid clinical uniforms

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Makes mine seem not so bad. They're allowing white scrub tops instead of the tunic tops now. I have one but not the brand they specify, so rather than hear it I wear the old tunic top that fits me...

  11. I did see this one coming...

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    OOPS... MISTAKE IN THE TITLE.. I DID NOT SEE THIS ONE COMING IS WHAT I MEANT. HMM.. MAYBE I DID AFTER ALL. FREUDIAN SLIP? Now onto the post: After the snow day cancelled the exam, and we got an extra...

  12. I did see this one coming...

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks, Timothy. Kinda puts it into perspective when you look at it that way. I will say though, that today there was a discussion with our professor where she asked if we'd heard that they gave...

  13. Done is Four, Up Next Eleven More

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    And now, the weekly ND update. Tuesday's lecture ended with review of material to know for the first exam on Wendesday. Wednesday I went to school to take the exam. School's website said two hour...

  14. Are you man Enough to be a OB nurse?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm man enough. Some say too much. Expressing interest in that area raised eyebrows and wrinkled egos. Yet, on the flip side, this time around (my second time rotating through OB), I kept my mouth...

  15. Done with week 3, yay me.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Still in it. It's going well. I'm managing to be casual with the classmates, doing well at keeping self-disclosure in check, I think. I do not talk about myself with patients. One nurse saw me with a...

  16. Done with week 3, yay me.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ok then... a post a week it is. Then I get to keep coming up with witty titles. Like next week it'll be "Gone is week four, now 11 more" or something like

  17. woman's view, shocked at the emotional anger directed towards male students

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Gennaver's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Serio said "Wow, that sounds ludicrous especially about not working with the student if he only had one (1) clinical left. That is just absurd to hear and sounds like whoever dismissed them were on a...

  18. Week Two in the bag... another 13 lie in wait. Bring 'em.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks so much to everyone who posted on my week one post. I appreciate the kind words and attaboys. Thought I'd start another post and tell you about the second week. I can't begin to explain just...

  19. One week down, umpteen to go.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I got through week one. One of my professors is familiar with me from last time I took N204. She's the only one out of the three that sat there and said they probably did not do enough for me. I...

  20. Registered for the Spring semester

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I went to school on Tuesday and got my registration card from the nursing department, went over to the registrar, then to the bursar to pay my bill and get my schedule. I'm in. I appear to be assigned...

  21. I've got initials after my name, and they're LPN.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well hello there fellas. Long time no see. After the whole fiasco last spring, I took the summer to try to get my head on straight. It's close, but hey, I'm not sure it was on correctly to begin with....

  22. Me again... with news.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hi everybody. I lasted about 6 weeks as an LPN at a nursing home before I resigned, but left the door open, in other words, did so in such a way as they'd probably let me do a per diem or part time...

  23. Employed as an LPN, but unhappy.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey everyone. I completed my 3rd of a 3 week orientation at a geriatric facility... nursing home. I will be assigned to provide meds and "treatments" (wound care, etc) to 25 residents (patients). I...

  24. Employed as an LPN, but unhappy.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Tweety, This would be a lot easier if I was a new grad, of my RN program. Then I'd be adjusting to the reality shock, as you put it. And moving on with my career. This LPN thing I did, in an...

  25. Employed as an LPN, but unhappy.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with what you said. The facility is affiliated with a hospital, so I sent the nursing director over there a letter saying I'd like to work there. There's nothing available for me there at the...
