    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, the way my luck goes, it's usually my luckiest day of the year. I have been studying steadily for about a month, and doing 100+ questions per day, sometimes 200, looking over the rationales for...

  3. Taking NCLEX PN on Friday the 13th

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sure, we've got the quick results here. The staff at the testing center and the handout they gave me say two business days. I'll check the web on Sunday then just in case.

  4. Taking NCLEX PN on Friday the 13th

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I got there at 1:45 for a 3PM test appointment (never can tell how traffic through NYC's five boros will be, so I left way early). They were happy to let me in to sit for the NCLEX PN early. So...

  5. Taking NCLEX PN on Friday the 13th

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the well wishes. I'm feeling pretty stressed out right about now. Thinking I ought to be studying even more, not watching TV. I'm so tense. I must remember to breathe. Now I'm wondering. If...

  6. Somebody wants me!!!

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Good for you! It all happens the way it's supposed to happen. Ride the wave, dude.

  7. Electronics

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to fluffhead's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ya sure got me with the subject line. I'm a sucker for gadgetry and doodads. I've got a Palm Tungsten C that I've loaded with Davis' Drug Guide, Nurses Fast facts, an NCLEX review program, and a few...

  8. The look!!!

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to CTRNTOBE's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I dont get the look for being a straight guy going into nursing. For being 40, yeah. For being a guy who used to be a mechanic once, or my last job in computers, yeah, maybe. MOST of the time, I get...

  9. A post from me with a more upbeat theme, for a change.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Last week, for the first time, I had a dream in which I was a nurse. Finally. I'd never dreamt about it before. I can only remember waking up right after telling the recruiter that they'd have to...

  10. Any Nursing Students with Learning Disabilities?

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering. I'm thinking of making the suggestion to the admin that maybe there should be a board for Nursing Students with Learning Disabilities, since we often face another set of challenges....

  11. I did good

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    See, there ya go. You know what we as students are constantly asked? What is the priority? And we respond: Airway, Airway, Airway. Always. Breastfeeding is tough when the baby can't breathe. You will...

  12. I did good

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to catch my breath now. Even though I do not know you, I have to say I am proud of you. I am disappointed and downright disgusted that your instructor did not give your concerns any merit, nor...

  13. Spending the Benjamins

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I like to joke that I've got my first year's salary accounted for already. But there's some truth to it. Figuring I'll be starting close to 60K a year: A smaller more economical car than my 2002 Honda...

  14. Pre-Nursing Students with ADD

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have ADD. I found out when I was 34. I'm 40 now. I viewed meds as a crutch for a long time, but now have come to accept that I need them. Do I take them regularly? No. Do I see a difference when I'm...

  15. A good quote

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    One of today's quotes on my Google home page was this: "If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties." -...

  16. Another semester begins

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yesterday was the start of our semester. It's a whole different feeling this time around. First off, last semester there were only about 19 or so in the class. This semester, there are about 40, or at...

  17. Instructor is not letting me get female patients during clincal

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Bala Shark's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's happened to me too. I've had female patients in a clinical rotation with one professor, and then with others, no female patients. On the last day of my last semester's clincal, I asked the...

  18. Shy guys

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You're not a weirdo. You're here asking the question, which is a good start. Perhaps you might want to look around the internet for info on overcoming shyness. See if your school has a psychologist...

  19. Why I post here.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have quite a few posts on this board. The last one has 43 views and no replies, which is OK, but part of me wonders... Is it OK that I post what is on my mind? My trials and tribulations as a male...

  20. Why I post here.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Genhen. I'll continue to post... as soon as the semester starts I'm sure I'll have plenty to say. Right now I am doing my best to thoroughly enjoy my winter break. I am almost not sure how to...

  21. Will it wreck me? Would it wreck you?

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd been - up until now - thinking that I want to go into Labor and Delivery. I've posted before about what it took for my wife and I to finally have our son. 10 years of infertility battles, then 3...

  22. Will it wreck me? Would it wreck you?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I do agree, that was a great post NHNM... Honest, and reality based. Very much so. I for one have always had an easy time dealing with emotion, both sharing and listening, and I've never viewed myself...

  23. Why I post here.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

  24. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I did not know this post was even here. Another member pointed it out to me. I ought to be studying right now, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable with the amount of time I have before my final in 10...

  25. Why I post here.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    thanks for the responses. I did post on the general board a little while ago about the LD thing. I'll see what happens there. I'll give some thought to posting more on the general board if my issues...
