  1. I have not, I had considered it to see if it will help or not. I have been at a complete loss as to the cause of the issues, as have the doctors so far. The first time it ever occurred was playing basketball, then the next time was doing sprints, see...
  2. Yes I did take it for about a year with no success. It didn't keep these attacks from occurring or help them when they'd already begun..I had it prescribed prn. I was at first afraid to try it due to my resting HR being between 45-50 but the cardiolo...
  3. Prereq rigor vs nursing school?

    Like most of the other members that have replied I agree it kind of depends in terms of what type of learning you are best at, and probably even depends on your school specifically. My school had pre-reqs like college algebra, A&P I and II, Micro...
  4. BDN vs BSN?

    I think Pixie posted all the information you need to make your decision if indeed that is the college you are trying for if it were me I would greatly reconsider. When I was looking at school options I wouldn't look at any college that had under abou...
  5. Reading a few threads on here about places where a BSN degree is practically mandatory due to the competition for jobs got me wondering... Where in the US right now is in the most demand/need for nurses? I imagine that a good amount of smaller commun...
  6. Depends where you live maybe, or what your current job is. Is there an easy route to moving up/making a lot more at your current job if you stay? Is your current job something you really enjoy a lot? Are you located on one of the coasts or in a high ...
  7. Sick of managment but need 9 to 5

    I don't know if you have this available in your area, but I work 7-3 (flexible though, I could work 8-4...9-5..) at a small group home working with residents of disability (intellectual and physical). It is great, I love it, my schedule is M-F but I ...
  8. nursing concepts, death and dying,

    Not to jump too far off subject here but speaking of NDE, Josh Gates just did a fascinating 4 part series on the afterlife, including NDE from a handful of people and it was beyond words entertaining and incredible. This was on his show expedition un...
  9. How in the **** did he pass background to even sit for the NCLEX, much less begin nursing school?
  10. Trying to decide on nursing school

    Reading through this I basically saw myself in your entire post. I love animals, and I would love if I could have figured out a long time ago how to work with them on a daily basis (especially dogs) and make as much or more than nurse does. I looked...
  11. Omaha pay rate

    Saw your post is from a while ago with no replies, wondering if you were ever able to move here and start at a hospital? If so I would be interested in knowing the starting pay range or approximate. I just started as an RN in July at a group home he...
  12. MCC Omaha TEAS/GPA TO Get Accepted

    Graduated from their LPN program in May of 17 and from their RN program in May of 18. I don't recall right off my TEAS score, but I wanna say it was in the range of 77-79 ish..My GPA was 4.0 and yes I did have the additional points from the AP I and ...
  13. How many times did it take to pass the state test

    Back in June/July when I took it the majority of my class of 40 or so passed on the first try. I don't know if this is the norm, just what happened we took it. I would agree with the other poster that each time you take it that you probably have less...
  14. Any Over 30 Pre-Nursing Students Here?

    Hi. I am a 32 year old guy that just finished my RN (associates at a local comm college) this past May and passed my NCLEX in July. I technically worked full time through school and clinicals (32 hours to retain benefits). My job was super easy and l...
  15. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Just thought I would throw out what I know off hand. I know of a couple very attractive ladies in their 20s who are dating male nurses...you know the type that you see and you immediately assume they probably go for the richest most muscular guy arou...
  16. Dual spouse nurse family - HELP!

    Is there a possibility that one or both of you could get an 8 hour per day nursing job? I just graduated and my first nursing job is at the company that I was a med aide at before I graduated with my RN. My schedule is M-F 7am-3pm at a small group ho...
  17. New(ish) grad pay/negotiation?

    I am trying to get a feeler on how to negotiate or determine a fair pay for a newer grad. I graduated in May and got my license in July. I have been working at the group home that I worked at for 8 years as a Med aide (now a nurse). I am looking at g...
  18. So I have a question about applying for a hospital job. I graduated in May and got my RN license in July. I have stayed with the same company I have been with for the past 8 years, a group home that is not very medically needy. I transitioned from Me...
  19. New grad struggling to land first job

    Not sure about OP, but where I am located in a mid sized city, the traffic is really bad from about 3pm-7pm. So leaving for work at 6pm the traffic would still be pretty bad. Leaving for work at 6 am for a 7 am shift there is hardly anyone on the roa...
  20. Question about applying for hospital job

    thanks for the feedback, where can I find your blog? I didnt see it by clicking on your user name unless i missed it.
  21. Question about applying for hospital job

    I was primarily basing this off my belief that I needed to get hospital experience if I ever wanted to broaden my job opportunities, travel, etc. The facility I am at now basically is just a house, you assess them, chart, hang out with the few clien...
  22. Question about applying for hospital job

    Yes, considerable increase, I make pretty decent money, probably just as much as I would make anywhere else. The problem with my current job is no use of skills whatsoever other than really just assessing people and charting it and supervising the me...
  23. I've seen a lot about Western Governors, I don't personally know anyone who does classes through there however. I was wondering what people would suggest, in addition to WGU, as a good online RN-BSN program that is accredited. I have already looked i...
  24. Recommendations for all online RN-BSN

    Thank you for the reply. I appreciate some specifics about WGU that I had not hear yet, especially the state license issue I was not aware if you needed a certain states license. Did you feel overall that the difficulty of the work was pretty hard o...
  25. Recommendations for all online RN-BSN

    One other question I should have maybe added in, if I am licensed in Nebraska, can I do a 100% online program through any school in a compact state? I noticed some schools specify you must have "Texas state license", or "Florida state license". Does ...
