  1. A New Way to Pay for Nursing School: Income Share Agreements (ISAs)

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to Stride Funding's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are better ways to approach this. A company like Stride CAN work for people but you have to understand what you're getting into. You're going to be basically paying more money for someone to...

  2. Nurse externship or CNA?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to futurenurse111's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can do both. Personally, if I didn't have to work while I was in school, I'd just pick the externship. But since I had to work, I ended up working and then did an externship on top of it. Long...

  3. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Does it still do what we created it to do? If my business became government owned, but I still ran it and I still did my job with it, that's a win, because now we have the resources to grow....

  4. Med-Surg/Adult Health Practice Questions/Strategies

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to hobbyphotog's topic in General Students

    Your select all that apply are 4 or 5 true or false questions in one question. You have to trust what you know for them. Everything else, at a school level, most details in the question are going to...

  5. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    While the success depends on my decisions, the success has nothing at all to do with whether or not I believe in a god. For my morals and values, no, they wouldn't affect the choices I make, because...

  6. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

  8. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    BS. If this is how you write in school, THAT is why you lost points. It's not because you're conservative, it's because you just type up a bunch of BS, pass it off as fact, even though you don't...

  9. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

  10. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What is with this new obsession that expecting people to not be racist, and expecting people to have to be accountable for their choices when they choose to kill someone, being called Marxism? It's...

  11. Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the way you know you go from one town to another in NJ is because there's a sign, while the way you know you go from one town to another in Texas is...

  12. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well here's a hint: SCIENTISTS weren't theorizing that it would get better in the Summer, because SCIENTISTS were already comparing this virus between Summer and Winter during the Winter....

  13. Cannot get in touch with BON

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to kateandtippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm on day 20 for waiting for my paperwork to get fingerprinted. I'm going to be living in NJ by the time I can finally finish my application for a license. They're awful. But they are calling back...

  14. Do places really turn you down based on school?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to Dezzyb95's topic in General Students

    If there's that bad of a reputation from the school, maybe. But let's be honest, how many jobs have you been turned down for in your life and given a specific reason for? There's a common trend on...

  15. People with asthma in England fear being harassed and denied services for not being able to wear a mask

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He's not a nurse. I dealt with people like him A LOT in another profession I had, they politicize an idea, and they think they're being some kind of hero by going to a source of it posing as one of...

  16. How Does This End?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People in other countries stayed home. If we're going to insist on being idiots, anything covering our faces is better than nothing, to at least do something to help stop it from spreading. And if...

  18. How Does This End?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know how anybody is surprised. We know Trump doesn't exist in the same universe as the rest of us when it comes to medicine. He believes that exercise uses up your heartbeats and kills you...

  19. I passed my NCLEX! Advice and encouragement.

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to sidominguez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not going to argue with you about if there is or isn't a god, but I'm going to address this for the people who don't believe in one. Even if there isn't a god, there are psychological benefits to...

  20. When to do Pearson VUE Trick?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to soontobenewgrad2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "The trick" is purely anecdotal stories of it working. The error you get is just based on a flag in a database that can be based on any number of different things. But regardless, if you passed, you...

  21. How Does This End?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the only reason he really changed his mind was because we were doing so bad with the recommendation of not throwing house parties and avoiding large crowds. If people could have just binged...

  22. How Does This End?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  24. How Does This End?

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you really a nurse? Because your post history is 100% political and arguing against extremely basic things that everyone in healthcare knows. You don't have to be a nurse to understand face...

  25. No motivation, depressed

    TheDudeWithTheBigDog replied to CRNAdreamer's topic in General Students

    And if you do need therapy, you gotta balance everything out. Not getting sent to Italy with the military doesn't mean you'll never get to go. As soon as you're licensed and have 1-2 years of...
