  1. Maternity Class

    Josh Runkle replied to longdistancehiker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I liked clinical way more than lecture. Lecture was like, "...And here are where your ovaries are..." And I'd be sitting there like, "...But, I don't have any

  2. Intimidated by being only male

    Josh Runkle replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Luckily, my school is about 10% men. The good news/bad news is that since I stand out by being a man, every single professor I have ever had knows my name. I walk by professors I had a class with a...

  3. Should, I be fired or quit for being stupid and incompetent?

    Josh Runkle replied to cjp1994's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Good providers learn from their mistakes. This obviously means that to be good you're going to have to make mistakes. Accept that and grow from

  4. Maybe Clinicals instructor doesn't like men

    Josh Runkle replied to Hardhands's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am in my last semester of RN. So far I have probably worked with 20-30 classroom professors/instructors and about 8-10 clinical instructors. I have really enjoyed almost every instructor, but I have...

  5. OSU grad entry 2019

    Josh Runkle replied to dillpickles's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, it does. There are upsides and downsides to doing this 5 year program at OSU. Upside: OSU is a top-tier nursing school, and you can continue to get health insurance during the two year break if...

  6. OSU grad entry 2019

    Josh Runkle replied to dillpickles's topic in School, College Programs

    I am in the OSU GE class that started 2018 and will graduate 2021. These are not “official numbers” but are just my experience and best guess. 90 were admitted to traditional masters and 90 were...

  7. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    I have no idea how competitive PMHNP was/is. Obviously, the people that apply for your class might be different than those that applied to mine. My very subjective experience is that applicants from...

  8. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I have heard from other classes, the interview questions have been slightly different every year. I don't remember my exact questions, but they were things like: -Why do you want to be a...

  10. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    I took physiology at OSU Marion before taking Anatomy. I don't remember the perreqs, but I didn't need to do Anatomy

  11. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    This thread is regarding the graduate entry option which is a combined RN/NP program. If you already have a BSN, you would apply to the traditional masters program, which is different. Good

    "Flip and See ECG" by Elizabeth

  13. Would you pray with a student?

    Josh Runkle replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Why not just encourage her to be herself and allow her to pray if she wishes, and you could silently sit and agree with her and be there for her with encouragement of her needs/desires, but not...

  14. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    My status changed from "pending" to "decision" somewhere between Friday night at midnight and Saturday morning at 4am (I got up to feed my daughter and saw the change). I accepted Saturday morning...

  15. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    Did you go to one of the information seminars before applying? I know that from the notes that I took the FNP program was specifically looking at applicant's personal statements, resumes and...

  16. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    OSU has a 1 year master's in bioethics. It's completely online with the exception of a few

  17. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    Maybe that means you're waitlisted? Or perhaps the program you applied for hasn't released acceptance offers yet? What program did you apply

  18. OSU Grad Entry 2018

  21. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm in my mid-30's. I'm married with kids. I've worked in a lot of different fields from business to military contracting to health care. I have a BA in Classics with a 3.778 GPA. I have 7 years...

  22. OSU Grad Entry 2018

    Josh Runkle replied to missminac's topic in School, College Programs

    I checked today, just in case. There's still no information other than "pending". As to the person who claimed the possibility of someone already being admitted: I have a friend who is in the class...

  23. How old is too old to begin nursing?

    Josh Runkle replied to hramach's topic in School, College Programs

    No age is too old as long as you are willing and able to rapidly adapt to changing situations. I work in EMS. 2 people I work with are in their 60's, and they are too old, since they cannot keep their...

    Josh Runkle replied to Hannah8708's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds pretty normal. I am taking 21 credit hours (12-18 is full time, I got a waiver for 21). I am married and we have one 3 month old. I work 3 jobs and watch my daughter anytime I am at home. I get...
