Nurses Men

Published

Hey everyone! After I get my BSN I plan to get my MSN to become a nurse practioner or higher. Can anyone please tell me what work in like in that area? I would also like to know a salary for a nurse practioner if anyone is willing to tell. I know this may be irrelevant but what kind of car do most high paid nurses drive? I am greatful for all the info I get! :)

After I get my sex change operation I plan to be an NP too! I believe that THE car to be seen in is a souped-up Gremlin. (yes, one of my friends actually did...and it looks totally awesome!)

Sorry for my irevelant question about the cars. I am 17 and I will be starting nursing school later this year and I really just wanted to know what they do at work. Umm, also I was not being sexist but I do know females do this job more so I just wanted to know if the males did the same thing. Sorry about before.

Daniel your question wasn't irrelevant because it is something you wanted to know, some of our members seem to forget what it was like to have a million questions and can be quick with the sarcasm. I think it's fabulous that you know exactly what you want to do at your age, I didn't have a clue until my mother told me to stop messing around when I reached 19 and to go and sort myself out with a career, she then arranged the nursing interview for me :D

Whatever you do, don't lose your curiosity and don't stop asking questions, it'll make sure that you have all the information you need to make your decision about your career

keep in mind, friend, that you need to go thru process steps to become an NP, and you need to be top of the class, or a really hard worker.

first you need to become an RN. this means either an ADN at a community or state college, or a BSN at a traditional college. if you go ADN, you need to get to BSN eventually, anyway. (traditional BSN degrees in 4.5 years, ADN to BSN in 5-6, typically. (50-60K$ for traditional to BSN, 30-40K$ for ADN to BSN - sounds like a lot of money. in reality it is, paid back at $100 per month for 10 years for every 10K that you borrow))

then you need to have 2 years clinical experience, generally in hospital. by this time you will be making 55-70K$ per year in most places.

then you need to be accepted into an NP program (minimum GPA of 3.4-3.8, and a bunch of other qualifiers), and borrow another 30-40K$ for another 2 years of schooling.

in the end, you will be making about 100K$ per year. if you do a few years on an indian reservation or in some impoverished city the fed.gov will eat most of your loans (and you will get mugged a few times and learn to like indian food)

That's why people with school loans need to just bite the bullet and pay it back like you would a vehicle - in four or five years.

And by the way, there is at least one thing male NPs can do that female NPs can't. I'll leave it to you to figure out what it is.

BMWs and electrical problems???

shocking....

Apparently they're a bunch of d*mn comedians, too ... :smokin:
