I wish you the best of luck with the results....good the whole thing is over I bet, I remember those days. The 75 questions is a good sign....mine shut off at 75 as well. You would have to statistically have missed over50 on the first set (so as not to ever be able to redeem yourself with the remaining 200 questions). good luck

It's nice to have a male posting here...I am going to be starting into an ICU straight out of nursing school...does anyone here have any thoughts about this move I am taking??advice??perhaps personal experience???

[Old_School]

Hi Guys . . . how you doin'?

[wtbcrna]

I started right out of RN school into the ICU, but I went thru a critical care nursing residency program at my hospital. Everything worked out for me. I wouldn't recommend it unless they have very structured training program.

Good Luck!

To that I would like to ask you guys if y'all have heard somthing to this rumor:travel nurses may have a chance to work in Iraq ,due to a shortage of military nurses?,working 6 month rotations,for an outragious sallery and benifits package?If any one has heard somthing to that,please let me know and your oppinions about that are welcome.James

I figured lucrative travel jobs would be in those few countries with loads of money like Saudi Arabia. I bet there is plenty of nurse volunteer work in Iraq.

Not that I have heard, but with the amount of contractors over there, it really wouldn't surprise me. As far as I know, we are not back filling Military positions in Iraq with civilian nurses. Operational concerns always outweigh the needs of the stateside hospitals so I doubt there is a "shortage" of military nurses in Iraq to support our troops.
But I could be wrong!

Hey guys, good to join you. Where are some more of those jokes Crumbwannabe? Are you still listening in KarenG?
How about bass fishing, any enthusiast out there? I personally fish bass tournaments all over the central and southern US and love it.
