1. Is it possible to not work in a hospital as a new nurse?

   Gassyandiknowit replied to Brooke2009's topic in General Nursing

   It is definately possible to work in a none-hospital environment as a new grad nurse. Your pay will likely be significantly lower though, especially with no "clinical" experience to lean back on. Some options can be assited living/nursing home nurs...

2. Is there any online programs

   Gassyandiknowit replied to amos24's topic in SRNA

   I looked for online didactic portions for CRNA as well when I was first starting out. Unfortunately other than a semester or two of DNAP programs, I did not come across any. CRNA is the most time intensive program there is for masters in nursing (a...

3. Texas Wesleyan CRNA Interview helllppp!

   Gassyandiknowit replied to rippington's topic in SRNA

   I actually interviewed here as well as a few other schools. To be honest, this was the only school that actually tested me on hypothetical clinical situations. I found it to be odd considering it was a private school, and I more than met the qualif...

7. The most annoying student

   Gassyandiknowit replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

   Don't worry, every class has it's a-hole. He'll get what's coming to him when he gets to clinicals. I would suggest moving seats elsewhere to get away from him if possible. If it becomes too much, you can always talk to your professor about it. S...

   Congratulations on passing! The biggest hurdle is getting over the mental aspect of things. May you find success and happiness in your new career For anyone still working towards NCLEX, Kaplan is almost identical to NCLEX and I highly recommend pur...

   Hello Ready4Nurse, I know this is a bit late as I see you made this topic over the summer, but I wanted to start by saying excellent choice in deciding to go for your BSN rather than the ASN. This will make you much more employable, and open the doo...
