  1. Dansko sizing

    They are indeed supposed to be loose so I don't think I would keep the ones you just received. I'd check the return policy before you proceed with your next order. Maybe you can try both. Ideally, you would want the pair to fit as the ones did in the...
  2. Cleaning Scrubs. Need a consensus.

    I wash my scrubs in cold water and air dry them on their hangers. I haven't had any issues with pilling/wrinkling. Good luck!
  3. New Grad

    The biggest piece of advice I can give to you as a new grad (whether working in med/surg, neuro ICU, ER, etc) is to bring a small notebook and jot down notes regarding the diagnoses/procedures/medications/treatments/etc you encounter. Look these up o...
  4. NEW RN: Need recommendations

    I definitely agree that taking notes on concepts you aren't familiar with (diagnoses, procedures, medications, treatments, etc) and looking them up on your days off will be enormously beneficial as you progress in your career. I recommend a broader b...
  5. Eating on the Night Shift

    When I used to work night shift I would wake up around 5:30pm, go to work, and have dinner (full meal that I would bring from home) between 9-11pm depending on how stable everything was at that time. Then around 2-3am I'd have a snack (nuts, fruit wi...
  6. Pencil and paper for CCRN exam?

    This might come in after your test date, but you can always try calling the testing center directly to ask what items are or are not allowed. Good luck!
  7. CCRN Help

    I'm sorry you have had to take the exam twice but I admire your perseverance! I agree with the above posters to review the exam blueprint and focus on your weaker areas (especially if they're in the cardio/pulm/multi-system areas). Sometimes it can b...
  8. Converse sneakers at clinicals

    I agree with the above posters; the final answer will be your school's specific policy. Even if they do allow you to wear them, the lack of arch support after 12+ hours may have you hurting! It might benefit you to go to a runner's store and have you...
  9. New Graduate in ICU

    It is completely normal and expected to feel this way when first starting! I went into the ICU with previous RN experience and the ECCO course completed -- and still felt overwhelmed and scared to touch anything! My advice: ask questions or for help...
  10. Duke CRNA Fall 2017

    Hi everyone! Good luck to all of those that have interviews coming up! Question: does anyone know when the application cycle opens (aka when it becomes available online)? I'm interested for next year but haven't gotten a clear answer from the Duke of...
  11. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    I actually just called Baylor directly and was told the pre-req courses need to be completed prior to matriculation, not the application deadline. Hope this helps anyone else who was wondering! =) Good luck to everyone about to start the program or w...
  12. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    Hi all! Congratulations to everyone who was accepted...and to those who weren't, it's not over yet! I'm applying next year for 2018 admission. Question: does the chemistry requirement have to be completed prior to application or prior to the start of...
