1. This is becoming boring

   rhinoroc replied to Juanito's topic in CRNA

   Considering the possibility that all of the problems and questions people post on here are first world problems, there's probably no need to post such a comment. It's just rude, annoying, and not helpful.

2. How old is too old?

   rhinoroc replied to Tangielee's topic in SRNA

   I know a few nurses over 70 in a clinical setting and they bring a lot to the table. I say keep a sharp mind and go for it! 15-20+ years of doing something you love and enjoy, if that's what you want, do it!

3. Crna school

   rhinoroc replied to Courtneyrn9317's topic in SRNA

   This all got awkward

4. Real Talk

   rhinoroc replied to CardiacDork's topic in CRNA

   Are you done yet? I don't think anyone is saying CRNAs are better than NPs. CardiacDork shared with everyone his taking of a different route and good for him to realize this and pursue something I'm sure he'll be great at. Can we just focus on realiz...

5. Neuro (ALS) question!!! Please help!

   rhinoroc replied to Ashalia21's topic in Student Assist

   I say go to a neuro floor in the local hospital and ask the charge nurse or unit clerk if they can think of any of their nurses that would do the interview. If you have a few bucks, maybe offer to buy them lunch or coffee. I know the idea may seem in...

7. Sloppy clinical instructor?

   rhinoroc replied to Potatoskins's topic in General Students

   That really shouldn't have happened. You'll have so many more opportunities and meet patients who don't care if all the students are in there but the patient who is uncomfortable with even one extra student should be protected. Patient advocacy is hu...

8. Would this be a good way to increase my chances at an ICU job?

   rhinoroc replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Critical

   Sorry this happened to you. It sounds like that day manager felt he was a lot more important than he really is. Management positions in healthcare don't often last forever, so I would keep in touch with the night manager if at all possible and try ag...

9. UT vs TCU CRNA school

   rhinoroc replied to TXCVICURN's topic in SRNA

   I've wondered which schools were better myself. Last I remember TCU is pretty expensive isn't it? Is UT comparable or a lot less?

10. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    rhinoroc replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Hang in there, it'll get better. I remember being told that nursing school is school and if I want it to be great then I need to make it great. It's what you make of it. My first clinical day was similar. Not very exciting but I was also going in wit...

11. I am an FNP-BC, but think I am interested in becoming a CRNA

    rhinoroc replied to hjosephs's topic in SRNA

    Because no one has responded yet and really I'm just curious, do you really want to work in the ICU to get the needed experience and then go back to CRNA school? You're plenty young to do so, I'm just wondering. Last I heard from an SNRA was maybe tw...

12. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    rhinoroc replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    Every single time I've complained about issues involving a co-worker, management (multiple units) has stated they want proof or for me to write down specifics (time, who's involved, what happened)...basically be a detective and do the hard work for t...

13. Ethical delema

    rhinoroc replied to Cclm's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that this happened and that you were there. I think it's a learning experience but I agree with you, it creates a HUGE ethical dilemma and it's hard to just sit back and wonder and wonder and wonder. Yeah you will eventually see A LOT more ...

14. CRNA

    rhinoroc replied to along2708's topic in SRNA

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Idk you obviously but I felt your pain in your original post. I understand that your rant could have come off the wrong way for some but the negativity of people in life who tell you no, you can't do it...it's frustrating. Way...

15. Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    rhinoroc replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    I'll just second many others, I've used Amazon and I think they're great. Everything is saved in your Amazon account (due dates, date rented, etc.) so it's easy to reference if ever needed and the return process is easy. As said already, you go into ...
