1. I have a M.Ed. and B.S. in another field

   scuba417 replied to harborview's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have a clear answer for you...sounds like either route you take to pursue a CRNA will get you there. The family issue will be a big factor to consider....the accelerated BSN program is very intense from what I understand and may leave you wi...

2. Starting all over--pipe dream or possibility?

   scuba417 replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Students

   Not a pipe dream at all.....we've had students that came into my nursing program my second year from a nursing school only 25 miles from mine. I say go for it! I don't think it will be frowned upon at all.

   scuba417 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

6. Gen Ed with RN program

   scuba417 replied to mayflower20's topic in New Nurse

   It's doable. I did A&P my first semester and survived, but I didn't get a lot of sleep. Work as little as possible if at all. If you can take Eng. Comp. a different semester or in the summer, I'd suggest that. I think 2 extra classes w/ nursin...

   scuba417 replied to vanurse08's topic in General Students

   Go over the basics of the nursing process to help you read the question and know exactly what it is they're looking for (assessment, intervention, eval, etc.) Also, dosage calc. for sure!

8. Family Doesn't Want Patient To Know?

   scuba417 replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

   Pt. has the right to know their health status. If they choose not to know, then that's also their right; however, it sounds like in this situation, the pt. should have been told.
