4. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

   jls189 replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Relations

   Never said I was "all knowing" and will never claim to be. Just try to see things from anothers perspective. We all go to work for one thing.....to take care of the patient. Attitudes just get in the way and noone benefits.

   I am not an ED nurse, but I totally agree with you. It's just one of those sucky things that have to be dealt with. I know that when I get a change of shift admission, it's not b/c ED nurses want to make my life miserable. It's just gotta be done. I ...

10. Accepted to CRNA school w/ Online BSN?

    jls189 replied to robert1083's topic in SRNA

    A friend of mine was accepted at Case Western, and her BSN was online. Cse is a top school. I would imagine that most schools would be more concerned with grades, GRE, experience, etc. I think the bachelor's is more of a technicality. We all know tha...

    jls189 posted a topic in SRNA

    Considering applying to Army CRNA program. I like that school is paid for in exchange for time served. Plus, I'm sure I'll get top-notch training. I have been an icu (cvicu/ccu/micu/sicu) nurse since '04. I have my CCRN cert, 1000 GRE, 4.0 with grad ...
