   cjscountry replied to akiverso's topic in SRNA

   Linnusik: Sorry to pry but just curious what you talked about when you discussed why you wanted to become a CRNA? I feel like I have some good reasons (I think) but curious what other people's reasoning is for wanting to become a CRNA.

2. How competitive is the acceptance to the U of U nursing program?

   cjscountry replied to impatientstudent's topic in Utah

   Does anyone know how competitive the RN-BSN option is at the U. I am putting all of my eggs in their basket so to speak, so I hope I get in!

3. Loads of questions, please help!

   cjscountry replied to Sweet_Nurse2B's topic in Utah

   I went to UVU (UVSC). Yes, pellgrantsdo cover nursing students. There is no waiting list at UVU, it is strictly competitive based. This is good because you don't have to wait, but you have to have almost all A's to get it. In the 5 pre-reqs I have 3 ...

   cjscountry replied to ggabri07's topic in General Students

   I always got a little burn out some time in the semester. The only advice I can give you is just to stick with it and before you know it, you will Be DONE!! Good luck

5. Maybe nurse anesthesia?

   cjscountry replied to KixRNoo's topic in SRNA

   Most schools that I have looked into want adult ICU not OR experience. Nurse in the OR don't really have the same monitoring/assess opportunities as adult ICU nurses.

6. Male Nurses in NICU?

   cjscountry replied to smelendez's topic in NICU

   I have been a male NICU nurse for the last year and have loved it. There are a total of two males out of 60 NICU nurses. Needless to say, I was a bit outnumbered, but I loved working in the NICU. Sometimes it got awkward when the moms needed to breas...

7. Young female patients

   cjscountry replied to corbinRN's topic in Male Students

   I worked in the NICU for 1 year and during that time there were plenty of young females breast feeding. I always asked them if they were comfortable having a male nurse in the room/helping while they breast-fed. Most of them were ok with it, but thos...

8. Poll: As a male in Nursing school, my goal/desire is to work in this area....

   We are all a bunch of adrenaline junkies according to this pole!!

9. Cheating

   cjscountry replied to nurz2be's topic in General Students

   Thats a hard one.... I would probably choose A and have a good talk with the student and never offer such help to those students. Plus, it might come in handy to have a bit of dirt on a fellow student lol

    I am a new grad and I just landed a job in our neuro ICU. I am nervous/scared/excited. I am going to be going through a six month orientation/training program, but it still makes me nervous. Good luck!

12. To Flu Shot or Not??

    cjscountry replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    At least you got asked if you wanted it. At my facility I was just told to get in the line for my shot. They said it was mandatory. Anyway it didn't make me sick and from what I understand it can't make you sick.

13. I hate nursing

    cjscountry replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Nursing has been a love/hate thing for me. To me it has been a means to an end. I want to practice as an APRN and I just finished had my last nursing class a couple of days ago. Don't stress about the "I love nursing" students. They annoyed me too. J...
