   you're in~ I got a little nervous last year too when I saw that - but I'm pretty sure you're in (you can always contact the PD for the official - it's probably a formality like you said)

2. University of Cincinnati Interview

   perkizme replied to determined2be's topic in SRNA

   The typical pre-SRNA (or RNSA if you're @ UC) advice is to enjoy your family/friends, relax, save up/work extra OT, take the best vacation you can afford, if you can- you can try to take some grad courses ahead of time, and if you want to review anyt...

   perkizme replied to determined2be's topic in SRNA

   Congratz! I do enjoy the program ~ its hard (as all anesthesia programs should be) but I know its all worth it and I know we truly do have one of the best programs (i think and so I've heard). Good luck~

   perkizme replied to vanillagerm's topic in SRNA

   I am a first year student and dont know it all yet (by far) but with many places in the hospital there may be radiation used during cases, in which case you would use the appropriate lead shields (unless pregnant or some other reason- you would leave...

7. CNRA programs and long-distance clinicals??

   perkizme replied to hallcrest's topic in SRNA

   Also, Univ. of Cincinnati- all clinical sites are within 20 min of school and most within 5min of the school (most hospitals are centrally located within the city of Cincinnati). We have many people in our class with families and children on the way...

9. Job for experienced RN?

   perkizme replied to krazenurse's topic in Ohio

   I'm at Univ Hosp in Cincy and I believe they're hiring in many units/floors because we're losing staff to school, travel nsg, families, etc. Earlier this year I think we froze hiring of new grads or at least unlicensed new grads, esp in to the ICUs,...

10. One to one assignments

    perkizme replied to bigmona's topic in MICU

    Agree with above for our hospital it depends on the patient, your judgment and if staffing allows. We are a level 1 in big inner city and therefore get very sick pts. Not unusual for our 24-bed unit to have 3-6 CRRT going at once- well we certainl...

14. Barking up the wrong tree?

    perkizme replied to 4amcoffee's topic in SRNA

    do not go into it just because you want to make more money- there are other ways to increase one's salary in nursing (do some research).. IMO this field needs people who are hard-core dedicated to the work and development of the advanced nsg practice...
