Hello everyone, Here are some of my answers and experience. I attended one of the orientation sessions last summer before applying. Dr. Gold and the CRNA department professors are there to give some background about the profession, the program and ...

Hello, I attended Loma Linda's RN-BSN program. I loved my experience. I can honestly say that my time there was life-changing. For one, I am becoming more and more vegetarian since I attended. I am not religious but I deeply appreciated their holisti...

I fit the bill. End of July will mark my first year in ICU, and I have worked in step-down, home health, postpartum, newborn nursery and floated to a bunch of other units. What do you mean by highs and lows? Do you mean emotional highs and lows, fas...
