   You're still trying to get into a fast track BSN program. You haven't even started nursing school yet. How would you know how a nurse or a CRNA practices? Yes, your science classes are important as the other posters have explained. Don't ask ques...

3. Need to vent

   cube replied to NurseLily22's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the previous posts. You should transfer out of the ER. It is not for everyone. It is not 'job hopping'. ER just is not the right fit for you. Talk to your manager and ask to shadow some other nurses in other departments to see what ...

8. Advice for stressed SRNA

   cube replied to Ojodolu's topic in SRNA

   I'm an SRNA 9 months into the program, and I'm feeling the way you do. I feel like the job will be great once I have finished school, but 19 more months seems so far away. It is really depressing, however, I worked too darn hard to get to this point...

    cube replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in CRNA

    An anesthesiologist told me the same thing. However, if one has already gone through the process of applying and interviewing for Med school (apparently while being in CRNA school), this person has already made up his or her mind. This question wa...
