   jemommyRN replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in SRNA

   Its so true when you said that if a kid comes up and says he/she wants to be a doctor..they are applauded and encouraged. Even as an 18 or 19 year old inquiring about the medical profession..they are encouraged to do it, but if a 19 year old inquires...

2. CRNAs and bathroom breaks...

   jemommyRN replied to feelnopain's topic in CRNA

   When I shadowed my CRNA, there was about four or five times over a two hour period that someone peeped their head in and asked my CRNA if she wanted a little relief. She never accepted and told me that she is responsible for this patient and she want...

3. I actually like being a CNA - should I become an RN?

   jemommyRN replied to HospiceCarer's topic in General Nursing

   RN is a totally different position and although it encompasses some of the things a CNA does, its so much more that takes away from your patient interaction that you may not like it. I think you should follow an RN to see exactly whats involved befor...

   jemommyRN replied to lm8539's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with this post totally. Ive called MDs to clarify if thats what they really meant and even sumtimes offer other suggestions. Usually what I get is a rationale as to why they want to use what they ordered and NOT what I was thinking. Its usual...

   jemommyRN replied to backfrom10's topic in CRNA

   Congratulations on getting in! I dont really have any goods/bads about the schools but to me it seems it would be easier to accept the position where you live already so you wouldnt have to move and get acclomated to a new place if its not necessary....

   I havent interview yet (havent even applied), but a friend of mine who got in said he was asked to tell the difference between dopamine and dobutamine and when would you use one over the other. Also, the financial preparedness question and describe t...

   Thank you so much. This is exactly what I need. P.S. I do realize this was posted a couple of years ago, but still valuable information!

8. is she RN???

   jemommyRN replied to laura06baby's topic in General Students

   Ditto. I know a couple of people who have lied and said they are RNs. It makes no sense to me either.

9. How did you know you REALLY should be a nurse?

   jemommyRN replied to csab's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I knew that I wanted to be a nurse from the time I dropped out of nursing school. I never wanted to go to nursing school in the first place. I was supposed to be preparing myself for medical school but became weary and just graduated with my Bachelor...

    jemommyRN replied to mimimartina's topic in Louisiana

    This is why NACI is very different. This is what's going on with each disorder. For example, you will generally go through each system (Respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, etc) and you will discuss different disorders associated with thes...

    jemommyRN replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Louisiana

    if you go to charity, you could began working quicker and as you said earlier, bridge over to BSN or even RN-MSN. The hospital can then pay for you to bridge over.

    jemommyRN replied to Virgo_RN's topic in New Nurse

    I'm glad you posted this because I was thinking this exact same thing earlier. I wanted to plan out my day to the tee. But, that would only create more anxiety for me so I will come up with another plan.
