1. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

   Shanimal replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

   I'm not surprised you've resorted to personal attacks. I'll keep an eye out for your own thread about sexual harassment of male nurses. Have a nice day.

2. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

   Shanimal replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

   Yeah, and good for her. You say this as if it's a bad thing. Except that's NOT what this post was about, so stop trying to minimize what happened to the OP like it's not a big deal just because stuff like this happens to men too. Of course it hap...

3. 2.9 GPA Help me get into CRNA school

   Shanimal replied to futurecrnasla's topic in SRNA

   Need a few more details on this one. You mention your "first degree"--was this in nursing or something else? How long ago was it? How does your GPA since your first degree measure up? What is your science GPA and what sciences have you taken? Ha...

4. DNAP vs DNP With a Specialization in Anesthesia

   Shanimal replied to Carterjcr's topic in SRNA

   DNAP vs. DNP in anesthesia degrees creates a lot of confusion. Both are terminal degrees for CRNAs, and soon having one or the other will be the entry-to-practice requirement. The actual difference between the two degrees is that the DNAP is typica...

5. DNAP vs DNP With a Specialization in Anesthesia

   Shanimal replied to Carterjcr's topic in SRNA

   Incorrect. Both the DNP and DNAP are considered terminal degrees. Having one vs. the other as a CRNA does not affect one's prospects for teaching in a nurse anesthesia program. Both would be doctorally-prepared CRNAs. Also incorrect. There are ...

6. CRNA School with a young family

   Shanimal replied to ECRNICU's topic in SRNA

   I'm going through school now as a mom to toddlers. The amount of free time you have at any given point depends on how the program is structured. In my first two semesters I was able to continue working and still had a reasonable amount of time to s...

7. Least "demanding" nursing Jobs?

   Shanimal replied to carti's topic in General Students

   I have nothing helpful to offer other than to say, "Good luck with med school."

8. Staff in ED/ICU

   Shanimal replied to A_RN's topic in Critical

   I once worked in a facility like this. When I attempted, along with my nursing and physician colleagues, to provide evidence to administration why severe nursing staff shortages were unsafe in emergency and critical care settings, our concerns were ...

9. Do SRNA/CRNAs have to participate in elective abortions and sterilizations?

   Shanimal replied to udmgraduate's topic in SRNA

   The climate of medicine is certainly NOT more liberal. As noted above, intolerance is a completely different issue. The more recent cases that I believe you're referring to (i.e., a medical professional is prosecuted for refusing to provide care in...

10. Not sure CRNA is for me

    Shanimal replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in CRNA

    Agreed. Or they work in toxic environments they either can't or won't leave.

11. Central Line Placement and Masks

    Shanimal replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

    In the ERs I worked in, yes this was a policy. When there were emergencies in which every second counted however, not everyone who needed to be at the bedside could be properly masked up in time. This was acceptable as long as it was documented in ...

12. CCRN...STUDY PLAN?

    Shanimal replied to Mclarenrn17's topic in Critical

    To sit for the CCRN exam, you need to have spent 1750 hours providing direct care of acutely ill/critically ill patients within the past two years, and at least 875 of those hours accrued need to be within the most recent year. What that means is th...

13. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in SRNA

    Just my opinion, but I don't think the co-presence of an anesthesia residency and a nurse anesthesia program at the same institution is necessarily a bad thing, as long as the nurse anesthesia students don't have to compete against residents for the ...

14. Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Shanimal replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Learning

    You might also want to consider researching the graduate degree programs you would potentially apply to later on. Most program websites will include fairly detailed information on what is required for admission, including any undergraduate degree ac...

15. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in SRNA

    ^Haha sorry for the multiple edits in my above post. Not sure if it was something with this site, my connection, or whatever else, but my comment kept posting before I had a chance to look it over and make sure it was saying what I was intending it ...
