   Who puts in those central lines and intubates?

3. Will computers take over the CRNA profession?

   MikeJones replied to MosquitoXEL's topic in SRNA

   Robots are not doing the surgery "on their own". Surgeons behind a window are still controlling the robotic movements, etc. For example: the DaVinci. ATM, these type of surgeries last forever from what I hear because it is fairly new. In the near fut...

4. Help!Do I have to disclose my medical records?what about hippa?

   MikeJones replied to nursecat64's topic in Disabilities

   I feel that yes, you are worrying too much. Basically if you don't show them your records, it raises suspicion because they told you specifically to bring them. = no job for u. FYI medical records will be confidential, no coworker/manager will or sho...

   MikeJones replied to iceman1613's topic in SRNA

   Iceman! How many years of ICU did you have before you applied? And how do you get recommendation letters from managers or directors if they hate having GN's get 2 or less years experience and just bounce? I'm about to start working soon and I would ...

7. New grad interview help

   MikeJones replied to Newrngrad1's topic in Job Hunt

   Have you ever had a clinical instructor evaluate you? If so, you should have come across some weaknesses that they should have pointed out to you right there, unless you're perfect :) Those weaknesses can be turned into positives because hopefully yo...

8. What do you wear to an interview?

   MikeJones replied to LynnLRN's topic in Job Hunt

   wearing a suit is fine, just make sure it is not too loose/big and not too small but looks "fitted." To solve the "boring" funeral look, just wear a colorful shirt under the suit jacket.

11. When to apply for a job

    MikeJones replied to MCGNurse's topic in New Nurse

    its never too early in my opinion. The worst that can happen is HR will tell you to apply a little later, in which case you continue to bother them until they begin taking applications, and then you'll be at the top of the application stack, which he...

    Yeah my gpa was a 3.8 the 1st time i applied but with 0 hospital volunteering. The 2nd time i applied, it was around 3.6 but with 40 hrs volunteering. Weird, huh. I would keep it above 3.5 if I were u. I got into the spring class instead of the fall ...

14. BSN at UT-Austin

    MikeJones replied to meownur's topic in Texas

    i just graduated and got a job (although some ppl still haven't, due to the economy and competition). I think that 7 months should be enough, it sounds more then what mine was (like 40 hrs in ER), hehe. I started off in the gift shop, they let me hav...
