  1. REI Nursing

    I've posted the following in another thread. Please come and join in the discussion :)
  2. Infertility Nursing

    I'm just entering the field and I've seen that there's not a lot of support. The professional group over at ASRM seems barren (no pun intended), and I've been looking for textbooks on the subject, and the only book specifically written for nurses in...
  3. Fertility nursing

    Hello everyone, I know that this thread is over a year old, but I was wondering if anyone has found any luck with the search for REIN information.
  4. Please help me to understand

    Thanks rninformatics. Your reply addressed many of the concerns that I was stressing about. I eventually want to become an informatics nurse, but I might have a great opportunity at an outpatient center after I graduate. If I choose to take the po...
  5. Please help me to understand

    Does it matter where you get your clinical experience (i.e., outpatient services, surgery centers, etc)?
  6. Informatics

    Thanks Mariah for the explanation. That makes perfect sense. :)
  7. Informatics

    Thanks Mariah, I had another question. I'm just getting into informatics (learning about the field), so when you say Nurses with a nursing degree (including the one I have mentioned), will not be qualified for an Analyst position without years of ex...
  8. Informatics

    Hi Mariah, When you speak of technical degrees, does this include the MSN Informatics degrees that are popping up?
  9. Are CRNAs ashamed of being nurses?

    I'm not trying to be a smart alleck or anything, but I was asking Qwiigley's opinion of the the subject, b/c as s/he stated in the post that I quoted: S/he would like a 5-year requirement. I must stress that I don't intend to get into a debate. So if...
  10. Are CRNAs ashamed of being nurses?

    Riverside Community College in California has a 2 year certificate (PA). There are other colleges in California that also offer a certificate. King/Drew is a Bachelors; Western U is a Masters. Before I applied to nursing school, I checked out a few ...
  11. Are CRNAs ashamed of being nurses?

    Just a question: What do you think about PAs or AAs, esp the ones that get a 2-year certificate, being able to practice in this field with less than the 5 year experience requirment that you desire?
  12. I totally agree. I apologize if I came off harsh or offensive. That was not my intention, at all. You are right in that people will only learn as much as they desire. But believe me when I say, I am not one to believe that LPNs are not educated, ...
  13. Dilemma with the instructor

    That was perfect advice rnmi2004! I agree
  14. The previous poster had a good point about figuring out whether you are understanding the information presented or if it is not even presented in the first place. But I do object to the comment about ADN vs. LPN school. I'm in my first year at an A...
  15. Laptop in nursing classes?

    Hey Larry, That is a legitimate concern. If you write faster than you type, paper is probably best. And if you have a strong concern that a laptop might be stolen, I wouldn't bring it either. In fact, I was considering bringing my tablet to clinic...
