  1. Brave, or just crazy?

    Support is the most important aspect of this post! When I started NA school, my oldest daughter was 5 and my youngest was 18 months. Currently in my last semester of classes and clinical ending in August, oldest is almost 7, middle is now 3 and I a...
  2. CRNA school with children

    :yeahthat: I think that this is the first time I have been truly angered by a posting.....avlis, I hope that with time, you can be a little more open-minded and DO NOT FORGET your birth control pill!!:angryfire
  3. Anyone start there nursing career in the OR

    Hi, I did CCU first, wound up in pediatric/general OR then CVOR, then went back to MICU to pursue CRNA school. The OR experience is priceless.....especially when starting clinicals. You know the environment, what to touch, and what not to. You al...
  4. what skills are you working on?

    Our program (Wake Forest) gives us one day in the holding room to brush up on those skills. I felt that same way, Focker, and after a couple of hours in the holding room, my confidence was somewhat restored! Of course, I was still nervous about the...
  5. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    :balloons: Well said! I am finishing up my first year of school with 6 year and 2 1/2 year old daughters! Yes, it can be done with an AWESOME partner! No, my children are not suffering....they see me daily! In the beginning, I thought that single...

  7. Moments of Terror

    Wow! I was doing clinical last week and lost power....fortunately, the generators did function and my patient was spontaneously breathing......I asked my CRNA if I got an A for the day since I didn't void or defacate during the event.....
  8. Miller vs Mac Contraversey!

  9. For All SRNA's/ RRNA's

    I agree! In the beginning of clinical, basic math (like for a drug calculation) was a challenge with certain instructors! I think that sometimes we are harder on ourselves than we need to be......my husband has to constantly tell me that "if I kne...
  10. Balancing family and school

    It definitely can be done! People have laughed when I compared these two things, but I promise, it is real! The feelings you had during your interview (catecholemine surge, nausea, diaphoresis, apprehension, etc) are the very feelings that you lear...
  11. Balancing family and school

    BlakeS, I am sure that you will agree by your comment that you made regarding the "quality study time does suffer a wee bit" that seeing your family is high priority. I am okay with a high B (even a low one at times) if it means quality time with fa...
  12. Balancing family and school

    I am a junior at the Wake Forest/UNCG program (which is an integrated program) and I will give you an example of my last 2 weeks: (My commute time is ~ 40 minutes to Baptist hospital and ~ 1 hour to UNCG. My longest clinical commute is 90 minutes.)...
  13. For All SRNA's/ RRNA's

    2nd semester at Wake with graduation in August of 2007. First test last week, another this week, and about one per week until May like JennieK. Loving clinical and honored to be here. Agree with Goose, the worst part of school is not seeing my gir...
  14. not a dumby

    I agree with Pete495, let it come when it comes. I asked the same questions and regardless of what anyone tells you, anxiety will abound.:uhoh21: Preparation is essential and ATTITUDE is vital. What I mean by that is, you are there to learn, and ...
