   mh0712 replied to briaairb's topic in SRNA

   First off I am a CRNA student and I am NOT in clinicals yet; however, I have shadowed a lot and know a ton of CRNAs so let me start off answering them one by one. 1. I do not know a CRNA that thinks their job is boring. Reason being is every day is ...

   Do you carry around your stethoscope?

   mh0712 replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

   I was always told to get a good stethoscope before going to the ICU because indepth assessment matters. Well I got my cardiology scope and then I show up and they want me using the cheap little plastic ones, I was mad and would often slip a glove ove...

   Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

   mh0712 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

   One of the few and I mean really few perks of working for a union hospital was paid lunch, but if you really do not get your lunch you should make sure your manger knows.

   NP's: do you give some patients your cell number?

   mh0712 replied to anh06005's topic in NP

   I am not an NP but personally I would keep a work cell phone separate from my personal. Our pediatrician that I work with gives her cell out to a TON of parents and she is always getting texts and calls but she loves it. However, that would drive me ...

   Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

   mh0712 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Learning

   My two cents, online or hybrid is good as long as you get an actual grade and not a pass or fail which brings your gpa to a 3.0 versus a 4.0. My RN-BSN was from our state university and I had class once a month and the rest was online, but they taugh...

    New Grad - Burnout

    mh0712 replied to bxh5164's topic in New Nurse

    If it was me, I would look for another job asap before someone leaves you in a mess that you can't get out of! You worked hard for your license, so don't lose it!!! Go to critical care, find something else, and most importantly protect yourself!

    The real road to becoming a CRNA?

    mh0712 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in SRNA

    The best track is accelerated BSN to icu. You can get an icu job out of school, but might be easier to do med surg 6 months then transfer. Either way get to an ICU, learn as much as you can and then apply to the schools you want to go to. With a pre ...

    CRNA vs MDA. Who wins?

    mh0712 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in CRNA

    My personal opinion is that the CRNA wins because granted the argument will always be- med school and residency make you better and you do so much more; however, the numbers do not add up and some MDA residency programs do the same number of cases as...

    80% of nurses stressed out

    mh0712 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Male Students

    I think most people in general are stressed out. I am stressed due to the fact that I am in a full time DNP program, working full time, and engaged and getting married in April. We all are stressed and we all have life to deal with, and nursing is a...

    a bit confused about DNP

    mh0712 replied to NurseSN45696's topic in SRNA

    By 2022 all CRNA programs will have to be in compliance with the DNP movement which is that all graduating in 2025 will be with a doctoral degree. Any practicing CRNA will continue to practice and will be grandfathered in. One thing I will caution ...
