  2. crna vs Md

    I know it is probably more rare than not, but I currently work with a anesthesiologist who went to med school in the Caribbean and he is currently in a critical care fellowship at a large, prestigious teaching hospital. So I wouldn't say it is a dead...
  3. Differences in Simulation Labs

    Was wondering if those with personal experiences in CRNA school sim labs can comment on how they differ or whether some are more advanced, realistic, etc. than others. I'm interviewing with several programs (primarily west coast) and am curious if th...

  6. Stanford RN Residency 2014

    Honestly, the best advice I can give is to be yourself, and try to relax. The people on the panel are professional and caring, and want everyone to do well. Just try to be confident in who you are. Good luck!

    I just started in a nearly identical situation almost a year ago. First, congrats! Be confident, knowing they chose you because they believe you are capable to succeed there (they wouldn't have chosen you otherwise). You have the advantage of being ...

    Congrats for sure. Very lucky to find any job as a new grad in CA, especially in acute care. Good luck!
  12. ADN RN....do i have a chance at finding a job?

    Maybe you should first tell us what specifically you're looking for in a community/region. As you know from your current situation, many factors affect how much each individual person enjoys the community/region he/she lives in, and money and cost li...
  13. Great job finding a new grad program in NorCal as an ADN nurse! Which hospital will you be starting at and which nursing program did you graduate from? I agree with zzbxdo's advice, consult with your unit mngrs and program mngrs.

    Hey kraizie, I sent you a PM :)
  15. Is health care a "right"

    No, I'm not. As I stated above ... There needs to be a distinction between unwilling to work and unable to work. But again, this seems to be drifting off-topic. From my personal experiences, I now have the pov that I shared (which I know is somewha...
