   I didn't know about that, thanks. I'll look into it. I'm assuming I can get in with a BSN correct?

   In some CA hospitals there is a don't ask don't tell policy. There is onboard testing, but after that, just don't come to work high. What you do on your own time is your business and if you consistently give safe patient care, you won't be questio...

7. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

   Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   No, I asked my wife about the gender pay gap and she laughed and said "that doesn't exist." She's also an experienced med-surg nurse, and she says she's never even heard of people making different wages on the same floor and stated "that's not even ...

8. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

   Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   Oh really? Same education level? Exact same level of experience? Exact same amount of time in that hospital? Same certifications? You negotiated your wage? Not enough information in your post if you want your story to be believable. If you want ...

   Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad you you touched on this because there is a lot of truth in what you are saying. ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT! You'll never get it if you don't. Good post

10. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    So men represent 9% of the entire nursing workforce, which means that most of the people in charge are women, and THEY are paying MEN more money? So why is no one asking why women are paying men more (allegedly)? I've never worked in a hospital where...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in CRNA

    I think you probably know a lot about this topic than I do, and I respect your expertise (of which I have none on the topic) but what you are claiming is highly debatable: "EVIDENCE-BASED REVIEW DID NOT FIND NURSE ANESTHETISTS' CARE EQUAL TO THAT O...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in CRNA

    Duly noted, although there are seasoned MDs on SDN as well. You make a valid point.

    Sounds like a terrific program! I hope to have such a positive experience in anesthesia school.

14. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in CRNA

    I'm very informed, thanks. I haven't been through med school or CRNA school, but OP has and yet he agrees. So maybe it's not so much speculation on my part. Google "CRNA Horror Stories" on Student Doctor Network and you will hear the MDA side of th...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in CRNA

    I think everyone here is being too hard on the op. First, he/she gets accused of being a fraud, now he has to defend the screen name, which is really irrelevant to thread. This is his story and experience, so opinions aside, he can narrate as he se...
