1. please, for all that is good, help me!

   whatnext replied to nathalicap's topic in SRNA

   I agree, forget the LPN. Most hospitals don't even hire LPNs anymore. If you can't do the BSN right away because of money or time, get your ADN then do RN-BSN. I got my ADN and then worked full-time as an RN while doing my BSN. You have a long way t...

4. How soon is too soon to take the GRE?

   whatnext replied to Lajimolala's topic in SRNA

   I think most schools require the GRE within the last 5 years, at least the ones I applied to. I think that's because the scores are only available for 5 years from the testing site. I waited until I was in ICU to take it.

   How'd your interview go today Loveseacraft? Did they say anything about when they are making decisions? Last week I heard by the end of the month, but the waiting is already killing me.

8. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

   whatnext replied to deeDawntee's topic in CCU

   I finally took the exam and passed today with a 115 !! Thanks to all who advised to use the PASS CCRN CD and Laura Gasparis videos....I used those in addition to the pharmacology section at the end of Pass CCRN book. My brain was about to explode.

   whatnext posted a topic in SRNA

   One of the schools I'm applying to wants a letter of recommendation from the director of the school of nursing. The problem is I never met the director of the school of nursing from my RN-BSN or ADN program. I recently moved several states away so I ...

10. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    whatnext replied to deeDawntee's topic in CCU

    Anyone know where I can get just the Pass CCRN CD? I bought the book (with the CD) last year, but pushed taking the CCRN back d/t knee surgery, took the GRE, and moved twice. Now I'm studying again, found my Pass CCRN book but no CD! I can't find it ...

11. UNC Chalotte

    whatnext replied to Gasthem2014's topic in SRNA

    I was planning on applying to UNCC for next fall (until we moved several states away), which is affilitated with Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). I worked at CMC for 2 years and shadowed a CRNA there. Just FYI, CMC is a teaching hospital and I was tol...

12. Transfer to SICU?

    whatnext replied to starbuckRN's topic in SRNA

    I'm not a CRNA or CRNA student yet, but here's my 2 cents....I would transfer to SICU if possible. I worked full time nights and did my RN-BSN, and switched from CV step-down to STICU (in a different hospital so I had to learn new hospital stuff too)...

13. moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    whatnext replied to whatnext's topic in Oklahoma

    Well, I've been in Tulsa for almost 2 months, and just started at Saint Francis a few weeks ago. So far so good. I miss Charlotte more than I thought I would, but everyone here seems really nice and friendly. mikeLPN2RN--Are you liking MICU? I inter...

14. RA pressure vs CVP

    whatnext replied to whatnext's topic in CCU

    I figured it was just a preference, or whether one is taught using RAP vs CVP. This particular nurse was adamant that it was RAP and that to call it CVP was wrong, although the values for CVP and RAP are the same. Maybe she would use CVP if the tip o...

15. RA pressure vs CVP

    whatnext posted a topic in CCU

    I've always heard CVP referring to RA pressures, including the research I've read. I just recently moved and when I called the RA a CVP (talking about the proximal port of a PA catheter) I was corrected and told it is an RA, NOT CVP since the reading...
