1. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Relations

   Actually, i was just simply making an observation. I don't pretend to know everything, but even as a college student taking nursing courses, I have seen the back stabbing and nastiness simply by being expected to do nursing group work. I have had m...

2. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Relations

   This is yet another thing that happends to demean our profession- all of the backstabbing. Its not woman bashing, its true. Men (not always), but most of the time tend to stay more objective. I have not begun clinicals yet, but I can say that when I...

4. Pa?

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to mistiffy's topic in General Nursing

   "I just cannot believe that anyone can make an argument that BSN's that go to school for 2 to 3 years for an NP, functions, 100% identically on every level, to a person who gets a BS, nd then an MD, and completes a residency" Trust me. no ones (at le...

5. Pa?

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to mistiffy's topic in General Nursing

   I too think people often underestimate the value of PA's and NP's. I think a major part of being a good PA or an NP, is to know when things are heading out of your scope of practice. And since PA's cannot practice independently, there will always be ...

6. Pa?

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to mistiffy's topic in General Nursing

   I shadowed a PA this summer actually (He was in internal medicine.) One of the most intelligent people i have ever met. I am in nursing school right now, and i do get sick of people bad mouthing them saying they only ever "treat a disease." From my ...

8. Future of CRNA education....

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to smelendez's topic in SRNA

   yes, i sent my applications in and i have to wait 10-12 weeks before i even get to hear anything!!!!! Every school is different with the admissions. Some are much more difficult than others. Old Dominion's BSN program is if you start there as a fresh...

9. Future of CRNA education....

   Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to smelendez's topic in SRNA

   Thanx for your explanation "it would be more advantageous for hospitals to cut us out"-- i guess i was mistaken. I always thought that hospitals would prefer nurse anesthetists, because of the fact that they are more cost effective than hiring anesth...

10. Future of CRNA education....

    Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to smelendez's topic in SRNA

    it would not be benefitial. I wasnt talking about lowering standards, just possibly expanding programs a little to allow some more QUALIFIED applicants admission. Thanks for your input.

11. Future of CRNA education....

    Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to smelendez's topic in SRNA

    i am enrolled to begin a B.S.N program next year, so really have no insight as to CRNA programs. My question is, why do they let so few applicants into school if we are hurting so badly for nurse anesthetists? I understand that programs want only the...

12. Admission to CRNA Program

    Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11's topic in SRNA

    Thats good to hear. Lately Ive been hearing a lot of things about poor patient/nurse ratios, with very few nurses saying they have enough time to spend as much time with their patients as they think is necessary. I guess it all comes down to Nursing ...

13. Admission to CRNA Program

    Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11's topic in SRNA

    thank you so much. I understand that the word "stuck" was definitely the incorrect word to use. I know i want to be a CRNA, but i also look forward to being able to work as an RN. I think the job they do is amazing- most couldn't do it. Besides the ...

    Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11 replied to Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11's topic in SRNA

    Yes i am pretty young (almost 17 and will be a college freshman next year), but i have done a lot of looking into this. Im just trying to see if this is a reachable goal. Did anyone here have a very hard time getting into a program? Thank you for you...

    Hey guys.. I will be entering college next fall semester to obtain my BSN. I know for sure that I want to become a CRNA- and for all the right reasons. However it really scares me looking at the numbers, and seeing how MANY students apply for admissi...
