MissChiatia, I would like to applaud you for sharing this with us. I still consider myself a "new" nurse (less than 4 years) but I am very mature in LIFE-experiences. I have been blessed with many who share my committment to compassionate patient c...
Thank you for sharing your insight. I feel I must agree - and I look forward to becoming a part of the process as a member of the ANA and my state NA. I do hope that others will join - I know many nurses whose wisdom and expertise are invaluable to...
OP, I agree when others suggest that you shadow - just to get some initial exposure. If MA school takes 1-2 years - I would suggest getting your CNA license and then a PT or PRN job, possibly in a local hospital. This will give you exposure, experi...
:balloons: Congrats! Sounds awesome! I would be on cloud 9! :balloons: Can you fill us in on how things went? Or give us advice on being a good candidate in the future? Anything, something! Please! LA
I can relate to this. When I had my PPT after I delivered my last child, the CRNA recognized my anxiety when they wheeled me in the OR - I was totally overwhelmed and started crying - couldn't even speak - they thought that I was having second thoug...
So true! It pains ME to see someone in agony. Working in PACU, I've seen all kinds of responses as you can imagine. Sleep works wonders too, especially with the children.

Sorry - I'm a nursing student but not at USC Upstate. I'm in Columbia. I work with a lady whose daughters have attended and they loved it! I've heard nothing but positive things about the Mary Black School of Nursing. Best wishes with your decis...
I just had to laugh when I read this! If you had kept going straight - you would have run over me! :chuckle I live half way between Pelion and Wagener - equidistance from Columbia, Lexington, Organgeburg, Aiken. Going to MTC right now. Could ha...
I'm sure that the OP agrees when I say that those were very encouraging replies. Thank you! We newbies really do look to the seasoned SRNAs/CRNAs for wisdom and encouragement. I have completed "half" of my BSN - all of the non-nursing courses and...
Take heart! Don't give up! If you know how to improve your results - could you take it again? At the SOM near where I live - this is what is listed in their admission requirements: 3. Satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Exam General Test take...
